A Thanksgiving Bento for my Little Lady: hardboiled eggs with nori and cheese decorations, cheese letters (which spell "Thankful"), apple slices and trailmix.
I’ve gotten behind on both photographing and sharing the Little Lady’s preschool lunches; mornings, like for most families with babies, are a bit unpredictable. Just when you think you can move to the next agenda on the morning’s list, Baby Barney demands a diaper change, a feeding … or just some Mommy-loving.
It’s hard being three months old.
October and November have been fun months as far as Bentos go; with iconic Holidays and specific classroom themes, we’ve had a ball planning bento lunches. We’ve run into one snag, though — she’s getting tired of my vegetable options. Although I don’t have pictures, I have started rotating roasted purple potatoes through out the weeks and that’s helping the monotony of carrots, tomatoes, broccoli, celery and edemame.
If ANYONE has any other veggie ideas (ones that will do well in a bento), please share!
Now … on to a few of our recent Fall Bentos (and please forgive the quality of my camera-phone!):
Owl Bento: mini quiche with owl face, grapes, orange tomatoes
Falling leaves Bento: Peanut Butter Pocket Sandwich with a Colby Cheese tree and falling leaves, cucumber slices, carrot chips and a couple of snickerdoodles.
Halloween!!! Mummy Dogs, "Boo" cheese letters over Sugar Snap Peas, Monster Mouths (apples and almonds) and a pumpkin bread cookie.
The Little Lady will have one more “fall” themed lunch tomorrow (I’m thinking a Turkey of some shape or form) and then it’s on to CHRISTMAS!
