Caroline's First Bento



A fellow Dallas Area Mom has me hooked on the art of a Bento Box for Caroline's lunches this year. So far Caroline loves the shaped food and it's been amazing what she'll eat. She does not eat cucumbers, but the day we brough the new cookie cutters home she ate 1/4 of one of those english cucumbers after I but them into butterflies. It was pretty fun and she is having a blast helping me pick out what fruits and veggies to cut and into what shapes. Here's the first one:

1. Yanilla Yogurt
2. 1/2 boiled egg
3. grape tomatoes
4. Butterfly shaped Chicken Salad Sandwich on Whole Wheat
5. Dark Chocolate Covered Dried Blueberries and Strawberries
6. Black Bean Hummus
7. Carrots, bell pepper, broccoli, butterfly shaped cucumber, star shaped radishes
8. cantaloupe, strawberry, blueberries, and 4 raspberries
