A bento

OMG! A bento?

Yep… a bento!

I made sticky chicken for dinner, and The Boy asked for some for lunch. Sheesh, it’s the first non-PBJ I’ve done in ages, so I *had* to capture it.

Thanks, Easter Bunny. Bok bok!

I love that old commercial. :)

But now I love the Easter Bunny for more than just the candy — now I can thank him for the great bento stuff too!

Just walk down any Tarzhay aisle this season and you can find tons of great stuff to spice up your bento box.

Bento idea!

In my attempt to avoid the snow that’s coming down fast and deep outside, I’ve been sitting in my office, playing away on the intertubes. Which is how I stumbled across this idea.

They’re, obviously, Pop Tarts from Kellogg’s that are cut with greased cookie cutters — but wouldn’t they work well in a bento?! (You can see the official Kellogg’s “recipe” for how to do it HERE)

A quick bento

So, I’m running very late for work after a night of interrupted sleep (ever have a husband roll to your side of the bed and start snoring loudly in your ear? Lemme tell ya, it’s IMPOSSIBLE to get to sleep after that.) I ended up on the couch, catching up with Cranford on Masterpiece Theatre.

Then it was up to make GF pancakes for breakfast and I managed to pack a lightening quick bento before going back to bed for a few hours.

These days, it’s pretty much this bento or one with a PB&J sandwich on GF bread. He’s not been interested in much else. *sigh*
