Tired Mama Bento

Finally, we made it to the grocery store for a few things! Well, actually, my sweet hubby went for me. Whatta guy! Seriously, he's the best. Still, we're all recovering from colds and the baby is SUPER clingy, so this was the best I could summon tonight.







The beloved Pokemon box! Wedge of pizza (one of two he ate), accompanied by an organic applesauce river (note to self - don't try to cram applesauce), strawberry flowers (LOVE my metal flower cutter!), mandarin orange wedges, honey roasted cashews, and spinach and bleu cheese salad tossed in olive oil and sea salt. Yes, I know what you're thinking, and yes, my 7 yo actually ate two bites of the spinach salad, proclaiming it, "not too bad". It didn't hurt that Daddy promised to play Monopoly Jr. with him as soon as he was done. ;)


Baby's bento shows her love of strong flavors. Bleu cheese crumbles (she ate every last morsel and licked her fingers clean!), diced thin Genoa salami, Arostica chicken breast, organic unsweetened applesauce, and a few of her favorite organic Cheetos to stir up interest so we could get her to sit in her highchair. ;) Off camera is a baby-sized pizza slice which bought Mama enough time to actually eat my whole meal at once! Small pleasures, eh? :D

I love that Pokemon box! I saw one locally here in San Francisco, but man, it cost an arm and a leg. If my son gets into Pokemon, though, I could see getting it. Right now we're in danger of getting the Cars (movie) bento box from the same store for WAY TOO MUCH MONEY...
