Super Salad Bento Lunch

It's been awhile since we've had a good salad lunch and the girl was requesting one.

I generally have salad fixings, but I seemed to be lacking protein choices.  Since we had everything in the house, she had to have a yummy lunch salad.

Quick & Easy Ham Salad Bento Lunch

Finally back after our holiday break, and very happy that I did take some photos of lunches before the holidays.

Our schedule has been a bit odd lately and lunches have fallen to the wayside.  Don't worry, everyone is still eating! They're just old enough to get their own food.

Fun Little Elephant Bento Lunch

It's been awhile since we had a "Peanut" lunch, with Peanut being what the boy called all elephants when he was a toddler.  But there's always time for a quick elephant lunch.

It's cute, it's simple, and what isn't there to love about elephants?

Thanksgiving Turkey Bento Lunches

There's still time to make a cute turkey lunch before Thanksgiving!

Unlike some of our creations, this one doesn't require special cookie cutters or a whole lot of skill--just a knife or kitchen scissors and a sandwich!   And maybe some candy eyeballs.

Simple Egg Salad Bento Lunch

We've had some simpler lunches again the last few weeks.

The husband was away on a training mission for a month, so there was a lot of streamlining the process with there only being one driver at home.  Lunch was made extra simple too!

Simple Name Sandwich Bento Lunch

Feeding a starving, now-teen, boy means that I need to pack the most amount of food, which leaves a lot of less room for cute.

Occasionally, I do a few little things to amuse myself, like labeling his lunch.

Kebab Sandwiches Bento Lunch

This lunch was actually a purposeful pick from my oldest.

Her friends, especially the guys, are quite amused by all her teeny tiny foods, so I told her we could make mini sandwich kebabs.  This actually is a full sandwich worth of food, but it seems minuscule when you lay it out this way.
