Just wanted to share a few recent bentos… Lion Bento Lion bento with green beans, goldfish, pineapple and strawberry kebabs, bugles (remember those from when we were kids? I got them free at the store…), a banana cookie and an organic fruit roll up. The lion is a cream cheese and jelly sandwich topped with [...]

In honor of Earth day today, I made this bento for Jamie last night. His school is doing a lot to promote Earth Day and Jamie’s special interest is in stopping people from littering. I found a great book at a yard sale this weekend about Litterbugs and he’s been reading it over and over since then. [...]
Catching Up and Some More Bentos/Food Fun
Posted in Bento, Food, James, Lauren, Motherhood, Our Family, Pregnancy on Apr 19th, 2009
So yeah. It’s been a while since I posted to this blog. Life seems to get in the way of my better laid plans! We’ve had one heck of a few months — I was sick for an entire week (I’ve never been sicker in my life), John was hospitalized twice since January (once for [...]
Snacktime
Posted in Food, Motherhood, Sydney on Feb 19th, 2009
I took Sydney to the grocery store to pick up a few things for dinner last night. She “helped” me with the bags as usual and as I was putting things in the car I noticed she had pulled out a bag of roma tomatoes and was trying to eat them through the plastic. I [...]
One week down, three to go…
Posted in Food on Feb 10th, 2009
We have managed to survive our first week of no restaurants. In some ways, it has been very difficult, but in other ways, very easy. We started on Super Bowl Sunday and the following work week was fairly easy. We usually do pretty well at eating at home on weeknights, with the occasional pizza ordered [...]
Inspired by another WALL-E bento I saw online: Body is made of a turkey and mayo sandwich topped with a slice of cheese. ”Legs” are crusts of whole grain bread. Eyes are also sandwiches cut into ovals topped with black olives. He also has goldfish, letter crackers from TJs and mixed fruit (strawberries, pineapple and [...]
Football Food!

Kate and I are not football fans. Or really any organized sports fans. It’s just not our cup of tea. So usually every Superbowl Sunday we go to the movies and see a really girlie movie or take advantage of the empty malls and do some shopping. The only problem is that I love to make [...]
Bye bye restaurants!
Posted in Food, Our Family on Feb 2nd, 2009
I caught an interesting episode of Oprah last month. She had Suzie Orman on and they were discussing America’s financial situation and what we could all be doing better in this tight economy. Suzie challenged America to do 3 things: Don’t spend money for an entire day. Don’t use any credit cards for an entire week. Don’t [...]
Some Recent Bentos…
Posted in Bento, Food, Motherhood on Jan 29th, 2009
No, I haven’t stopped making bentos for James. Are you kidding me, that boy loves him some bentos! I’ve just had to make more boring ones lately due to my extreme exhaustion at the end of the day (thanks a lot, Baby #3!). But I thought I’d share a few quick ones that I’ve managed to [...]
Chicken Lasagna Florentine
Posted in Casserole, Chicken, Food, Main Dish, Motherhood on Jan 21st, 2009
I will admit it, I am a cookbook junkie. I love reading and collecting cookbooks and am often given them as gifts. At one point I had over 300 of them, but I’ve been trying to whittle down that collection to just my favorites in recent years. One of my go-to favorites is the Southern [...]
