My boyfriend used to work the night shift which meant his "lunch" or dinner was at 6 pm and he always liked me to bring him food because he only got about 15 mins to eat. Being the awesome girlfriend I am I would bring him dinner ALL the time! Mostly just fast food stuff. But I wanted to do something extra special for him one day and that is why I made him this heart lunch. When I gave it to him I said "I heart you!" and all his food was in the shape of hearts.
Not only did I make this really adorable "heart" lunch, but I put them in these cute Star Wars containers that I found in the dollar section at target (One of my favorite places in the world).
I cut up bananas and strawberries into hearts, which was very simple. With some DELICIOUS homemade fruit dip.
A chicken salad sandwich cut into a heart. We eat our chicken salad sandwiches on croissants but I couldn't find a way to make the croissant into a heart AND have it fit in the container. So I did a small heart shaped sandwich on regular white bread and then another sandwich on a croissant.
My boyfriends FAVORITE treat is Trix Crispies or Trix Treats. They're made exactly like Rice Crispy Treats but with Trix. (It's funny that this is his favorite treat because I can make very delicious, time consuming baked goods and all he ever wants is a treat I can throw together in 2 seconds.) So for dessert, a Trix crispy heart.
He loved it! All his coworker are jealous that he not only gets a delicious meal but that someone loves him enough to smother him in hearts!! haha Maybe your guy wouldn't be into this... and thats okay too! You could make him a nice manly lunch with.... jerky! and steak!! Heart bacon maybe?
Mischief managed!
This heart lunch is SO cute!! And target dollar section rocks my world too. The best. I can't wait until Kimber is in school and I can pack her cute lunches like this and use her hello kitty tupperware! heehee. Maybe I will do something like this for Ben one day for school, he would like that. Also did you change trix cripy??? hahaha I don't see it anymore ;) I love the idea of using paper baking cups.. plus they're disposable. I did a quick version of this for Ben one night when he had to stay late at work, instead of cutting everything into hearts I just carved a heart into the butter on his banana bread and stuck a heart post it note on the top of the container that said I heart you.
