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.

This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.Proverbs 3:7-9

Sandwich on a Stick

I follow many wonderful bento blogs and I when saw a sandwich on a stick over at Feeling A Little Lunchy yesterday, it completely inspired today's lunch:
 
  • Sandwich on a Stick
  • Cherries (I pitted the cherries so she didn't have to deal with spitting out the pits at school...that could either be super cool or mortifying to a 4th grader!)
  • Sugar snap peas with a cherry tomato and ranch
  • Hershey Kisses
In addition to the affiliate product links I've included above, here is an affiliate link another product I used to pack this lunch:

FunBites Review and Giveaway

I was very excited when Bobbie from FunBites contacted me about doing my first review and giveaway.  She sent me the FunBites "Cube It".   I have to say, I REALLY wish I would have had this tool a couple of months ago when my daughter got her pallet expander and braces.   She had trouble eating for the first few days and we had to cut her food into small pieces.   This product would have been SO helpful!

This product seems to be well made and durable.   Using the tutorial I had seen on BentOnBetterLunches, I used the FunBites "Cube It" to make both my daughters' lunches.   It was super easy to use and the bite-sized pieces turned out great!  I just stuck them on a stick (you know, because everything is more fun when eaten off a stick!) and I was done!  Easy!


  • Ham, turkey, on whole wheat bread with honey mustard (cut using the FunBites "Cube It", of course), lettuce and cherry tomato kabobs
  • Strawberries and blackberries
  • Carrots and celery with ranch
  • Ferrero Rocher, for dessert
This was my first experience using a FunBites product.  So, check out some of the lunches my bento buddies have made using these products.

Does your little one have a wiggly tooth?  Look at this cute lunch Cristi from "Bent On Better Lunches" made for her little one:


Kendra from "biting the hand that feeds you" made this adorable Valentine's Day lunch using the "Luv It" cutter.
 
Karen from "What's In Our Lunch Bags?" made this yummy dinner for her son,
also using the "Luv It"
 
FunBites aren't just for meal time!  Look at the snacks that Jenn from BentoForKidlet made.
