Baby Bento Box

Both boys are in school now, so I am making two lunches twice a week.  James is a creature of habit and is also really picky, and his all-time favorite meal is a flour tortilla, spread with peanut butter and honey, folded, and cut in half.  Rhys, on the other hand, is my little risk-taker, and I’m having fun packing different types of foods for his lunch.

Lately, I’ve been trying my hand at very simple boxed meals, sort of inspired by Bento boxes.  I know these are hugely popular on Pinterest and mommy blogs, and my little box looks nothing like those.  Still, they are easy to make and Rhys thinks they are fun, so it’s a hit, in my book.

I’m trying to vary the ingredients a little each time, and this one contains grapes, carrots, Wheat Thins, a few Nilla Wafers, and what we call “Birthday Candles,” which are layered turkey and cheese on a pretzel skewer.  Little kids love finger foods, and these are simple and fun to make.  My only problem is keeping everything in place once it goes into the lunchbox.

And also, it is truly bizarre that I have blogged about food twice in one week.

Seriously, it might snow or something.
