Yes, I must confess I went out and bought a new Bentgo Box. It was too hard only having one Bentgo box in the house. And sometimes Peyton has been known to forget her lunch box at school. So I bought a second one in blue. However, I will be buying a green one and a few extra inserts before school starts. I just love the shape of this lunch box! It's the perfect size for little kids. And it helps keep me from tossing a ton of junk food in a bag and sending her off to school. Today, Peyton is ...
Bento Box Lunches
Scared Kitty Bento Box
I've been making Peyton's lunches for a few months now and I must admit I'm still having a blast doing it! Even though she has been requesting lots of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches I keep her box fresh and fun with new and interesting sandwiches thanks to my extensive collection of cookies cutters!I haven't used our Halloween cookie cutters since last Halloween. But I came across them while I was cleaning up our baking area. How fun is a sandwich in the shape of a cat? My one complaint ...
Pizza Circle Bento Box
There is only so much you can do with a Bento Box when your kid is fixated on sandwiches. But, last night we had Schwan's Four Cheese Pizza. It is by far the best cheese pizza I have found. Well, we had almost half a pizza left over so this morning I decided to use it in Peyton's Bentgo box. I was not sure how well this was going to go over with Peyt. She is on a PB&J kick lately. So as Peyton was munching on her cereal I started to cut the pizza into little circles. Out of the corner of ...
Penguin Sandwich Bento Box
Ever since I took Peyton to Sea World a few years ago she has been obsessed with Penguins. The Penguin exhibit at Sea World is extraordinary and we both instantly fell in love with these adorable little guys. Today, I took a Penguin sandwich cutter and turned Peyton's borging Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich into Penguin Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches! With the sandwich cutter I used I could get 2 penguins out of a regular sandwich.I was trying to make this bento box colorful so I opted to ...
Cheese Hearts and Turkey Bites Bento Box
Peyton is really into finger foods lately. And she's always been a fan of cheese. I'm not sure if it's because I ate a ton of Colby Jack cheese, pepperoni and crackers when I was pregnant or if it's a coincidence? Well, today I indulged her taste buds and made her Colby Jack Cheese, Turkey bites and Ritz crackers.Having boring slabs or chunks of Colby Jack cheese in the lunch box is boring! So, I decided to take out my mini cookie cutters and turn those cheese slabs into hearts. I do take short ...
Dolphin Sandwich Bento Box
There used to be a time when I couldn't convince Peyton to eat peanut butter to save my life. Then sometime this spring she decided she loved peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. So this summer she has been begging me to make them for her nearly every day. So today I gave in, again, and made her peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in dolphin shapes with one little heart sandwich too. When we had gone grocery shopping this weekend Peyton picked out some peaches for lunch. So today I cut them up ...
