(# 264) Smoked salmon sandwich heart bento

Still trying to make heart theme bento this month :P
I only prepared one bento and this is only for big son! my 2nd son doesn't like sandwich, the only sandwich he can have is PB&J, I am not sure if I should be happy or sad about it, ya'll know it could be a hassle sometimes.

Anyway, I did not do much to this bento, I just put some flowered carrot on top of it, snug some purple carrot and yellow sweet pepper on the sides. I also wrapped the sandwiches into single serves so it wont be messy when he eat it.


Okay, I don't know if this would be too cheese for him but I knotted the box with those red heart ribbons ... LOL ...

(# 263) Aburage rice heart bento

It's February already!! time really do fly!

For tomorrow's bento I am trying to start with tomato hearts bento, inspired by my bento pals Maki Ogawa, her creativity is beyond belief!! seriously!!
My tomato heart version ain't even close to hers, hers are so perfectly shaped. I'll try this trick again in the near future, see id I can keep up with the theme.


Back to the bento, I actually will pack them some meatballs soup, I did not include the soup to the picture, I'll pack it tomorrow morning so it will stay warm once the boys having lunch. You all know I pack bento at night most of the time, I do that for a very obvious reason, to avoid morning chaos with 3 boys! ...LOL

Anyway, inside the box are some cauliflower (I separated from the soup), aburage stuffed with seasoned rice, navel orange and heart tomatoes.

Enjoy!

(# 259) Chicken Potstickers Snowflakes Bento

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you are all had a great holidays!
Yesterday we had a little tease of snows, big flakes and last quite sometimes but they melted right away,  what a tease for we haven't got any snow this winter.
This is my first bento this year, but I wasn't pay attention when I edited the pictures so it still has 2012 on the watermark ... and I am too lazy to fix it, I am now having Garfield eyes and just can't stay on the computer for too long.

Today's bento featuring some chicken potstickers and Vietnamese rolls with some snowflakes decorations, big boy loves it! but B isn't too crazy about the Vietnamese rolls, anyway here are the pictures :


I made the snowflakes using snowflakes cookie cutters I got from amazon, originally designed for fondant cake decoration, but hey it works for bento too, matter of fact I am using tortilla for the snows, because I am out of white cheese, came out perfect! and I am happy.
Along with potstickers there are also some romanesco, I was so excited when I spotted this at my local grocery store, grabbed 2 heads and pay almost 7 dollars ... I think it's overpriced but no surprised at all for this is such a rare items. I should try to grow some for next summer.


Inside the Vietnamese rolls are some cilantro, julienne carrots and jicama, thin sliced cucumbers, egg omelet, and rice noodles. I omitted the mint and thai basil because my boys do not like it, they are fine with cilantro though.
Happy Wednesday everyone!!
