Minnie Breakfast for Lunch

2020 has canceled all of my plans. I spent months planning the prefect holiday for my granddaughter. It was going to be her first trip to Disney World. We wanted her to experience ALL that Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom has to offer. Part of my awesomeness as a grandparent was to bring a small luggage filled with items, I planned to surprise her with each day. One thing was a stuffed Minnie Mouse. Which would be presented while she ate breakfast. I could just imagine her little face lighting up. Well, like Pete the Cat did we cry goodness no , we just made a Minnie box instead!

This week bento box was inspire by onecraftything.com sandwich accompanied by blueberry and cherry lunch. This was such a cute idea. The cherries really pop out. I wanted to use this idea to create a breakfast for lunch. This bento included:

Two pancakes cut using a Minnie Mouse cookie cutter with blueberries as background. Turkey and cheese roll on a stick.. Cherry flavor Greek yogurt decorate with candy flowers. Embellished with laminated Minnie Mouse clipart.

Native American Heritage bento box

The bill read in part that “the President has authorized and requested to call upon Federal, State and local Governments, groups and organizations and the people of the United States to observe such month with appropriate programs, ceremonies and activities”.

Kitten and Mitten Lunch

The ancient Japanese tradition of packing lunch in a bento box, a decorative container with small compartments, has now become mainstream. We love bento box lunches because the compartments help control portion sizes and they are great for kids too. However, creating these amazing lunches is not always so easy. I envy the Pinterest lunches with perfectly shaped animal characters and flowers made from meat. These lunches are healthy and beautiful. I consider myself creative and wanted to incorporate some of these bento ideas into my lunches. The first thing you must have as a novice is rice molds and nori cutters. This made things so much easier to create cute animals and facial expression. Putting it all together still was challenging. I never used nori before, but my grandchildren eat it all the time at their home. My bento box comes in already sized compartments and adding lettuce to surround characters was not easy. For this lunch it was easier not to include the lettuce t...

Yup, that means 51 years of singing, dancing, rhyming, and learning ABCs and 123s with Big Bird and the gang.
