This is one of the few mid sized bento that we have, and its the perfect amount of food — and he accidentally broke one of the clips.  Sigh =) PB and blueberry jam leaf shaped sandwich, grapes, babybel, grape tomatoes and carrots.

  Another quickie.  One of these days I’ll find a little more time again! Pb and lemon curd sandwiches in flower shape with candy sprinkles in the center, quail eggs, starawberries and corn.

  Kidlet complained yesterday that his lunch needed to be bigger, so today I used a large container and packed quite a lot.  I don’t expect him to eat it all, but want to see if I can get a sense of what the right amount would be.  The 320ml boxes are definitely too small unless […]

  I bought a new pocket sandwich maker.  It’s not much more than a glorified cookie cutter honestly, with just a slightly wider rim for sealing the edges.  It does automatically press the facial features in though.  I’d wanted to emphasize those by filling them in with some meat and cheese accents and kidlet emphatically […]

  Kidlet informed me that he was tired of cheese and he didn’t want a cute lunch at all.  Well, I hope that is just a momentary request! PB and homemade blueberry jam on mini crescent rolls, gold and red raspberries, sungold cherry tomatoes.

  Egg salad on a butter roll, carrot curls, apple and blueberries.

  Not much variety in this one.  I need to pick up more veggies that he will actually eat. Cheese car with nori wheels on ham and cheese sandwich, checkered apple, blueberries.

  I had about 27 things to get done last night, none of which did get done.  Hubby had to go out after dinner to entertain his project manager who is in from the Chicago area (we’re in Oregon), and keeping up with both kids and getting them both bathed and into bed took a […]

  Spent most of the day at the school today while my mom came in to town to watch Baby L.  First I stopped in at the Kindergarten parents “tea” to introduce myself (as the Volunteer Coordinator) and help out the ladies that were hosting it, and then afterwards volunteering in Kidlet’s class today. Ham and cheese […]

  This bento was done in one of our big boxes so that I could fit a whole sandwich with the map on it.  I can’t claim credit for the map idea; I saw it done as a quesadilla and just converted it to a sandwich topper for Kidlet’s bento. I put it in the oven […]
