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 ...
Nacho Cheese Bento Box
It's Friday! Today is a lazy day at camp for Peyton. They spend the day swimming and playing all day. They even have the ice cream truck come by! So, I thought I would make her lunch extra special today. I decided to make it with nachos and cheese! This was really easy, all I did was put some round tortilla chips in the bottom and covered it with shredded nacho cheese. I knew it would be a hit because Peyton loves cheese. We still had some blueberries and blackberries in the fridge so that ...
Butterfly Cheese and Crackers Bento Box
There are more than sandwiches you can use to make a lunch. Sometimes I forget about that and get into a sandwich rut. So today I took thick slices of Colby Jack cheese and used mini butterfly cookies cutters to turn them into butterflies! I used about 4 slices of thick sliced cheese to make 8 butterflies. I figured that was enough for lunch. Then I used a few Ritz crackers and tossed in a handful of pepperoni sticks. (I buy the pepperoni sticks at Target in the snack aisle.) Next up was the ...
