Fit for a princess

It's been a long weekend! Taia's birthday party is past us so maybe I can get back in to bento-ing!

Here she has a PB crown sandwich with Florida's Natural fruit "gems," wheat thins cinnamon sticks and strawberries!

We've gone dye-free and it's actually a lot harder (for me) to make bentos cute without the icing accents! I'm getting used to it though! I think I will have to cheat and still use icing eyes!!!

It's been a while!

Taia's 4th birthday is this Saturday! I've been busy getting ready and have been slacking on bentos! She's been getting chicken nuggets for a week and LOVED it! :) But tomorrow she's getting some Spring shaped cheese and crackers with broccoli and carrot sticks!

Spring Break Picnic!

It's spring break week! Today we went to a picnic and play event with our local playgroup! Of course we needed bentos! She has a sort of swamp themed bento and I have a boring mommy bento! ;)

Taia has :
-Watermelon with a swamp creature -ish looking snack pick
-A crocodile/alligator cheese creature with an icing eye
-Hot dog slices in a turtle silicone cup with another swamp creature pick
- Pretzel Crisps

I had a:
-Chipolte Gouda and Jalapeno Ham sandwich (Oh ya- it was amazing)
-Pickles and tomatoes
-Watermelon
I thought about cutting mine into fun shapes but thought
the other moms might give me a hard time! ;)

BUNNIES!

Yay! Bunny bentos! I'm ready for Spring AND Easter!

-Bunny PB sandwich with an icing eye and a piece of pink marshmallow for a fluffy tail!
-Carrot chips
-Grapes
-Annie's Bunny Fruit Snacks
-A Bunny Marshmallow

April Showers Bring May Flowers!

Ok, so it's still March and it's more cloudy than rainy.... but it's gloomy so I'm making the most of it! :)
She has:
-Tulip PB sandwich colored with edible markers
-Carrot Chip Baran
-Bunny Marshmallows (I love these little guys!)
-Rice with some sprinkles and an icing flower
-Grapes with a flower pick.

All about Taia!

Here she has her name in lights....errr....sandwich! :) Each letter is a different of her favorite flavors! Peanut butter, Cream Honey, Nutella, and Banana Chocolate Spread! She's going to be thrilled! She also has some carrot chips, grapes and strawberries with animal picks!

Fruity!

We've spent the entire weekend cleaning up the yard and I'm beat!
So here's a simple lunch for tomorrow!

-Carrots (under the strawberries)
-Strawberries
-Grapes
-Chicken Nuggets
-Broccoli
-Princess Yogurt (not pictured-her new obsession)

The yogurt isn't very "bento" but she loves it and it's good for her!
So I'll stick one in her lunch bag for fruit dipping!
