Some of the favorites are crispy nuts, nut muffins, lentils w/ coconut, israeli salad, plantain fried in coconut oil over rice, bean salad... I could go on and on. If we do meet one of these days, I will give you more ideas!!!<br /><br />Blessings to your family!chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13000048335903718913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180418533341961195.post-81230996797658307262009-10-26T17:11:52.845-07:002009-10-26T17:11:52.845-07:00Hello!

And as I read this post, a big smile stamp to my face ( oh my english). I want to say that I was away of the blog-world for a while because the work, because the pregnancy, because the busy life. So, to answer to you, I blog in my head too and when I feel the need to share something, I do and I visit some beautiful and inspiring blogs. I think the weather helps too. Here, in Québec, is the automn so we feel more coccoon... WELL happy first anniversary.

I was admiring all the gorgeous wooden toys and warmth and noticed a link to your blog. So that's how I found you. I'm thrilled! <br /><br />We're a gluten-free family, and my children love almond butter and all-fruit sandwiches with fruit and something crunchy. We have been using laptop lunchboxes and would like to switch to a better alternative and would love these! <br />Angela<br /><br />ilovethemso @ yahoo.comSomeone Beautifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10235213938101654290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180418533341961195.post-86699961348106441892009-10-24T14:31:42.103-07:002009-10-24T14:31:42.103-07:00hi marina!

Awesome lunch boxes! We usually do leftovers for lunch, but I also often make some sort of bread from the Laurel's Kitchen Bread Book and have it with cheese or nut butter and apple or pear slices throughout the week. My kids like to drink fresh green juice, too, and I like to serve that with lunch (celery, cucumber, kale, apple...whatever we have).carihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06162310243682406838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180418533341961195.post-62381249076486096942009-10-23T07:34:12.133-07:002009-10-23T07:34:12.133-07:00Hi Marina,

I first found it through your posts about your playroom on MDC, and I just read about your giveaway on the Waldorf curriculum list. Thanks so much for doing a giveaway. Things like this stainless lunch box set are just so far out of budget right now that I could never justify buying it. It's nice to know that I might have a chance of winning. :-) Happy blogiversary!!Sdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16377456493786067320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180418533341961195.post-83128751614039657212009-10-23T06:37:32.406-07:002009-10-23T06:37:32.406-07:00Love your blog...Grey loves when I make peanut but...Love your blog...Grey loves when I make peanut butter on whole wheat, and crimp the edges like a store bought frozen sandwich....I make a whole loaf at a time, and wrap them individually and put them in the freezer....they thaw perfectly by the time they are eatenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180418533341961195.post-10149717006815951272009-10-23T05:39:08.117-07:002009-10-23T05:39:08.117-07:00I have been wanting to replace my plastic for many...I have been wanting to replace my plastic for many of these tiffins...<br />Our snacks really depend on the season.

Over the past 20 years, I have been using my cloth bags at the supermarket, but it's only been in the last 4-5 years, that I've stepped it up (why did it take me so long?). Now I use wrap-n-mats for lunches and snacks, stainless steel water bottles, the Diva Cup and Glad Rags, reusable veggie bags, homemade cloth napkins, glass jars to fill with bulk items at the stores, and I bring my reusable shopping bags to EVERY store now (not just for supermarkets anymore). I've even started bringing food containers with me when we eat out, in case we have leftovers. Add to all of this gardening, composting, etc, and I feel like we do our part! It takes time to implement all the changes, but it adds up. If everyone did these things the world would be a cleaner place!LeslieKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646033956316840188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180418533341961195.post-4888405770390366162009-10-23T01:49:07.054-07:002009-10-23T01:49:07.054-07:00Kudos to you on the blogiversary!

You'd think as a writer it wouldn't be a problem, but I'd soak up all my creative energy writing blog posts and have none left for my stories. I've also cut way back on blog reading, but yours is on the short list for sure!!! Thanks for keeping me inspired.<br />I love the tiffin set--my kids are pretty hardcore pb & honey (our own, of course) eaters so I rarely get to do much different. But the most fun recently was sneaking a scoop of my homemade icecream inside their soup thermoses!!! I put ice cubes inside to let them "chill" and right before I zipped up the lunch bags replaced the ice with the ice cream...they said it was cold enough to eat at lunchtime.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01247435580507783428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180418533341961195.post-25107404904372775162009-10-22T20:40:47.350-07:002009-10-22T20:40:47.350-07:00What a beautiful giveaway.

There just aren't enough hours in the day, once you've got children, pure and simple!<br /><br />Your giveaway is so nice! What prompts something like this? I'd love to try the boxes... we try to use as little disposables as possible, but I wind up carrying all kinds of things... baskets, paper and plastic bags, thermal coolers... water cups...it's endless!<br /><br />I LOVE the happy face coffee!

Lately, we've been in to persian cucumbers with a little salt, celery with cream cheese, and some sort of beans with either a sandwich (on homemade bread if I'm feeling particularly sassy) or a tamale. Pretty basic. That coconut brown rice with raisins someone mentioned sounds yummie - I'd love it if they posted the recipe.<br />Hope to see you next friday.courtneybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11165383541167975098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180418533341961195.post-37275524934579129462009-10-22T18:37:17.158-07:002009-10-22T18:37:17.158-07:00Happy Anniversary!
