Bento-a-Day Easter Edition: Day 1 and 2

Hi There!

Doing a few things at once here: Updating the blog, doing my nails, filling in my planner, watching Fish Hooks... don't judge me. Anyway, I have decided to try and do a bento a day for the kids in honor of Easter. This is kind of an event for me because I don't always get to prepare a bento everyday for them. But I'm really going to just get off my butt and do this. So far, the week is going pretty well.

I'd been seeing a lot of Bunny Butts all over Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook so I can't take credit for this idea. But I did try my hand at it. I like how it turned out and my IG friends seemed to enjoy it as well. Bubba actually ate this sandwich, which is a victory for me because he's only just started like sandwiches.

A Froggy Snack Sammie

 Hi, All!

Dinner was made late tonight (chicken pot pie) so I decided to give M a little snack while Bubba was napping. She asked for a Froggy jelly sandwich. So here's what we got. Strawberry jelly CuteZcute pretty frog sandwich. Addes a little broccoli and some light canned peaches for some balance. She ate her sandwich in record time. Peaches were demolished too. Only broccoli was left, which is odd because she usually eats that too. But I'm not complaining. M is eating all her sandwiches with little coaxing!!! She also topped off some chicken that I had shredded for her earlier but couldn't finish. So I'm a pretty happy mommy right now.

Holiday Themed Bento

Hello again, Friends!

 

Well here's a post that includes a few recent lunches. I tried to arrange them in my Slideshow so that the most recent roll first. I've only done a couple Easter/ Springtime bentos recently. But I shall be doing more as the holiday draws nearer. I hope you enjoy the other holiday themes as well. I even included my "Talk Like a Pirate Day" themed lunches.

 

 

Character Themed Bento

Hi, Everyone!

 

Here I am, updating again. I decided to categorize some of my lunches so that they were a bit more specific. I hope these give you some ideas for your own lunches. Again, I've gone with a Slideshow approach as it just makes it easier and takes up less space. Less scrolling for us all, you know.



 

 

How about just a pic gallery post?

So... Going through all my posts, I realized... I've really... REALLY fallen behind. So, I decided to just catch y'all up in one big picture post. Feel free to ask questions about any lunch since I won't be posting any descriptions... Sorry. Yeah I'm really that lazy right now.

Anyway! Enjoy and stay inspired! Be posting soon!

These Little Piggies

K, so these, I have to say, were inspired by a new, and very creative friend of mine on Instagram. She doesn't blog just yet, but I do adore seeing the meals she posts on her profile! My kids like them too!

T actually picked this theme out from seeing her pics and was very excited when I asked him if he'd like a lunch like that. M appreciated his choice as well! This is another jam sandwich bento, btw.

I used the CuteZcute cutter set for M's, but used a circular cookie cutter for T's; as he's still eating smaller bites (not necessarily eating less, however). This is where I derived inspiration from my friend. The piggy snouts and ears were done with hot dog just like hers' were.

Underneath the pink silicone piggy cup in M's box is a surprise of gummy and marshmallow flowers. T has the same surprise in the pink plastic piggy.

I'm loving the hat accessories from BentoUSA! And I noticed that the little ball caps have Ts on them! It's a completely unintended but serendipitous phenomenon! I'm happy with it! Lol!

I admit, this is quite a lot of food for the kids. I do usually fix more than less because I want them to try things at least once. I'm lucky that my kids love veggies so I don't worry much about that. I want them to learn to explore different flavors and to find good as exciting as I do! An adventure on a plate, right? Or in a box...

Anyhow... Hope you're hungry now and, as always, inspired! Be posting soon!

CuteZcute Uncrustable!

So I actually own a panda sandwich pocket maker. I won it in a giveaway last year. Unfortunately, it got left in California along with many other of my bento items, when I went to visit my family. So now I've got to make due without it for a while until mommy can send some more of my forgotten things over.

Anyway, here's a how-to for making your own crust-less pocket sandwich using your CuteZcute cutter. Hope it works out!

Stay inspired! Be posting soon!

Catching Up: Taco Lunches

Made these the other day in our Easylunchboxes. We had had crunchy tacos for dinner the night before so here's a spruced up leftovers bento for y'all.

While the kids get their taco toppings separately, Mommy's got a delectable taco salad. And nothing like homemade CuteZcute tortilla chips to add some fun to a rich meal. I love my extra crispy panda too! The color makes him so cute! I've even got crunchy Tiny Bits (the small punched out parts left by the CuteZcute cutters) tossed into my salad to give it a yummy crunch. Oh I recommend this so much!

Hope you're hungry now AND inspired! Be posting again soon!
