Tuesday, Sydney has shrimp and corn fried rice, steamed vegetables and strawberries for lunch. You can see I do not have enough food to make a nicer bento. I am still working on refilling up my refrigerator.
Wednesday's bento is Penne with meat ball. I was trying to decorate the meat ball to Elmo, but looks like I did not do a very good job. For some reasons, I think I am still in the "Vacation Mode". Sydney also has some steamed vegetables, strawberries and blue berries.
I made Chicken Terriyaki on Wednesday night. Sydney asked me if she can have it for Thursday lunch. Between the "Teddy Bear" rice ball, there is bean sprout which is Sydney's favorite. Sydney also has kiwi and blue berries for fruit.
On Friday, Sydney told me that she wanted a "big girl" bento for her lunch. I asked her what is a "big girl" bento? She told me that she preferred has no decoration, no furikake, she wanted a simple bento. Ok, did I do a bad job this week??? So I made a very simple lunch box for Sydney today. Curry Chicken with rice, baked pita chips and some fruit.
you have some very cute meals! How did you get started with Bento? I want to start with my 2 year old in hopes that she'll been more inspired to eat, but I have no clue what to get. So please any help would be appreciated!
ReplyDeleteI will recommed you to buy two books 1."Yum Yum Bento Box" by Crystal Watanabe and Maki Ogawa, 2."Kawaii Bento Boxes" I found a lot of good ideas from these books. If you want to spend some money on bento accessories, you can find a lot of cute and resonable price items on www.allthingsforsale.com and www.fitjpstore.com.
