Wooden Salad Bowl Bento

My bento is getting looser and looser. I am certain that some of it doesn't qualify as bento at all, in traditional terms, but remember, this is Stay-at-Home-Bento. ;) Made by a tired and busy mama, mostly in a rush with hungry kidlets swarming about. So, you get what you get, eh? :)

I found these nice square wooden salad bowls at Walmart for $1.86. They are so pretty and just the right size for a child's lunch, though the sides are curved so it's impossible to pack it precisely.


Baby's lunch: a glass souffle ramekin filled with pasta stars and sauce, decorated with meunster cheese flowers. A paper cup of diagonally cut green beans sits next to a bundle of snap pea crisps, and Baby Mum-Mum rice rusks.


Big brother enjoyed an organic PB & J heartwich, with a cluster of chilled grapes, splattering of meunster stars, and cuplette of smoked almonds. I love the natural look of the wood and the way the oyster shell kind of hugs the sandwich while keeping it seperated from the wet grapes.
