Both my girls love Dora the explorer. We watch her DVDs in the evening and even had a Dora themed party when my oldest turned three. I had done a Dora themed muffin tin lunch and bentos before, but today I decide to have a Dora week before all the Halloween celebrations begin. It's nice that the show has so many great characters so it's really easy to spread out over a week! Today our Dora celebrity is Map or (Karta in Finnish t.v.)
In this muffin tin lunch we have:
- A "I'm the map" vegan burrito made with soy vegetable protein and yummy vegan tomato based sauce. I added carrots just in case the girls missed grated cheese.
- A side order of Spanish rice with black beans, garlic, corn and soft rice in a Tex-Mex tomato sauce.
- A side cup filled with sweet corn
- sliced cucumbers and a cherry tomato
- A serving of fruit puree of blueberries and apple sauce.
This was the snack bento Missy Lulu took to school.
In this snack bento she had:
- A" I'm the Map" burrito, this time filled with home made apple sauce and cinnamon.
- A banana wedge and sliced apples.
- A cup of raisins
- Boxed o.j.
Despite the meal being totally vegan my two girls munched away without skipping a beat! Vegetarian/ vegan meals are definitely something I am willing to incorporate into our meal routine. It's always a good idea to eat heavy meats and dairy products in moderation, so this is an experiment I really needed to learn from.
