Save the Whale Earth Day Lunch
April 19, 2012
Cora was so excited by the Earth Day theme yesterday, she woke up asking for another one today. I call this one Save the Whale because my ‘blue’ water turned out a sludgy purple so it looks like he is swimming in polluted water. Poor guy!
For more Earth Day themed lunches, see out yesterday’s post (Earth Day Tree Hugger Lunch), then click on the button at the end of the post to hop through the amazing lunches in the Earth Day Bento Blog Hop. There are some really great cute n green lunches in there made by some very talented gals!
In honor of Earth Day, I decided to go entirely vegan with this lunch (except for the gelatin in the vitamin).
Our poor little fruit leather whale is swimming in yummy coconut milk yogurt dyed an odd sludgy purple with blue natural food dye. Other folks got a really nice color using the natural dyes so I think it was a weird reaction to the coconut milk (as opposed to dairy products).
Our vegan Earth Day lunch is finished off with a hummus and spinach reduce, reuse, recycle Earth surrounded by carrot sticks, a broccoli and almond cheese forest (the grass is almond cheese dyed green with natural food dye) and fruit flowers.

Earth Day Tree Hugger Lunch
April 17, 2012
I’m back! My hand is in great shape and Cora is headed back to school, just in time to bring an Earth Day themed lunch for the Earth Day Blog Hop. I just love these, so many creative ideas in one place! So be sure to click on the button at the end of the post to see some great green, earthy, fun lunches! I posted an additional Earth Day lunch on Thursday, so you can hop on over there, then continue the hop with the button at the bottom of that post.
In honor of Earth Day, I decided to go entirely vegan with this lunch. I am curious to see how Cora reacts to vegan (almond) cheese!
We are all tree huggers in our family so I thought a tree hugging cutie would be a fun way to celebrate the day. The sandwich is cheddar style almond cheese quesadilla on whole wheat lavash and the girl is mozzarella style almond cheese with fruit leather and soy paper accents. Here is our cutie without her tree:
Our vegan Earth Day lunch is finished off with a hummus and spinach globe, whole wheat pretzel sticks, carrot sticks, pineapple flowers, raspberries and two little vegan marshmallow ‘clouds’
