Bento: beach

Toddler Bentos

These Bento boxes were the first ones I purchased years ago, and I still love them. All of the items were found on AllThingsForSale.com
I made "rounds" out of cheddar, jack, and turkey. I layered the cheeses and drew a caterpillar's face on the top slice. Ritz crackers, yellow tomatoes, dried blueberries, and a cutie complete this lunch. The kids don't care if every item in the lunch is "fun," but they do love to open their lunches to little surprises.

Lunch: Winnie the Pooh

"Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there someday."

Not much of a Bento, but the Kirkland Pooh animal crackers inspired me.

Sourdough Madness

Anyone who has ever fully enjoyed a loaf of sourdough bread in France will understand my crazed obsession.  We returned late Monday night, and I already have 4 starters going that I made. I have yet another starter on order. I am keeping notes on the different containers for now as I learn how to feed and maintain each of the 4 different "creatures."

Do you have a favorite starter or bread recipe?

Bento: Softball

This weekend is the annual Reckless Kelly Celebrity Softball Jam charity event, and a baseball-themed Benito seemed appropriate!

Bento: Healthy Easter

It doesn't feel like spring at a chilly 36 degrees this morning. 
Whole grain sandwich with Wilton bunny cutout and Wilton Food Writer coloring. Silicone plant and plastic leaf stems are from AllThingsForSale.com. Cuties, grape tomatoes, and a Gogurt finish out today's lunch.

Bento Friday

Bento: Spring Break!

Lunch: Homework or...

Our 2nd grader conveniently didn't bring his homework home yesterday, so today's lunch offers a silly reminder from pirates about the importance of homework.

Woah! Pack lunch?

I did it. I almost forgot to pack lunches for the twins. Thank goodness for my treasure chest of goodies. These little lamb rings make this oh so boring lunch a little more fun.
