Making Lunch Fun, One Box at a Time

ben·tol·o·gy (ben t äləjē) Noun : The study of making nutritious and fun lunches for my daughters.

I get a lot of inspiration from other blogs. So, in hopes someone might get some inspiration from me, I've decided to post some pictures here.

Happy Birthday Bento

Today is my youngest's 6th birthday so we made her a birthday bento to celebrate! This lunch is packed in the "lovely" box.



  • 2 PB&J on whole wheat cupcake sandwiches (stacked). Cupcake decoration is made from cheddar and provolone cheese, a CHERRY tomato, and some sprinkles.

  • Cherry tomato balloons

  • Cucumber slices with ranch

  • Red and green grapes - a couple with faces made with food markers and party hats

  • 2 starbursts

    I am sooo suffering from Bento envy!! Where on earth did you find that cup-cake cookie cutter?

    That is soooo cute, you're so festive. I bet your little girl was so pleased.

    Joanie - you are so sweet! The cupcake cutter came in a Wilton set of 4 (there is a cupcake, a party hat, a present and a layered cake). I got it yesterday at JoAnn Fabrics.

    Where did you get the strings for the grape ballons? I love this idea for my daughter's school birthday lunch

    The balloon strings are part of a set that I ordered from www.allthingsforsale.com.
