Greetings! Today's lunch was a bit of a rush. We got home later than usual because we went to a book sale (I have a huge obsession with old books), so I started prepping everything late. I had in my head what I wanted the Bento to come out like, but it didn't stay long enough for me to take a picture. And my kids were already hungry, so I didn't bother re-taking the picture or re-setting the pieces.
However, I should mention that my little one eating the Bento said "bat" and "monster" so she got the idea. It's not about perfection - the kids just like the fun of it and it's important to remember that.
Today's plate is:
- Raemen noodles colored green with some pumpkin shapes cut out of a cheese slice
- One cup full of peach yogurt with apple wedges sticking out as legs, a piece of fruit leather on top and white chocolate writer for eyes and a crunchy candy in the center.
- Sandwich of turkey and bread with butter, Eyes are yogurt raisins, avocado nose and cheese and apple pieces arranged as a "stitched" mouth.
Today's Bento is:
- One cup of peach yogurt with chocolate crunchies that I added through a bat cookie cutter. Some of them spilled out, but no worries, right?
- Cream cheese and bread sandwich cut out as coffin. I used the white chocolate writer on top as the "RIP"
- Apple slices thinly sliced as a mummy/monster - candy corn teeth (which did not cooperate) - and white chocolate writer for the eyes.
- Toothpick skewered with avocado slices as hair, or monster teeth.
In hindsight, I should have done the candy corn as horns on top and the skewer as teeth.
