(#185) Stir fry rice noodle stars bento

Yesterday evening we were attending a barn dance hosted by school, it was my first time attending such thing and I am tellin ya I'd definitely come again if there's one coming up in the future :P it was hella FUN.
D&B's performance were phenomenal ^__^ too bad there was lack of lights so the pictures did not came out good. And we had to leave early since lil G was so fussy and ready for nite nite.

On the way home we saw the most beautiful moon I've ever seen, it wasn't full or anything but amazingly close, it was like in front of you!!! and the stars oh my gosh!! so beautiful!!! all the time we were like starring at the sky till we got home. What a night!!

So today I prepared a full of twinkling stars bento for big son. I only made one bento since B requested to bring some leftovers spaghetti dinner, so I packed him spaghetti in a thermal bento and did not take any picture.

Inside the box are fried rice noodle with vegetables.
Next to it are sweet corn topped with carrot and cucumber star in the middle which I find out to be a bad choice, the cucumber part is so pale and did not turned out good on the picture :(
There are also some cucumbers, carrots, and honey smoked turkey and sliced of kiwi in a star silicone cup.
Everything fit in lunchbots duo!!

(#184) Yellow rice bees bento

Thank LORD for the SUN today! even though it was not last all day long but it really made my day.
Together with the boys we picked up some apples at the back yard, we had a good time and saw some bees buzzing around some rotten apples on the ground. And I was thinking to make bees bento for tomorrow. So here they are, I hope it ain't too girly for my boys :P .... buzz buzz...

Inside the box : some yellow fried rice in a bee cup, steamed broccoli and carrots, sliced omelet topped with flowered carrots, and last but not least is sliced orange.
I also packed some more fruit for snack (not pictured)

Have a blessed weekend y'all ^__^

(#183) Mac and cheese autumn bento

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." ~ Albert Camus ~

Nothing's fancy for tomorrow's bento :P It's just mac and cheese mixed with some carrots and peas topped with some leaves shaped carrots presenting autumn.

The rests are strawberry, carrot, mixed mini heirloom tomatoes and cucumbers. I also prepared some apple slices sprinkled with cinnamon (not pictured)

Have a great Monday evening y'all ^__^

(#182) Tortilla rolls with humus and veggies

Tomorrow's bento features some spinach and garden tortilla filled with humus, cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce. I hope my boys will eat it!

There are also some orange slices, yellow carrots, mixed heirloom tomatoes and dried apricots.

I also put a jack-o-lantern made out of carrot and Halloween pics just for fun. 

(#181) Bagels and cream cheese

I don't really feel like spending too much time in the kitchen this evening, so for tomorrow's bento I packed the same menu as yesterday. Tuna sandwich for big son and bagels with cream cheese for B.
I did not even bother to take any pictures of the tuna sandwich bento, I actually did not plan to post anything this evening. I guess I am having one of those "do not want to do anything" days ... LOL

However, when I was done preparing bagels with cream cheese for B, I was so lost and do not know what box to be used. I keep digging up my bento boxes collection and found none that is big enough to hold 3 pieces of mini bagels. YES y'all heard it right! 3 pieces!!! He specifically requested me to pack him 3 pieces. Yesterday I was reluctantly packed him 2 pieces, I thought he wont eat em all. I know he loves bagels so much!!

Anyway back to the bento boxes, I then realized I've been having this boxes for a long time (I bought 2 sets), but never had a chance to use it. When I first got it I thought it was way too big.
And I said okay ... I finally got to use this box, and that's why I decided to take some pictures even though it's nothing special inside. I thought it's always good to share it with some of you who might own this kind of box and never got to use it!.
I asked B to practice opening and closing the box so tomorrow he can do it with no problems.

So I put the bagels on the lower bowl.
On the top compartment I arranged some dried apricots, cucumbers, mandarin orange, mixed heirloom tomatoes, and apple slices sprinkled with cinnamon.

What's cool about this box is everything can be packed in one box, no need to pack extra snack box and no lunch bag is necessary. And lets be honest about its design ... so sleek and cool!! don't you think?
I think B is gonna love it!!

And uh!! I'd love to remind all of you my bento pals about Halloween bento set giveaway from ALLTHINGSFORSALE.COM.

(#180) Sandwiches Clown Bento

Up for tomorrow's bento I prepared some simple sandwiches. Tuna sandwich for big son and bagels with cream cheese for B (Am I save to say that bagels are also sandwich?? I hope so!).

I made tuna sandwich with some whole wheat thin sandwich bread, and since its round shape make it perfect for a clown face. I put a cherry tomato for its nose, and carrots and nori for other facial part.
Next to the sandwich are some fresh grapes, tiny pear tomato, yellow carrots and some cucumber. I also packed some thinly slices apple sprinkled with cinnamon for snack (not pictured).

As for B, I prepared some mini whole wheat bagels with cream cheese. I used a black grapes for the nose but the rest of its facial details made out of carrots and nori.
The rest are pretty much same except for some oranges.
