The Long Awaited Bento

Finally after months of moving, unpacking etc. etc. I made bento for my daughter! She was thrilled to say the least. It was her last full day of kindergarten today because tomorrow is early dismissal so I wanted to make sure she had one last bento for the school year. It is not spectacular by any means but with all my bento supplies being EXTREMELY unorganized I think I did ok;)
It is some leftover honey barbecue grilled chicken that I removed from the bone, fresh raw carrots, sliced fresh strawberries and bananas with a little cup of Wild Harvest organic berry granola for a little sweet treat! This granola blend is fabulous! I just love it and it has all natural organic ingredients. It is also very yummy in vanilla yogurt!

AnPan Man and Flowers

Today I made AnPan Man for my son. This is a very popular cartoon character here in Japan and my son loves him! I used my new circle rice mold and added sliced carrots and nori to make the face. Also there is turkey dog flowers and apples!
My daughter has turkey dog flowers, green beans, apples and rice with shaped carrots to resemble a flower!

A Little Girl For My Little Girl Bento:)

I took a little extra time and made my daughter a cute "charaben" bento today. A little girl made of ham and cheese on top of a ham and cream cheese sandwich on wheat bread. Along side the sandwich is edamame, sliced persimmon and flower apples!
