Not what I'd have chosen, but it's her birthday! From top right, clockwise: #7 Cheese toast topped with #7 grape cluster and surrounded by tiny sausage rolls (sausage cooked in crescent dough). All on top of a small bed of shredded orange & white cheeses; Next, a tiny orange with some of the peel removed. Makes it neat to look at, but also makes it easier for little fingers to peel. Strips of fruit leather nearby. Next, a rather interesting trail mix of sorts: unsweetened coconut flakes, peanuts, mini chocolate chips, sprinkles; and a few candies thrown in. Oh, and some grapes. Again. Finally, the last of our cantaloupe for the week. Chocolate Almond milk to drink. I'm bringing cupcakes in for the whole class, too. This bento is sweeter than I'd like, but it's a once in a while treat. It's her birthday, after all. :)
That looks great! Can you elaborate for the orange challenged exactly how you create that easy to peel look? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSure: I just used a paring knife to cut through the skin of the orange. I cut out a 1/4" wide slice of peel all the way around the orange both ways. After cutting, it peels away easily.
ReplyDeleteMy niece turned 7 today also! Happy birthday to your daughter!
