Bento of the Week: October 17, 2011

• Homemade Gogurt (In a smart travel tube.  The squeeze tubes come in lots of fun, bright colors!)

• Pretzels & Peanut Butter
• Lassy Mogs (They're a Canadian cookie.  The frog made them.)

Bento of the Week: October 10, 2011

• Teriyaki Chicken Drumstick (I used Jessica Seinfeld's idea and added 1/2 cup pureed carrots to the teriyaki sauce.)
• Fried Rice (This was a batch I made ahead and froze)
• Shelled Edamame (from a bag)
• Pineapple Rings (from a can)

Bento of the Week: October 3, 2011

• Tortilla Chips with Nacho Cheese & Sour Cream (The nacho cheese sauce was too spicy for the kids, so I cut it with some sour cream...)
  
• Chives (Because if the school district can count it as a vegetable, so can I)
• Bouncy Little Cherry Tomatoes (a garden favorite)
  
• Celery (for dipping in the extra nacho cheese sauce)

Bento of the Week: September 26, 2011

• Veggie Frittata (You can put anything in a frittata.  Serve it hot or cold.  They're just like a crustless quiche.  But better.)
• Corn on the Cob (From last night's dinner...)
• One Red Plum
• Homemade Microwave Brownies (They're done in five minutes.  They're chewy, moist, and rich!  I've made a batch a day for the past five days.  Mom jeans, here I come!!)
• Mini M&Ms (In a craft jar.  Oops, I just noticed there are two chocolate items in this week's lunch.  Was that really a mistake?)

Bento of the Week: September 19, 2011

• Crackers, Round and Square
• Colby Cheese (Love that it's two-toned)
• Deli Meat Turkey (I sliced up a pound package for this week's lunches)
• One Red Plum (My new favorite fruit.  I just planted a plum tree!)
• Homemade Granola Squares (Because when you make them yourself, you can make any. shape. you. want.  I chose a 2.5 x 2.5 inch square.  Wild!!!)

Bento of the Week: September 12, 2011

• PB&J Sandwich on White Bread (I hear a diet rich in whole grains makes you a very unpopular lunch maker.  Relax a little!  White bread won't kill ya!)
• Fresh Strawberries (Because they were cheaper than apples this week!  Woo hoo!)
• Homemade Gogurt (Yogurt in a travel tube.  You can take it through airport security, also.)
• Hard Boiled Egg (Yes, it's colored.  No, it's not Easter.  Did you know you can dye eggs year round?  It really works!  Try it!)
