Bento at Breakfast

Even Bento kits can come in handy at breakfast time. The nights I wasn’t feeling too well, I would pack the Bento kits with my kids favorite cereal for the next day. The kids thought it was a special treat to use Bento Kits at breakfast time, and it was big a time saver for me.

A Favorite Lunch

Super-Star Grilled Cheese

 

Last week (due to a cold) I kept lunches very simple. One of Thade’s favorites was  Super-Star Grilled Cheese in his Bento. He loves any shaped sandwiches, and he gobbled up his entire lunch! It is a little step, but it makes lunch fun for him 🙂

 

 

Bento for the New Year

In celebration of Chinese New Year, I made a special dinner tonight 🙂 We had Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry with Jasmine Rice, Long Noodles, and Fresh Oranges. It was pretty tasty. I served Thade’s portion Bento Style, and he actually tried everything (a first). He liked the noodles the best, but he wasn’t a fan of the Beef and Broccoli Stir-fry, oh well.  Happy Chinese New Year to all 🙂

Bento Times Two

On Thade’s actual birthday I made his very favorite meal for dinner: Chicken Fajitas, Bean & Cheese Burritos, Spanish Rice, Bean Dip, Cheese Dip, Tortilla Chips and Salsa. I served his meal Bento style, and he ate every single bite. I have been so pleased with his new found good eating habits, that I’m going to be on the lookout for more Bento kits 🙂
