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.

Mermaid Lunch

Online schooling has presented challenges that our family had to make adjustment to accommodate the needs of our kids.  Sometime kids can be overlooked when it comes to how Covid and quarantine has place stress on them. I like to infuse each day with special moments. This is the beauty of making bento lunch. They give parent a chance to make their child smile. I like to incorporate the kids interest in my lunches. In my lunches I like to include cliparts for two reasons. The first reason is it would be time consuming to try and create these details with food. The second is I look at this like creating art using to mediums. Adding clip art details add a host of possibility when making creative lunches. This lunch was totally dedicated to my granddaughter. She is all about unicorns, princess and mermaids. She loves ramen noodles, so while noodles cooked I added a drop of blue food coloring to the water. It created a much darker color than I originally expected. The noodles gave the p...

Hello Kitty Lunch

Over the weekend my granddaughter was so hurt that her aunt bought a Hello Kitty pencil for herself and unicorn pencil for her. She pouted, “ but I Love Hello Kitty too.” We had to talk to her about what it means to have gratitude. These are hard, but needed lessons.   Gratitude, thankfulness, or gratefulness, from the Latin word gratus ‘pleasing, thankful’, is a feeling of appreciation felt by and/or similar positive response shown by the recipient of kindness, gifts, help, favors, or other types of generosity, towards the giver of such gifts. I love my grandchildren and want to give them everything, but without nurturing gratitude they will end up spoiled and ungrateful. As a parent (and grandparent) teaching our children to be have gratitude is actually molding them into kind human beings.  I ncluded in lunch: 🥪 kitten - raspberry jam sandwich 🥮 heart shape pound cake 🥣 strawberry yogurt 🥒 cut cucumbers 🧆 Snack: yogurt cover raisins  S trawberries Direct...

My Little Pony Lunch

I learned a long time ago that the best way to serve lunch to my picky child is to make it into something fun. She is all about My Little Pony this year. I wanted to style the food to look adorable with flowers, shapes, and even vibrant colors. While I admit that I’m a sucker for these sweetly styled meals, I don’t have nearly the amount of time or patience it takes to create such detailed works of food art. However, I have mastered the art of creating deceptively simple bento lunches that look like they took a long time to create. To do this, I tend to use laminated cliparts. By doing this you’re able to add the little details without sacrificing time. I know this might feel like cheating, and I should have taken the time to make the eyes out of bread or nori. However, with only ten minutes to spare this works for me.   My grandkids love that I made them something special (that they can show off to their friends at lunchtime!), and I love that they’re guaranteed to eat their h...
