Halloween Line Up

Over Halloween, which is my favorite holiday and time of year, I did a few different Bento lunches for my daughter. I figured I'd just include them all in one long post, so I apologize in advance. Again, this is before I had any fun cutters or picks, so hopefully they will become more ambitious and exciting come next Halloween. But, I found some great ideas that I took a crack at anyways. Enjoy!

Ramen noodles, red bell peppers, melted American cheese on toast, mandarin oranges, Granny Smith apple fangs, Trader Joe's veggie straws, and a mini 3 Musketeers.

Spanish rice, deviled egg, orange bell peppers, cucumbers, black olives, bone shaped graham crackers, gummy worms, and a skull sugar candy.

Tomato pasta stars, ghost toast with melted provolone cheese, Club cracker tombstones, green beans, salami, orange Jello moon, and a couple of candy corns.

Pumpkin shaped grilled cheese with bean accents and sauerkraut, cucumber, orange bell pepper, potato chips, and a skull sugar candy.

Cheese ravioli in tomato sauce, a mix of corn, peas, and carrots, American cheese accents, Trader Joe's veggie straws, banana ghosts w/ sprinkles, green grapes, and a skull sugar candy.

Mediterranean Inspired

We frequent a fantastic deli at Yasmeen's, so I decided to incorporate some of the goodies into a Bento for our daughter. Turned out beautiful and delicious!

 

Hummus, cucumbers, sharp cheddar cheese, tabbouleh, felafel, picked radish, and homemade pita chips.

Out to Sea

I think anyone's that has looked up Bento style meals in books or online has come across the Octo-dog, so we gave it a try too! What fun!

 

Colby-Jack cheese, a deviled egg with yellow bell pepper sail, dill pickle, half of a turkey hotdog made into an octopus w/ mustard accents, strawberries, and Goldfish crackers.
