moon and stars

The theme this week at my daughter's preschool is nighttime.  I love theme lunches!

I made a hot creamy rosemary polenta (polenta, cream cheese and rosemary) to go along with dinner tonight, and set some aside to go into a shallow container in the fridge (ok, i cheated... freezer).  Perfect for cutting into shapes!  I used the good ol' halloween cookie cutters to get the star and moon shape from the polenta and placed it on top of some triscuits... I really have no idea how this is going to go over.  The last time I made polenta, I made it plain and cut into shapes and drizzled a little syrup or honey on top.  My son loved it, my daughter, not so much.  So... I am serving it again, in a slightly different form and we'll see! 



Also in this lunch, salad with cranberries, cut orange chunks with a few star shaped kiwi and orange slices on top, some barbaras organic fruit cereal moons ( I think they are supposed to be bananas, but I'm calling them moons!) and a little raspberry vinaigrette for the salad.

  1. Hi!
    I have SO enjoyed your blog, and also have the LL system for my kiddos. Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that I discovered tonight when unloading the dishwasher that the Little Blends yogurt cups fit beautifully with the Take'N'Toss lids... Thought maybe it could be a great tip!
