Time Keeps on Slippin'

Am I feeling patriotic?  Am I strangely inspired by Steve Miller?  Am I a huge Stephen Colbert fan?

All of those things are true, but that is not why I made these Eagle bento boxes.

My little babies are growing up and they have graduated into their new Eagles classroom at Preschool.

On their first day I made these boxes.

Almond butter and jelly on french bread for the head.

A thinly sliced baby carrot and green bean for the eye.

String cheese for the neck feathers.

Pretzel sticks for the body feathers.

Cantaloupe for the Beak.

Now they're ready to fly like eagles; to fly right into the future.

She's a Grand Old Bento

To commemorate our new President I proudly present "A Grand Old Bento", my interpretation of the American flag made with food (with my apologies to the last four stripes). Included is an open faced turkey and cheese sandwich on wheat bread, cherry tomatoes for red stripes, mozzarella cheese for more white stripes, blueberries, and cheerios instead of stars. If only I had some Gerber Graduates Fruit Puffs, they would have made great stars.

As usual, I made two bentos, one for each of my girls.
