Star Wars Bento

I spent endless days during quarantine watching Star Wars movies with my family. It’s nice to see how much my grandchildren embrace one of my favorite movies. After watching The Mandalorian My granddaughter has become a real fan girl. It’s all about the baby Yoda. It was important to me that this lunch represented for all the true fans.


Included in this lunch:


❤️ Sandwich- Star Wars cookie press was used to create a raspberry preserves with cream cheese sandwich.


❤️ Slice cucumber 


❤️ Baby Yoda-  A baby Yoda shape cookie cutter was dipped in green food coloring and pressed into two Babybel.


❤️ Sliced strawberries 


❤️ BB-8- a small cookie cutter was used to cut out two apple circles and and decorate it with cheddar cheese. 


❤️ Lightsaber- One green fruit rollup fold it around a lollipop stick. 

 

❤️ Embellishment- Prints clips that were covered in packing tape back and front. The shakes her cut out and used to decorate lunchbox. This method makes the images waterproof and it’s cheaper than using my laminator.

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 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.
