Apple Tree Pasta Meal for Kids

Have you ever walked down the aisle of a grocery store,  looked at some food item and thought that is would be perfect of a food creation or bento lunch. It has started happening to me. Seriously, I looked at a box of multicolored pasta and thought that it would be perfect to create an apple tree pasta meal or lunch for JDaniel.
I had noticed the box before and hadn’t thought anything of it. It was just another box of pasta on the shelf! Two weeks ago suddenly I looked at it  and thought it would be great for an apple tree pasta meal.
“The green noodles would make great leaves. The red noodles would be wonderful apples. ( The red noodles faded while boiling. I wish they had stayed brighter.) The brown noodles would be great ground cover,” I thought as I stood looking a the box. The pasta meal came together in my mind right in the grocery aisle.

I guess I have been making muffin tin and bento lunches for too long. Food creations just pop into my mind as I walk down grocery aisles.

The apple tree of pasta  meal came together so well. All I needed to add to the box of pasta was a few tube sized noodles, a little Parmesan cheese and butter. JDaniel loves buttered cheese noodles. This pasta meal quickly disappeared. I will need to think of more pasta meals. My son really loves them.

If you happen to run into while I am shopping and I am staring at a package of something, I may be reading the ingredients or I may be imagining how it could be displayed in a food creation.  It really could be either, but it probably is how it could fit into a meal.

If you like this pasta meal, you will find more food creations on my Food Creations board on Pinterest.

  9. I think it’s wonderful that your mind instantly comes up with ideas while in the store. That is so cute!

  12. That is a really cute idea. : ) I’ve never thought about using multicolor pasta in that way, but we should try it.

  13. Wow! This turned out great! I’ve found that the cuter I make things the quicker they disappear. Except beans, I can’t seem to make those appealing to anyone, including my husband (sigh).

  14. Really cute! Your story made me laugh because that has started to happen to me too. I find an interesting looking food and wonder, “What could I turn that into?”!
