Happy Food!

I discovered my cute baran sheets last week! I guess I've known they were there, but I actually pulled them out and used them to contain some rather unruly jello. Ellie also got chicken, tofutti stars, strawberries, and homemade dairy-free "goldfish" crackers!

The oval bento box

I have this oval bento box that I find to be uber cute, but have to admit that I struggle with filling it because it is a different shape than my other bento boxes. Ellie's snack this day was boring for just that reason. Some pasta (albeit shaped like vehicles!) and frozen peas. Still, she enjoyed the snack at school and it was good for her. I'll have to keep working on this box, though.

Another week!

Another week, another set of bentos. Actually, this is from last week. This week has been a little messed up by the fact that I have been pretty seriously sick this week. So... You get last week's cast offs, spaced out if I do it right... Ha!

Let's see... we will start with the pancakes and berry mush bento for your viewing pleasure. I didn't intend for the berries to be mush, but they were. Yeah, Ellie didn't think they looked too appetizing, either, and didn't eat them. Sigh.

But at least the box was cute!! It's one I got from my friend Tam this summer!

First Day of School....

Tuesday was Eliana's first day of kindergarten. To celebrate, I made her a snack bento based on the book we read for her bedtime story, "The Kissing Hand". She loved it!

Last Week's Lunches

As I stated in the last post, we're gearing up for school, and that means bentos for lunch! Here's a review of what Ellie had for lunch last week!!

She ate all but the last one, since I forgot to give it to her. Oops! That one becomes lunch tomorrow. =D

Eliana starts kindergarten in a couple weeks, so we're gearing up by practicing things like... making a week's worth of lunches and getting back into the bento habit!! Monday through Friday, here we come! All lined up in the fridge...
