Winter Wonderland

Here are a few more wintery Bentos I did. Since it has hardly been a real winter this year, I figured I'd better get them in while they were still appropriate.

Red and green bell pepper, buttered sourdough toast, salami, provolone, roasted cashews, strawberry fruit leather, mini marshmallows, and a shortbread cookie.

Homemade butter croutons, yellow and white American cheese, red bell pepper, cucumber, salami, ranch in the container, and a North Pole marshmallow (no pun intended).

Ramen noodles, with snowflake shaped fried egg and provolone cheese, some red bell peppers, more provolone 'snow' and letters, and in the closed container under the letters, there is some applesauce.

Christmas Cookie Cutouts

I love baking, so making Christmas cookies, while it can be tedious, is a natural extension of what I do. Here are a couple batches we did this year. I do a few other cookies as well, but these butter cookie cutouts are always the artsy fun ones!

 

Beary Special

I discovered AllThingsForSale.com and placed my first order. This is the first Bento in which I got to utilize some of the fun things I purchased, which would be a bear mold, sauce container set, and animal pick set. Beary cute!

Homemade tuna pasta salad, mini bear grilled cheese sandwiches, yellow bell pepper with ranch (in the sauce container), and trail mix with mini marshmallows, raisins, pecans, and teddy graham crackers.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas..

This post has a few of the first Christmas/winter themed Bentos I've done. Such fun to use my cookie cutters in a new and exciting way!

Red and green bell pepper, Colby-Jack cheese, provolone snowman w/ mini chocolate chip accents, homemade English muffin croutons, and vanilla pudding with mini m&m's, or as my daughter calls them, M-O-Ms.

Vegetable bean soup w/ Parmesan 'snow', mozzarella, cucumber, red, green, and yellow bell pepper, potato chips, and a mini candy cane, which turns out to be the candy of choice for our little one.

Snowflake toasts w/ mayonnaise, provolone, and pepper, salami, roasted cashews, cucumbers, red bell pepper, salami, grapes, marshmallow twist, and some more provolone 'snow' for good measure!
