Lots of little flowers today. Chicken noodle soup in her thermos. Flower shaped mini-grilled cheese sandwiches, sugar snap peas, and flower yellow apple bites. Dressed it up a tiny bit with ladybug and bee picks.
A little note on preparation - I cut out the little cheese sandwiches in the evening and place them in her lunch box. In the morning, I use a tiny egg skillet and grill up the sandwiches with some no fat butter spray. I let them cool completely on a cooling rack before I put them back in the container. When I'm cutting up the apple the night before, I drop the pieces into a bowl of half water, half lemon juice. They always still look nice by lunch. I usually keep the extra cut apple pieces for me to snack on or throw into a spinach salad.
How do you cut the apples so cute?
ReplyDeleteThis time I used a vegetable cutter. I bought it from a website that carries bento supplies. But I've done it in the past with small metal cookie cutters. You cut the apple in half - press the cookie cutter in, then cut it apart and cut the core from the bottom. Hope that makes sense.
