Almost Pumpkins (Kindergarten Bento 27)
I think (hope) that this week will be a little bit calmer. It would almost have to be, wouldn’t it? ;) I’ve got a dentist appointment this morning (grr, I need a filling replaced), and Friday night is “Fall Fun Night”, but I haven’t committed to doing anything for that. the middle of the week looks clear, so hopefully I can spend some time on cute bento!
Cream cheese and cheddar rolls on a sun-dried tomatotTortilla (they were supposed to look like pumpkins, but don’t really), ham flower, grape tomato, broccoli, asparagus, strawberries with papaya flowers and grapes.
Time taken: about 15 minutes. I microsteamed the asparagus and broccoli and then made the rolls, ham flower and strawberry stacks while it cooled down, and then assembled everything.
Hi! I didn’t remember the “cracklins” part of the recipe. Never made that part and the dish is fine without it. I don’t think I would want that anyway!
Do you use the tortilla just as is – like taking a slice of bread from the loaf? I have not gotten into using them but would like to.
@eilismaura: yes, ma’am. I haven’t gotten the hang of exactly how much meat/cheese type filling to use and where to put it, exactly. But I just take a whole tortilla, layer on the fillings, and then roll up from one side. The ends are usually mommy’s lunch since they aren’t nice and flat like the center pieces.
