Since Naomi started Kindergarten, I've been trying to make her lunches more interesting so she won't want to purchase lunch from the school every day. We are so lucky that the school offers many healthy choices to the children for meals, but I still feel like I can give my child a more balance meal... Please, she can't choose to eat mashed potatoes and a dinner roll along with her grilled cheese sandwich!
This 'bento' style lunch is my first attempt at a truly cute lunch. This was on Halloween so I went crazy with the cookie cutters! She has two jack-o-lantern sandwiches (strawberry jam and cream cheese), a few carrot ghosts, another jack-o-lantern made from a clementine, some cherry tomatoes, and an Andes Mint for dessert.
This lunch was packaged in her favorite bento container featuring Totoro!
