AJ's lunch: green grapes; steamed broccoli; cucumber flowers & leaves; sandwich of smoked Tofurky, Veganaise, lettuce, & melted Daiya cheddar on wheat bread; spicy baked tofu; carrot flowers. The Pikmin is made of vegan rice cheese & white soy cheese.
This is exactly what AJasked for, including "lots
of green stuff to look
like leaves in the forest".
Imagine my pickiest eater
asking for that!
And there's a good reason
he got just what he asked
for... Yesterday I made one of my biggest lunch blunders to date... I put the WRONG bento in the WRONG lunchbox. Yep, I made two different lunches, and I accidentally put the Toy Story one into AJ's lunchbox. His solution: eat NO lunch. He drank his drink, but otherwise came home starving, whereupon Ryan convinced him to share the leftover bento with him. Not sure what a good idea that was, but AJ agreed. So we had a talk about mistakes, I told him I'd be extra careful that it didn't happen again, and if it did I implored him to at least try to eat some of it even if it didn't meet his expectations.
Now secretly I'm thinking: JUST MAKE IDENTICAL LUNCHES from now on!
Nate had to bring along a cupcake for a friend's birthday, so I gave he and Maia equally small snacks: cucumber flowers, 1/2 a Tofurky slice, Trader Joe's flat pretzels.

I usually pack the same ingredients in both girls lunches but just change the shape of the sami's..lol So much easier. Love the lunches :)
I love these bentos! Even your snack bentos are put together so perfectly! Next year I'll be packing two sets of lunches too. :)
