Simple Stitch Bento

16 May 2013 by

Today I had no inspiration and no time. That means I end up making a bento that I usually would not post, but I figured why not show my uninspired days. My kiddo does not mind them so why should I.  It is not that I don’t like this bento just doesn’t flow for me today. I need to go shopping for things because I like to fill all the void spots. I like them a little more stuffed looking I guess.

Simple Stitch Bento was a simple bento because it was nice and easy to put together. I have … More

Cute Little Lion Bento

13 May 2013 by

At kiddos request she wanted an animal bento. She said she likes them the best. With Spring here and the weather was so nice but so rainy the other day. It made me think of that saying of how March enters  in like a lion and comes out like a lamb, well that is how our May is here in Colorado.  So with that saying in my mind I thought I would make some cute little lion bento. I was going to add the lamb but I didn’t think kiddo would get it and think the lion would eat the … More

Product Review: FromYouFlowers.Com = no thanks

12 May 2013 by

Mother’s Day I like so many people went online to order flowers to my Mom who lives far away. I was fooled by the pictures and web site of FromYouFlowers.com.  I wish I had seen a real review of the company. Next time I will use a more trusted company like I have in the past. I don’t even want to say how much I paid with shipping and taxes as it is a utter embarrassment.

I was very dissatisfied when I saw the pictures of what was sent. When I contacted the company their response :
The disclaimer states … More

GF Mini Pot Pie

09 May 2013 by

Spring here is cold one day and warm the next as you know from my previous posts. Today was rainy and cold (thank goodness it didn’t turn to snow) and it is days like these where I want to make some comfort food. I wanted something warm and yummy to bake up and one of my families favorite foods is chicken pot pies.  With kiddo on her GF diet I decided that she definitely should not miss out on all the yum, so I wanted to make her own special little GF pies.

I used Bisquick GF for the crust. … More

Pretty Bento

08 May 2013 by

We have had some nice “Spring-y” weather trying to show itself here, yesterday was so sunny and then today rain. I should be happy it is not snow, LOL.. My kiddo and I have started getting the yard ready for spring by starting our garden plants in the hot house and then raking up all the pine needles here in the woods. She is a great helper and we are loving the nice weather and look forward to the pretty flowers and our garden. This is what inspired my bento today.

Not wanting to waste the yummy dinner I made … More

Product Review: Little Colds, by Little Remedies Honey Elixir

07 May 2013 by

With school here and kiddos all together in the classrooms, they are bound to get a bug.  Well of course we can send them off with hand sanitizer, give them vitamins to boost their immune system and even beg them to keep their eyes open and steer clear for sick friends.  But they still will eventually get the bug that’s going around the class.

My kiddo (10yrs)  is home and has a nasty bug (she said a friend was coughing a lot- so a big thanks to that Parent who send their kiddo that day).  She is coughing and running … More

I Love Bunnies Bento

02 May 2013 by

Spring is trying so hard to come to Colorado. One day sunny and warm and we see the bunnies running all over the forest here and the next snowfall. Luckily the snow never sticks here but we patiently wait for it to be the last. My kiddo recently tried photographing a bunny in our yard, creeping so slowly loosing valuable light for the shot with every careful step. Though I am impressed by her patience for the shot as she creeped closer and closer alas her setting was not on correct (Momma didn’t check for her oops) and all pics … More

Cute Panda Bento Lunch

30 Apr 2013 by

With dreaming of all things Asian lately and my daughters delight in thinking of how we will travel when she is older to the different cultures of Japan and China I made this cute panda bento lunch for her today.  Kiddo and I ate at a new Chinese restaurant and while she was having her War Wonton soup she didn’t know that she was eating bamboo shoots. When I told her she is and must be like a panda we had a good laugh.  So Cute Panda Bento Lunch today!

The bonus with this lunch was that I basically just … More

Sea Pasta Bento

29 Apr 2013 by

I entered this Sea Pasta Bento I made into a contest and sadly did not win or come close.  Not sure what they were looking for but OH WELL,  at least I came out of my comfort space and tried, who knows one day maybe it will be a win next time. Just sad for kiddo, her biggest dream is to go to Japan (Tokyo) to shop and see the sights. I promise we will get there somehow someway baby!

For this bento I used Squash ravioli for fish and cut the edge into fin shapes, made the crab out … More

Chicken & Waffles Bento

23 Apr 2013 by

My kiddo loves waffles and who doesn’t love breakfast items at lunch or even dinner for the matter. So that made me think of chicken and waffles for the bento today!

I cooked some chicken nuggets and placed them into a silicon cup and did the same with the waffles. I noticed all the main food was very bland looking. So to add some color I added some raspberries and a cute chicken to the top of the nuggets and to the waffles I put a little shooting rainbow star. Next to the waffles I added some green beans to … More
