Bear Loves ONIGIRI

First of all, I'd like to make a BIG thank you to my Secret Santa, Keitha of Keitha's Chaos for the generous Christmas Bento Gifts I received last Christmas, which made this day's lunch incredibly possible. I am no expert when it comes to ONIGIRIS. But with this little help, I was able to come up with a very cute lunch for my kids.

On our EasyLunchboxes, each one got a bear and a heart-shaped onigiris, with their favorite holiday ham leftovers.  On each smaller compartment are rows of grape tomatoes, and some raisin grapes.

Wishing everyone had a fabulous lunch!

School Lunches: Ocean Wonders

Today is my birthday so I thought of making a cute lunch theme for the kiddos.  The first time I made them octopuses and crabs was last summer and they were so sold to that idea.  If you haven't seen that yet, check it out here. So I got to repeat them this school year to serve hotdog lunches in so many ways.

Here's a lunch for Mr G: Hotdogs Octupuses and Crabs with
white Jasmine Rice, and Nori sheets, celery stick with Ranch, and pluots.

For Missy A: She got 3 pairs of Octopuses and Crabs on sticks,
with Goldfish crackers and lots of Nori. 

Cocktail of mini jellies "ala JellyFish" for her AM snack.

Under The Sea

My daughter and I tried our luck with KYARABENS (Character Bento). We took out her playdough cutters and chose the right shape for her favorite theme - The Sea! We made it with bread, turkey and cheese. Then we added some clementines for the corals or seashells, and some Nori for the seaweeds. We need some more practice to put them altogether in a bento box.  Then it would be ready for school.

And here are all the scraps which made it to my breakfast. Spread some Nutella & peanut butter for a chocolatey treat.  I am a chocoholic mom. Not everyday, but when the cravings strike, I should get a dose of it.  Nothing soothes me best, but the chocolates. 

But guess what, Mamabelly has just come up with a French Toast Casserole recipe that takes care of this scrap better and tastier. It has cinnamon that makes me itch to try it next time. I'm sure the kids will love it as well. Now, wouldn't you wanna try that out?
