Bentos
Some of my more recent attempts at bentos
Bento #2
This one was for my daughter to take on a family picnic. It features a boiled egg cut in half with nori eye balls, turkey bacon hair with carrot stars, strawberries, an orange cherry tomato and a sugar snap pea. Food art is not really my forte but I put the egg in the box and it looked so much like eyes I had to keep going.
Bento #3
This was for my husband to take on a picnic. The top left compartment contains left over burrito beef, orange and red chopped tomatoes, salsa and cheese. The top right compartment contains mini corn and sugar snap peas with a carrot star. The bottom compartment has strawberries and a tortilla shell.
Bento #6
This one was for me, but I made an identical one for my husband. It has a bottom layer of grated brocolli steamed and tossed in rice vinegar. On top is a salmon pinwheel (bought like that), heart shaped onigiri with furikake, mini-corn, sugar snap peas, raspberries and ginger snaps.
Bento #7 - bagle with cheese
This one features a bagel with c header cheese, cucumbers and olives in the bottom section. The top left section has tapioca pudding (a favorite of my husbands) and strawberries. The top right has mushroom bites and some ketchup. Apparently when he opened the box my husband managed to get ketchup all over his sleeve. Good think I have mayo containers on order.
bento #8 - sunrise
I saw the brocollini and they just said trees to me. The background is pumpkin tortelli (it's yummy). There is tuna and sun dried tomatoes at the bottom with olives and a cutie.
bento #11 - left over pizza
So this was built around the left over cheese pizza. The salad is made up of lettuce, cucumber, carrots and mini corn. There is salad dressing in the bird and strawberries for dessert.
bento #12
The base of this is a mixture of brown rice and mixed green veggies. On top is teriyaki chicken. There are kumquats and yogurt and a lollipop for dessert. The carrot contains soya sauce for the rice.
