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.

Field Trip - Disposable Lunch #2

So, you might have a bento problem when you are out at a very nice restaurant with friends and you get super excited when they bring out the "to-go" containers because they will make PERFECT disposable bento boxes!!   I have great friends....they all saved their leftover containers for me so now I have extras ;-)

Today my 4th grader is going on a field trip and needed a completely disposable lunch.  So, I got to use my new perfect "to-go" box!

 
  • PB&J roll-ups on a drink stirrer "skewer"
  • Red grapes
  • Cucumber slices with ranch (from a fast food restaurant)
  • Pretzel sticks
  • piece of candy for dessert

Field Trip Disposable Lunch

So it's field trip time at school, where you have to send a completely disposable lunch.  But, that doesn't mean you can't pack it bento-style!

Both of these lunches were packed in to-go containers from Bob Evans restaurant, using jumbo muffin cup papers.

 
  • 1 1/2 heart shaped peanut butter sandwiches (1 1/2 because that's how many I could get cut out of the sandwich)
  • Carrots with ranch (the ranch cup is from a fast food restaurant and doesn't need refrigerated)
  • Cherries (the heart pick came in a package of 100 so I'm ok that it will get tossed)
  • Cool Ranch Doritos (if you follow my blog, you know that I hardly ever send chips in our lunches.  But my daughter loves, I mean LOVES, cool ranch Doritos. So, as a special treat for her field trip lunch, I packed her a few)

I'm chaperoning so I needed a disposable lunch too.  Mine is pretty much the same (maybe a few more chips...blush) except I am having cheese, salami and crackers instead of PB&J.
