Pretty Little Packaging...

So, I have a new obsession. Bento Boxes.

In Hawaii a Bento Box is a pre-packaged meal that you can buy like at 711 or the grocery store like this

So to me, that is a Bento...btw: in looking for a picture...I am now starving and craving Local Hawaiian food! yummers. I digress.

But, I was seeking out inspiration for school lunches when Brynn starts preschool next month, and someone suggested a Bento Box.

Apparently a Bento Box is like ultra cute Tupperware! Its basically like a food container that you can divide with your food items...Iam having a hard time explaining. But there are blogs dedicated to the art of Bento Box lunches for kids. I really like this one.

It really gave me some great ideas for putting together some great healthy balanced lunches for Brynn.

I also found the idea on that blog to make muffins with all the fixins, meaning like corn muffins with cheese and meat. SO EASY! That way I can make them ahead of time and throw them in there and its kinda like a fun little sandwich!

So, in my research, I somehow ordered $30 worth of bento box supplies....after I ordered, I was like "how did that happen" I swear these boxes are only like $2 each max. But then I remembered I ordered like 5 of everything...so there you go.

Here it is isn't it cute!!

And here is my FIRST BENTO!!! That muffin is made out of Bisquick turkey and cheese. I will give it to her tomorrow and see if its Brynn Approved lunch. We will see, there is a high probability that it will end up on the floor. I will let you know
