(#209) Simple Sandwiches Bento

Another simple bento post for tomorrow :P
We went out for dinner, hubby wants some Pho Vietnamese noodle, so there's no leftovers to be packed :)

This one is for big son, he loves turkey sandwich (he actually loves any kind of sandwiches) so easy and I love it!!
Along with the sandwich I packed some pears, medley grape tomatoes, grapes and mini sweet bell pepper.
I ended up taking the pear out and packed it separately with some more grapes, the sandwiches were too big and I do not want to squeeze it.

This one is for B ^__^ he is the picky one!! and sandwich is just not his thing :( so I made cream cheese with black berry jam, topped with butterfly carrots. There are also some pears, medley grape tomatoes, mini sweet bell peppers and celery.

(#208) Squirrel mac and cheese bento

Hello my bento pals, I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.

Our weekend was so crazy and scary. It was the scariest episode of my life!!! but Thanks God everything is okay.
We started our Saturday morning being lazy and just relaxing, everybody were in my bed teasing baby Gavin, he's so cute giggling and laughing with his brothers.
Then I decided to get up and made some crepes for breakfast, hubby followed me and went out side to feed the chickens.
But not long after that he returned inside holding his chest and complaining his heart wouldn't stop beating so fast, he's in so much pain, his face was so pale and I was so panic. I told him I'd take him to ER, but then he shouted "Call 911"

I grabbed the phone and dialed 911 right away, told the dispatcher everything and she said help is on the way. It was the longest 5 minutes in my life!!
Soon after the paramedic came I feel a little better knowing that hubby will be alright, he was very alert and responsive. They then took him to ER.
Everything happened so fast, and I feel so scary, so confused and somewhat still panic. Never in a million years that I dreamed to experience calling 911.

I then called my close friends and arranged the baby sitter for the boys, so I can followed him to the hospital.
We arrived at the hospital by noon and directly went to his room, he's very alert and smiling at me and he said Dr. should be here soon to explain everything.
And I feel so much better to hear that it was not a heart attack!! he experienced irregular heart rhythm and should check it with specialist or cardiologist for further diagnose.... *pheeeww*
Can't describe how happy I was knowing hubby is alright. We'll make sure he's seeing the recommended specialist. And I hope this would never ever ever happened again.

Anyway, back to bento business. I prepared some mac and cheese for the boys, along with it are some chicken wings, parmesan cauliflower and romanesco with garlic, herb and EVOO. For fillers I put some sweet mini bell peppers and pear tomato. Fruit and snack are packed separately (not pictured)

I topped the mac and cheese with carrot squirrels and acorn food picks, I hope it looks like spring :P I can't wait for spring even though it is not here yet, matter of fact it's snowing today!! what a crazy weather.
Here's another picture :

(#207) Sandwiches bento

Today the boys are going to Mt. Baker Theater to watch the show and the teacher suggested to pack some simple lunches, and here there are :

I have been having this cute basket box for a long while, but always been doubt to use it until today :P

I prepared some turkey sandwich for big son in multi-grains bread, complete with some lettuce tomato and Swiss cheese. Fruits are packed separately.

Here's another simple sandwich bento for B :

Cute little bear, heart and rabbit honey sandwiches, steam broccoli, pear tomatoes, apple and blood orange. 

(#206) Fried rice heart bento

Tomorrow's bento featuring two loving ducks.
I carved the tomato since my mini heart cookie cutter is no where to be found :( but I think I did good job :P

It's been a long while since I used this bento box last, I actually was re-arranging my bento boxes collection and I did not even remember I have these boxes.
So, inside the lower compartment are some breaded shrimps, sweet corn topped with heart shaped tomato with an arrow pick, and some fruits (same as yesterday) kiwi, blood orange and cherry.
In another box are some fried rice topped with two lil loving ducks. I use some radish for the ducks so it won't be melted like cheese.

(#205) Mac and cheese cloud and rains bento

I did not actually planned to make bento for tomorrow's, I thought I can just pack them some bagels and cream cheese in the morning.
But during dinner B was complaining about his loosing tooth ... when I checked it's not really hanging by a thread but I know for sure he wouldn't be able to eat bagels.

So then I decided to I cook some mac and cheese, I thought that would be easy for him to chew. Thank's good I just stocked up some organic shells and white cheddar cheese from Trader Joe's.
So here there are :

I made some clouds from Swiss cheese and regular American cheese with some nori for facial details, the rain drops are made out of carrots so the color can be pop out.
On the next compartment are some variety of fresh fruits : kiwi, blood orange and cherry. There are also some steamed broccoli, carrot and pear tomato.

Mac and cheese is one of the dishes that my boys love to eat even in the room temperature.

(#204) Butterfly bento

I finally am using the hand-made picks I made the other day for my boys bento for tomorrow ^__^ and I am pretty happy with the result, here there are :

Inside the box are some fried potato dough or we call it perkedel kentang, steam rice topped with some butterfly carrots, and on the next compartment are steam broccoli, hard-boiled egg, and next to it are some kiwi and blue berries.

I think this bento is so effortless but still cute (I hope it's not too girly for them :P), all thanks to the cute hand-made picks ^__^, if you want to know how to make it you can check at my previous post HERE
Have a great evening y'all ^__^
