Bento!

I made this bento-themed lunch for me and my sister, Alix, today.
From top left, a small cup of milk. Top right, a little bowl with four orange slices, peach yogurt, and a seedless green grape to top it off.
On the big plate, there is a little plate of peanut butter. Next to that, celery slices and a little pile of baby carrots. Under the peanut butter plate is four pieces of mini toast that I made with honey and cinnamon on them, and finally a row of cut up hot dog with tiny little mustard dots on them.
Cute, huh? It's amazing how much more you enjoy your food when you put a lot of time into it. And it was the simplest bunch of ingredients, but I had such a fun time making it into a work of art.
