In case I haven't mentioned it, I really hate wasting food. Bentos are kind of a perfect way to use out leftover bits & pieces of other meals, so a lot of times, I'm using dinner leftovers to make other items.
That said, we had a few slices of mini pizzas leftover. While mini pizzas are ideal lunch food, they aren't exactly visually thrilling. I had to fix that.
Mr. Ben has his mini pizza slices, but topped with a cheddar bunny! The bunny is much cuter than the plain pizza and has a white cheddar nose and sugar eyes. He's surrounded by a number of sliced grapes and a mini muffin that I think is chocolate chip. The side containers hold watermelon (from my garden), carrot & celery sticks and a few more sliced grapes. The slices make the grapes look a little more plentiful--at my count, there are only 9 whole grapes in the box.

LOL we're doing pizza too today, and your bunny is super cute!
ReplyDeleteI wish my daughter ate cheese... if I make cute things she just leaves them in the box. lunchmeat only goes so far.
ReplyDeleteFix it you did! Bunny is so cute, perfectly done!
ReplyDeleteI love pizza bento! Cutie bunny!
ReplyDeleteOoo! I just discovered your blog (thanks to SITS) and this post inspired my son to request more a more creative effort on my part. =)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, SO cute! That cheddar bunny is SO FREAKIN' CUTE I just can't take it! Love your awesome, colorful blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I'm a little obsessed with the cheese critters--minimal work for a really cute effect!
ReplyDeletewhat a cute bunny and I agree, I'm into the cheese critter thing myself. I did bunnies too today because I didnt have the time to shape a sandwich and go all out. Besides, the cheese characters are just as cute! I'm curious, what bento box do you use? I'm looking to buy one with compartments but aside from the green leaf tight one, I can't find any! At least in pink or other girly color.
ReplyDeleteStopped by from SITS! I love making Bento lunches for my kids. The Bento supplies are pretty low on the ground around here though. Love your Pizza Bunny!
