Little chicks bento
April 18, 2011
Wow! Another “monday bento” ! I said “wow” because my mondays are usually so busy I don’t even think about making any bento to the girls…
But this time was special. I promised myself I was going to make an Easter-theme bento this year and I had to hurry to make it today. We will be traveling for the Easter holidays and week will be short… not sure when I’ll be having time, I made an effort to post something today.
My girls went all “aaws” “ooohs” when they saw their meal ^__^! “Pääsiäistipu!!” (Easter chick in Finnish) … Luonnonvoima added also that the girls look like them :)
By the way, to make the chicks I used the same design from a felt magnet I crafted years ago, when my youngest daughter was born.
Inside the boxes: romaine lettuce, homemade chicken meatballs braised in yakisoba sauce, tofu with caramelized onions (under the meatballs), steamed asparagus spears (briefly fried with the meatballs), raw baby carrots, pearl tomato, grapes and clementines. Onigiri “chick” made with rice, soy wrap, nori, cooked carrot for the beak and a little ketchup for the cheeks.
That´s it! Have a great week friends!
PS: my Bento Box Toy set is still being auctioned! Please check the eBay page ;)! Happy bidding!

Super cute! No wonder your girls were in a big aww … Any room for adoption? LOL I like the color of the soy wrap that you used for this bento. Fabulous Easter-theme bento (^.^)

Thank you!

Geeeez, Lil, can this possibly be a Monday bento??
I was wondering when I could get an idea from you to copy – er – borrow — and here I get a whole bunch! I love the chick rice ball girls and the chicken meatballs in yakisoba sauce. So smart. You don’t mind if I make those tomorrow, right? Hehe :D

Thank you Sheri dear!
