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.

3 Lunch Friday

It's been a long week, and I was tempted to *gasp* give our oldest $ for a school cafeteria lunch. I managed to pull it together long enough to make sandwiches, pull out cookie cutters for fruit leather and sandwiches, cut some apple slices, mix peanut butter and honey and top with heart sprinkles, and cut some "Aussie apples."  Regular sandwich boxes, a food container with dip cup, and rubberbands (yes, really) hold today's lunches.
