{Today’s Lunchbox} Weekend Lunchbox Inspiration & Giveaways

Since it is Friday and the weather is beautiful  here in Washington, DC, I thought I would share some weekend lunchbox inspiration for this weekend.  As I mentioned here, weekend lunchboxes have been a nice way to reclaim the weekend and eat lunch al fresco.  Whether for shopping/errands sustenance or a day trip, I have come to really enjoy them.  So here are some ideas for you:


Quinoa Sushi:



A “half-lunchbox” aka snacks:



Chips and wraps:



Cold weather will be here soon enough, so weekend lunchbox picnics are definitely something I am focusing on enjoying these weeks.

And, also, there are a ton of fun giveaways out there on my some of my favorite blogs:

• Lucini Cinque e’ Cinque, olive oil and other great goodies at Diet, Dessert and Dogs.
• A beautiful Space 24 planner at The Shu Box
• Cookbooks at Gluten-Free Easily as part of A Gluten-Free Holiday, created by Amy of Simply Sugar & Gluten-Free and hosted by Shirley of Gluten-Free Easily this week (be sure to check out my pumpkin ice cream recipe that I submitted)
• A sample pack of Emmy’s Organic products at Bitt of Raw (and you know how much I love Emmy’s macaroons).
