Making lunch fun-Octopus dogs

Bet you were thinking I was making some gross new hot dog with tentacles.  EWWWW!

Have you ever heard of a Bento box?  Neither had I until recently and I love BENTO Boxes!!!  This is a Japanese tradition for serving meals in cool containers.  It is a simple concept but oh how I adore it.  My favorite part is it is all about portion size and balance.  I have never seen the kids so excited to eat fruits and veggies, and honestly it only takes a few minutes more to take a simple meal from boring to extraordinary!

How cute is that?  What kid wouldn’t like to eat that cutie up?

I adore how portable it is!  Look no plastic baggies to fill up the landfill!

A morning snack bento A blueberry scone, grapes, blueberries, banana chips, yogurt and a little pudding.  Yummy!

I don’t have any of the fancy tools nor do I even have fancy boxes but it works for us.  I picked up my little containers at the dollar store and I love that the little ones fit right inside.  Even Prince Charming loves when I pack him a Bento box.   I picked up the “Yum-Yum Bento book at the library and for more ideas you can check out this really fun blog:
