Drum Roll Please ... TA -Da! My Very First Bento!

So what do you think cute? nutritious?  good enough for a picky little to eat? Since this was my first bento I took it a little slow. In David's Box  ... (Gabriel  is at school and will not need one)

half of a banana
chopped up turkey hot dog
black beans
pretzel sticks
and a tj meringue cookie

I picked up my cute spider placemat at Ross for a great price for aset of 4 and they are the current place mats du jour for my littles since its spooky and all. Thanks Wendy and your fabulous blog for the inspiration I hope to keep it going.

Bento Box Bonanza

So for months now I have been reading a cute little blog, actually to be quite honest I have a tiny blog crush on a few of the blogs I read daily Wendy's Blog is one of them. She creates these fantastic little bento boxes for her son  that I adore and have been wanting to do for the little for awhile now.  I headed over to Daiso and picked up some cute little supplies to get me started.



Yikes lots of stuff goes into proper fun bento making? I should have know. I stuck  my supplies in a clear shoebox I picked up at here. A secret weapon I use to stay organized at home I got an awesome deal for 30 of these hot little puppies so I have plenty to use around the house. For now I am storing on top of microwave for easy  prep access... some of these little items will be used to jazz up all of the littles meals. Yes, a little more work but alot more fun and thats what it's all about at their age in my opinion.

That was  BbD having a fit to get into the bananas... his favorite.


And my favorite thing in my Spud box this week... these gorgeous heirloom tomatos. Are they not the prettiest things? I love end of the season tomoatos both yummy and pretty. I am looking forward to enjoying this little lovlies soon.

Sad news Spud box  fans. It seems the Dee's mini doughnuts  my litles and I have a crush on are not at Spud anymore. What the heck? So sad. I will miss them and hope that they will magically reappear one day soon.

End Of The Week Lunch Box

Happy Friday to all! I plan on doing a lot of Blogging today so let's start out with a lunch box:

Salad greens, sprouts and black bean salad (1),  1 table spoon of peanut butter and 1 half apple (3), half a banana (2), Kasi Morning Sunrise cereal sample packet (1) ,one trader  joes organic lolly pop .. I bought these for the littles  but stole one since I am a little curious how they taste.  That's right,  candy in the house for a whole seven days and this is the first one I am going to have.  Snaps for me... 3 pops are 1 point , but I am going to count the 1 point anyways and a WW 1 point bar.

Whole box  is 9 points... I should go to calorie king and count all of these calories or keep a running tally  but its Friday I will start better habits next week. Breakfast,  btw was a 6 oz muscle milk protein shake in chocolate  3 points.

Thursday lunch box

Thursday lunch box : left over del feugo salad from buffalo bills and e's left over Aztec quesadilla. An apple I did not eat and a 1 point bar I did not eat either. The salad and quesadilla were very filling and I am sure did nothing for my waistline but what are you going to do. The grub was good!
