In today’s lunch

Main PB&J Sandwich on whole grain white — her head and the stars; also on her head, a fruit roll up, fruit leather.

Sides Mandarin orange with blueberries and two Girl Scout Samoas
Also included but not pictured String cheese

Save the Muppets Bento 🙂 Chef (face and hand) is PB& Jam (was supposed to be turkey sandwich but there is no turkey to be found in my fridge), with a mozzarella cheese hat, and a spice drop nose.
