6 Geese, 7 Swans, 8 Maids, 9 Ladies!

 Hi everyone! Today is catch up day - I've had some computer problems the past 4 days and haven't been able to post any pictures to my blog. My wonderful son figured out how to fix it, so today I'm posting 4 lunches to get back on track. Let's see, where were we?  On the 6th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
6 geese a-laying,
5 gold rings,
4 calling birds,
3 french hens,
2 turtle doves,
and a partridge in a pear tree!
12 Days of Christmas Bento

This lunch contains gluten free pasta with spagetti sauce, extra lean sausage, a mozzarella goose, and her nest is made from thin, cooked zucchini strips.

Also in the lunch is a salad with a yellow bell pepper number 6, and blackberries.

 

Now, on to day 7 - 7 Swans a-swimming:

12 Days of Christmas Bento

This lunch is made of jade green rice, (which is naturally green), sliced pork roast, berries and grapes, and the details are - a mozzarella swan, purple potato waves, carrot fish and number 7, and steamed green beans.

 

Next, day 8 - 8 Maids a-milking:

12 Days of Christmas Bento

I decided to represent this verse of the song by showing one maid, one cow, and a bucket of "milk" (yogurt). The maid and cow were made from cheese, ham, and purple potato, with nori punched details and sriracha sauce for color. the number 8 was made from 2 letter Os, since I don't have any number cutters : )

The lunch food is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, pineapple, sugar snap peas, yogurt, and  a Homemade Luna Bar .

 

Now on to 9 Ladies Dancing:

On the 9th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
9 ladies dancing,
8 maids a-milking,
7 swans a-swimming,
6 geese a-laying,
5 gold rings,
4 calling birds,
3 french hens,
2 turtle doves,
and a partridge in a pear tree!

12 Days of Christmas Bento

For this lunch I used leftover gluten free pizza from our favorite restaurant, Pizza Pie Cafe. It's the only restaurant where our whole family can go  and I don't have to bring any of my own food from home, lol! They serve gluten free pizza and pasta - my son and I are in heaven when we eat there!  😀

The dancing lady is made from purple potato, ham, and cheese with nori and sriracha face details. the 9 is actually an upside down "G" that was squished into shape : ). On the side are pineapple and kiwi cut with a flower cutter, grapes, peas, and tomatoes with ranch dip.

 


It feels good to be back on track! Come back tomorrow to see 10 Lords a-Leaping : )

Hey there! My name's Kristie and I'm glad you're here :)
