Paige went on a field trip today so I packed her bento in a disposable container. After packing it (and taking the pictures), I realized that the box that I had chosen was too big! :0( The lid of the box pictured has a domed lid so there was quite a bit of space at the top. If I left the food in this container, it would have resembled a stir fry rather than a bento so I changed it to a smaller more secure container. Paige’s bento contains a musubi, mochiko chicken, sauteed Brussels sprouts, and carrot flowers. I cut the carrot flowers with my new and awesome Ateco cutters from the Executive Chef at Ward. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes and the only downfall is that they were kind of pricey. Still, I am a sucker for all new and cute things that I can use in my bentos so of course I bought them.

Puppy Onigiri and Mochiko Chicken Bento #125
Paige’s lunch today consisted of two onigiri disguised as puppies, mochiko chicken, edamame, and a couple of heart shaped Okinawan sweet potatoes. I also packed her a small container of cantaloupe which I forgot to add when I took the picture this morning. The onigiri wrappers are from the Marukai store at Ward and they also had Hello Kitty ones too. It’s a fast and easy way to make any lunch cute!
Woof, woof!
