Panda Bento (Bento #12)

This is a panda bear sandwich filled with Nutella, 3 red, ripe strawberries, pistachios, and a boiled egg shaped as a fishy.

 

This lunch came back clean! :)
That always makes me happy!

Piggie bento (Bento #11)

Nico's bento lunch today consists of a ham and cheese piggie sandwich, mini carrot flowers, boiled egg in the shape of a car, 2 peanut butter patty cookies, and a small banana.

 
The piggie was made with my CutezCute cutter.

Wings and things (Bento #10)

This is yet another simple bento type lunch for Nico. He loves wings and since we had some leftover they went in his box!

Here you see 4 chicken wings, strawberries, broccoli, and cheese cubes. All the required foods for a balanced meal! Protein, fruit, vegetable, and dairy.

Not a cupcake kind of day (Bento #9)

There are days that I really feel like making bento lunches and then there was a day like today.

I had no plans of making Nico's lunch this morning, but he asked me to. Since I had time I agreed.
I compare making the "cute" bentos to decorating cupcakes. It's not something you mind doing but also it's not something you want to have to do everyday! Most days that Nico gets a bento it is average like this one. Simple foods that I have on hand here at home. Let's break this bento down.

In this bento, Nico had 4 cooked chicken nuggets, a mushroom sliced in half, 2 carrot/cucumber "flowers", a "bunny" apple wedge, a babybel cheese, and some minature chocolate chip bears. He had BBQ sauce on the side for his nuggets. Easy peasy and took maybe 7-8 minutes to put together!

Which came first? (Bento #8)

The all-time pondered question... I would say the chicken, not the egg!
Here are some lunches I made with both! Chicken and the egg.

The first bento would be Nate's lunch. The following is Luis' lunch. I used leftover chicken tenders and nuggets from yesterdays dinner for the salads.
