First day of school bento! I didn't have the silicone cups at this time and the kids told me that it didn't look cute like this when they ate them. Ha ha. As you can see, I used cutters for the fruit and cheese. Made hot dog sea creatures and a molded hard boiled egg.
This was actually a lot easier to make than it appears. The pizza "muffins" were just a small piece of pizza dough that I purchased from Publix already made with some toppings and baked. Nori wrapping a few goldfish really elevated the lunch.
As you can see with this lunch, My daughter's lunch, on the left, is much cuter ;) I cooked the hot dogs and ravioli at the same time, took maybe 7 mins. I made the rice balls the day ahead.
Fun with cutters :)
Some of my toys. This photo shows a bunch of the cutters I have purchased.
Molds, containers and food picks! Oh my! I love making onigiri (rice balls). The molds on the top left are for hard boiled eggs.
Nori punches make the onigiri much more fun! I have several now. This was the first one I bought. It is great because one punch gives a bunch of choices. This punch also "catches" the nori, so I punch a full sheet at once and then use it as I need it.
I look forward to getting to know you and learn what brought you here. I hope that you are a bento-nut too.. we'll have some fun. LOL
