Seen one, seen 'em all...

Yep, matching bentos for Eliana and her best friend, Josie!

Peek-a-bento!

A slice of canadian bacon and a cookie cutter make this fun, especially when used as toppers for silicone cups filled with dipping sauce and chicken salad! Peek-a-boo!

Star Struck

I got these star silicone cups at World Market a little while back and I haven't been making bentos until recently again. I pulled these out and started playing. I like them! Kind of wish I'd gotten some of the other shapes they had, too.

You can see at the bottom of one of the stars that I put sprinkles in the bottom of the jello cups I made Ellie so she'd have a little bling and a surprise at the bottom! She loves it!

Nothing Fancy

... it's nothing fancy, but it's a bento. If I tell Ellie those are green bean fries, she'll dip them in the ketchup in the little container and eat them all! This bento disappeared completely, except for the very bottom of the blueberry muffin. The mac and cheese and beans were a hit!

Bento Factory

In anticipation of a busy week, I have been making a few bentos ahead of time. Nothing too fancy, just stuff that can easily be stored in a bento in the fridge until it gets eaten. It's like I have my own little bento factory!
