Snack Box for Fruits & Veg Day (wk7'15)

Missy's birthday was on Valentine's day so we decided to celebrate her birthday in school on a friday.

I have totally forgotten that I still need to prepare her snack box too! So immediately after dropping Sher in school, I rushed home and see what I could prepare for her before her snack time while also trying to touch up piping the last rim of her birthday cake. The cake was baked with the help of her Godma the night before, and yes, its a strawberry shortcake.

Oh yes, back to her snack box, as you have already know, Sher loves strawberries to the infinity and beyond so naturally it has to be in the main cast of her snack box since its also her birthday celebration. And at the same time, I decided to gave her something new to try (in case not many of you know, Sher is a picky eater / fussy eater, so her fear factor food meter is really limited)

..... Edamame!!

Some cute food picks hope it entice her curiosity to try them....
