Since it's his last day, he needed a really cute bento. I love that his student teachers are intrigued with them too, so I hate to disappoint. I boiled eggs last night, so we opted for an "under the sea" theme today!
Ben has a hard-boiled egg, shaped like a fish. Said fishie is sitting in a sea of pasta salad (yes, I dyed the pasta blue). There are peas, a sprinkle of cheese and a bit of ranch dressing in the salad, and star fish carrots to make it cuter!
I was about to make cookies too, but the recipe requires the dough to chill and I don't have enough time to do both. Cookie post later today!

How did you dye the pasta? Please do tell. It's an awesome trick!
that is cute enough that I might even attempt to do the eggs! And I would love to know how you dye the pasta also, That's a great idea!
Do you have a really tiny cookie cutter for the carrots, or do you cut those by hand?
Sure!
Pasta, I dropped about 4 drops of food coloring into the water while it was boiling, before I added the pasta, then just cooked as normal.
The teeny stars are "Wilton Fondant Cutters", about $3 at a craft store and so worth it! I bought flowers & stars, I may need a few more. ;o)
WOW that is wicked awesome, love the colored pasta it just ties it all together perfectly. :)
That is too stinkin' cute! I'm curious, how do you organize all of your cutters and Bento accessories?
That is absolutely adorable...awesome idea!
Love it!! That was totally awesome!! I think this was the inspiration I needed to try pasta in my girls lunch! I still dont think the boiled eggs will fly with her though :(.
Loving the fishy egg. He looks like he wants to eat the pasta. Hope Ben shared with him ;)
really cute!!!
Lovely, what a great idea to place the egg fish on blue pasta! :)
