I am sure you all know Tardar sauce other wise known as Grumpy cat.

Here is my tribute to her.

Served with salad of spinach and arugula, grapes, tomatoes. Other tier is blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, pirates booty cheese snacks and cheese "NO" cut free hand with an exacto knife.

Served In a Hakoya Bento box.

Flower bento

So usually I make lunches for my kids. Today I decided to make myself something even though I work from home, I deserve a yummy pretty lunch too right?

 So whipped together from last nights leftovers with an egg for protein is this.



 Leftover rice, with furikake not sure exactly what is I that (sesame, seaweed, prawn etc) flowers cut out from leftover golden and chiogga beets and purple sweet potato.

 Other half has a fried egg cooked in a metal flower cookie cutter and the rest of the beets and sweet potato.

 It was yum and better than the usual sandwich I usually need up grabbing and taking up to my desk.
So do yourselves a favor remember grown ups can eat pretty food too.

Sandwich faces easy lunches

Always an easy standby when I have run out of ideas is to give the sandwiches faces.

These are raisin cinnamon bread with jam.

The eyes are Wilton sugar eyes. Mouth cut out with small oval cutter.


The babybel I just cut out the wax with a straw and insert the eyes.

Also included Wonderful Pistachios, Rilakumma Cookies, Strawberries, Grapes, Tomatoes, Watermelon and kettlecorn.

The next is a half a babybel cheese on strawberries and last but not least a homemade cookie on bed of kettlecorn.

Keyboard Cat bento

Keyboard cat does it purrfectly...

I am sure alot of you have seen the Wonderful Pistachios add that ran awhile ago with the internet Meme Keyboard cat. This is my take.

My kids love Wonderful Pistachios so they are a nice addition for a lunch treat to get some extra protein in.




This lunch includes a keyboard made of a tortilla with keys drawn on with americolor food marker. Underneath is a cream cheese sandwich.

Keyboard cat is made from French toast (from HEB) cut with a CuteZCute cutter (these are the most wonderful cutters and can be used for all sorts of creative food) Inside is jam. I used sugar eyes and a Nori nose. The paws are more french toast.

In with the cat are grapes, tomatoes and musical food picks from Daiso. There is another layer to this bento unshown with Strawberries, more grapes and savory snack.

May the forth be with you bento hop

It's May the Fourth. Other wise known as Star Wars day. I am participating in a Star Wars themed bento blog hop.I have three kids so I had to do three different Star Wars themed bentos.

The first for my girl twin is a Wicket the Ewok bento.

Wicket is made from A Dark rye and white bread jam sandwich. With blue corn tortilla hood. His spear is a matcha green tea pocky with a cut grape on top. The forest of Endor is made from broccoli. The other side has fruit with Yoda because he is the light side of the force. Darth Vader is saying "come to the dark side, we have cookies!"

The next for my boy twin is a Yoda bento.

Yoda is made from a folded flour tortilla with cheese and an Easter egg c
container I got in the sales. With grape hands and a matcha green tea lightsaber. Underneath is a cheese sandwich. Again the dark side has cookies (I am almost sold on the dark side, the willpower is not strong in this one)


Last but not least for my eldest daughter. I made a Bantha bento.

The Bantha is made from dark rye sandwich with cheese horns and mouth. Bantha fodder is fruit.
