Teddy Bear Bento


I always make my granddaughter a special lunch. Every now a then her toddler brother gets to enjoy one too. Today I decided to make something he would ordinarily get for breakfast extraordinary. Needless to say, this breakfast was a lot easier than my lunches. My grandson is a sweet teddy bear, so today’s breakfast had to be themed after him. I used molds to shape cooked oatmeal into bear face. The body was formed using one slice of French toast stick. I made a one egg heart shaped cheese omelet.  I slice two sausages vertically and stuck them together to create a heart shape. Afterward I sliced a half banana into embellishments for the bear, a moon, circles, and flowers. Serve it warm.

Ingredients:

Instant oatmeal, beef sausages, one egg, slice of cheese, one banana, toothpicks eyes, and French toast sticks.

 Directions:

1. Cook oatmeal as directed. Use a bear shape mold or circle mold to create bear facial shape.

2. Warm on froze French toast stick and divide it in two.

3. cook sausage and  slice two sausages vertically. Use a toothpick to stick two halves together to create a heart shape. 

4. Use flower shape cookie cutter and cheese to create decorative flowers.

5. Cut banana in half and cut the half into slices. Place some banana slice on plate and use flower shape cookie cutter to make some banana shape flowers.  Also, cut three banana slice in half to create a moon, shoes for the bear, arms, mouth and ears.

6. Cook a cheese omelet by cracking one egg. Season with salt and pepper and stir. pour into a nonstick pan. Cook on medium heat. When egg appears almost done, place slice of cheese on top and fold one side of the egg over the cheese. Add to plate.

Bush  declared the month of November as  National American Indian Heritage Month , thereafter commonly referred to as  Native American Heritage Month . 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”.  As a teacher I make a point to introduce students to the true heritage of America. We are fortunate to live in a country where many cultures are celebrated (Wikipedia). This Bento box Was inspired by Eclectic Lamb. I researched online to find markings Native American markings and used it to write on sugar cookies. For the Wampum belt, My granddaughter does not like beans, do I tried to place as little as possible. Sides included in this lunch was Poppable chips Embellished wi...

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...
