Lunch and Breakfast Ideas with Pumpkins

October has been a crazy and busy month. On Wednesday we went to the pumpkin patch with JDaniel’s class, rushed from the farm the patch was on to his speech assessment and then to a local park to visit with some playgroup friends we haven’t seen in ages. Thankfully the park is less than a mile from the testing site. The farm was forty minutes away from our church’s school where the testing took place. With so much going on I created lunch and breakfast ideas we could take on the go if we needed to.

With all that going on I knew I needed to pack JDaniel a bento lunch to have at some point. He ended up having it in the waiting area of the testing center. I was so glad I had brought it with me the testing ran over an hour and it was 1:30 p.m. before he finished.  The tester commented that he had so much to say it was hard to move on to the other questions on the language part of the test.

Lunch Ideas

What did he have for lunch? He had pumpkins spice marshmallows, pumpkin spice cream cheese spread on a flour tortilla and cut into sections, carrots (left uneaten), red grapes, and ham and Colby Jack pumpkin cutouts.

Breakfast Ideas

 A breakfast muffin tin meal with a pumpkin theme was also served this week. JDaniel has started asking for a flour tortilla and Colby Jack cheese for breakfast. Some mornings he gets all the ingredients out and makes it himself. This lunch features his favorite breakfast sandwich in a the shape of a pumpkin. He also got sweet potato french fries leftover from the night before, pumpkin spice marshmallows, red grapes, raisin bran, and frozen yogurt pumpkin.
JDaniel doesn’t usually get dessert at breakfast time, but he loves the marshmallows and I thought I would spoil him a little.

We have loved taste testing pumpkin relate products we have found at the store.

  1. I made rice crispy treats with those pumpkin mallows last week and they’re so good!

  2. I love hearing about all your pumpkin related products…we don’t have them in Australia…just plain old fresh ones lol! That little pumpkin you made from the flatbread is lovely!What a lucky little man!

  9. That’s a wonderful idea. It’s hard to get my son to eat healthy at school since I’m not there telling him he has to at least try his carrots etc. I’ll try the shapes

  13. I love the pumpkin shaped cheese~! Good way to teach children, square, triangles, circles ect. eat the squares~! That would be a fun game and one way to get kids to eat.
    you are very clever in making food look good~!
    ta ta for now from Iowa:)

  15. Such cute ways to enjoy the fall. We have been making witches brooms everyday which seem to be a huge hit! IT’s funny to watch kids that won’t eat pretzels eat them when shaped in Halloween shapes!

  23. The carrots have been coming back in my kids lunches lately too… It’s frustrating, but my kids are much more likely to eat them at home when they are the only thing offered than to eat them at school.
