No Easter bento today! Guess I got all Eastered out. Instead, I made a cucumber cream cheese sandwich and some Nutella style sandwiches (but with Trader Joe's cocoa almond spread), and fruit. I think we are getting tired of the PB&J and tuna already, so I've been trying to switch it up a little (yesterday I did hummus/avocado, which was well received). There's tortilla chips under the sandwich (for a little crunch), and our usual variety of fruit. It wasn't super cute after I'd put everything in, so I dressed it up with a fruit roll up heart, and I used my silicone leaf dividers in between the chocolate sandwiches for a little color. I also tried to arrange the pineapple/oranges in a cute way...
Then I decided to put in the fruit picks, and you can see how easy it is to just make the lunch a little more special!
If you're intimidated by bento, don't be! It's so easy. Today's sandwiches are just cut into rectangles. It's the arrangement and the added decorations (silicone dividers/animal picks) that make it cute. It's fun, and everyone deserves a lunch that makes you smile.
REVIEW: the chocolate sandwiches only got an "ok." Mike really hates almonds, so I guess that must be it. Fruit got all eaten, as well as the cucumber sandwich, but the tortilla chips got stale really quick. It's hard to keep crispy things crispy in a bento!
