Today’s bento has a bit of a bear theme happening.
Or maybe it’s a B theme. Bears, bunnies, berries – yep. Let’s call it a B themed lunch.
There are four turkey sandwiches stamped with bears, one of which happens to be wearing a little hat. The cuteness is almost … unbearable.
Yeah, I’ll stop.
Next to the sandwiches is a bear cup with two grape tomatoes and a bear pick. Also in this bento is some Annie’s Cheddar Bunnies snack mix and a few strawberries.
Today’s bento full of flowers contains:
Items used in today’s lunch:
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Today’s lunch is sweet. Like, literally sweet.
There’s a lot more sugar happenin’ in that bynto up there than I normally send for lunch but I think that today calls for a little extra sweetness. 😉
In the top tier there are carrots and cheese hearts in the silicone heart next to a chocolate snack cake.
I made two heart-shaped chocolate hazelnut spread sandwiches and topped them with organic fruit leather and Valentine’s gummies.
I started feeling really guilty late last night about not making any special treats for my kids so I popped some popcorn, added a few chocolate candies and pretzels, covered them in melted white chocolate and hot pink sparkly sprinkles, and then drizzled dark chocolate over the top. That concoction is in the bottom tier.
I hope your Valentine’s Day is sweet ♥
It’s a Valentine’s bento!
I know Valentine’s Day is tomorrow but I couldn’t resist making a sweet little lunch filled with love a day early.
And what says love better than hearts?
Nothin’, I’m pretty sure.
In today’s lunch, there are two chicken sandwiches, colby jack cheese, a Valentiney snack cake, apples, organic fruit leather, carrots (under the apples), and two gummy candies. And almost everything is heart-shaped. Sweet!
I was doing a little shoppin’ yesterday and I happened to come across a set of butterfly and flower shaped silicone cups in yellow (Cam’s favorite color) for $4.99! There was no way they weren’t coming home with me.
Since I had new butterfly shaped silicone cups, it seemed appropriate to do a butterfly bento.
The top section contains cheesy butterflies and strawberries with fruit leather butterflies on top.
I used my butterfly pastry stamp to make two sandwiches and put them in the middle section along with some fruit filled wheat cereal.
The bottom section contains Annie’s Organic Cheddar Snack mix.
I’m just going to go ahead and point it out (as if you haven’t noticed by now anyway).
I took the picture with the scrapbook paper upside down.
Insider secret: All those super cute backgrounds you see in most bento pics – most likely scrapbook paper.
That’s right. I just blew the lid off this whole operation!
Okay so not really, but it did deflect from my lack of attention to detail for a second.
Whoopsie.
Anywho… the contents of this lunch include:
The pretzels are shaped like cars and tiaras. Although I don’t think you can actually see any tiaras in that picture up there.
I snapped this pic with my cell phone whilst in the throws of a nasty migraine this morning. So please forgive the less than stellar quality.
For lunch today I packed strawberries and mango, pretzels, fruit-filled wheat cereal, chicken and cheese roll-ups, and a bag of all natural fruit snacks which have been a special lunch treat this week.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
For lunch today, I made a ham sandwich with a piggy face. I couldn’t resist.
I also packed grapes, pretzels, chocolate coated sunflower seeds, carrots, and Annie’s bunny fruit snacks.
What you see above is actually a bento made by a 5 year old.
I let Cam choose which foods she wanted in her bento, got out some cutters for her, and then just let her go to town.
Except for the cutting of the celery, she did everything herself.
It was so cute watching her arrange the cereal so it laid just the way she wanted it to.
The type A, slightly ocd apple did not fall too far from the tree.
For lunch today, she chose celery, carrots, fruit filled wheat cereal, strawberries, and cheese bunnies.

It’s World Nutella Day!
Yes, that’s an actual holiday. And any holiday centered around food is a holiday that I can get on board with.
It’s also National Frozen Yogurt Day so if Nutella isn’t your thing you can always celebrate frozen yogurt.
Or you could celebrate both and have some Nutella flavored frozen yogurt.
If that’s not already a thing, it should be!
In the interest of full disclosure, I have to tell you that in our house, we prefer Jif Hazelnut spread. We think it tastes better and you get more for your money. And that’s not even a paid endorsement. Although if Jif wanted to send me some free product to review on this blog I’d be more than happy to accept it.
So I guess we’re not really celebrating Nutella Day here but we love our chocolate hazelnut spread none the less so I put it on a sandwich anyway.
Aside from the chocolate hazelnut spread kitty sandwich, I packed Cheez-its, strawberries, carrots, cheese stars, and the rest of the sunflower seeds that were leftover from lunch yesterday in the star box.
