After I made the recent Batman bento a couple of weeks ago, I got a thoughtful message from my friend Kelly who liked the lunch. She happened to mention that her husband, Loren Lester, was the voice of “Robin” in Batman: The Animated Series. She thought it would be fun for me to create a Robin bento & dedicate it to him, and I’m always up for a new challenge. Please visit his website at www.lorenlester.com. He has not only done some amazing voice acting but also film, stage and TV over the past 35 years. He and his lovely wife are certainly not lacking in talent!
And even though you can’t eat it, I hope you enjoy the lunch I made for you, Loren!
Robin’s made from Rudi’s Oat & Nut bread and hand cut. His hair, mask and part of his cape are made from Stretch Island brand grape fruit leather. His eye whites are Vegan brand cheese. His torso is a Pink Lady organic apple with yellow squash stripes and R on his chest. His green sleeves are zucchini. In the top left are cherry tomatoes and in the compartment at top right are pieces of zucchini and yellow squash packed in an Easy Lunch Boxes container designed by Loren’s amazingly talented wife, Kelly!

We’ve been hunkered down all weekend and part of this week just trying to stay safe and dry form Tropical Storm Debby. We’ve had torrential downpours, flooding and 60 MPH gusts of wind. The girls wanted to watch Despicable Me while snuggling so I made a lunch to match.
The sandwich is Gru the so called villain of the movie. He’s made of Rudi’s Nut & Oat bread. His nose is the bread crust, his teeth are vegan cheese, his eyes are Florida grown lychee halves and the pupils and eyebrows are made from plums. The stars and rocket are homemade biscuits from the weekend. I made the minions from pineapple chunks and fruit leather for the goggles and eyes.
Our storm lunch is a lightning bolt made from the same Rudi’s bread. Above it are more of our homemade crackers shaped like clouds and an umbrella. In the yellow flower cup are plum sections with an umbrella pick. Below in the oval cup are red seedless grapes.
And the sides for my husband today are a salad made from baby kale, spinach and arugula. At the top right is edamame succotash with edamame, corn, tomatoes, white wine, garlic, parsley, basil, jalapeno peppers, and pepper. At the top left are lychee fruit unpeeled all packed in his Easy Lunch Box.

It’s Bunny Hop day! My post today is one of 20+ bento bloggers with Spring/Easter/Passover ideas for fun kid foods. I hope that you find something cute that you can make for your kids over the weekend.
Please make sure to click on the bunny at the bottom to link to the next page!
Today my girls are having, what else, bunnies!
Miss G gets the bunny booty today. I’m playing along with the Bunny Hop button and decided she gets the backside with the fuzzy tail. It’s Rudi’s Nut & Oat bread with the same old almond butter & jam today. The tail is a sweet & sara brand vegan marshmallow with toasted coconut. To the left of the bunny are mangos cut into carrot shapes. Above at the top left are bunny cucumber slices and at the top right are watermelon bunnies packed in her Easy Lunch Box.
Miss A is still 2 which means she likes a food one day, and the next day she says it’s yucky and it’s thrown on the floor. I try to change it up for her a bit. She has watermelon flowers at the top left, at the top right are pita bunny chips I made with garlic powder & sea salt. In the blue flower are pink hummus flowers. I colored some Sabra hummus with natural India Tree red food color derived from beets. I froze them in a silicone mold, and I’m hoping they’ll be totally thawed by lunchtime. At the bottom left are dried apricot bunnies and a small bunny sandwich made from the same Rudi’s Nut & Oat bread with Biscoff spread inside. The tail is made from a sweet & sara vegan marshmallow tail all packed in her stainless LunchBots Duo.
And I decided that my husband would be in on the fun today too. He gets a spinach salad with the leftover cucumber punchouts, a green plum tomato sliced and mini carrots. At the top left is a cornbread bunny and the top right is a California mandarin with some peeled bunny ears packed in his Easy Lunch Box.

Let’s Go Fly A Kite

If I had kept up with the paperwork that comes home from school, I would have known about kite day earlier! Instead, Miss G’s teacher was kind enough to remind me yesterday. I had another transportation lunch planned, but I decided to reroute. It’s actually the perfect idea because my little girls have been very into Mary Poppins lately so I was thinking about the song, “Let’s Go Fly A Kite”. I did a FunBites giveaway a few weeks back, and I had a kite idea that I didn’t use. The two kites at the bottom were cut using the FunBites Luv It! cutter.
At the top left are pineapple chunks cut with the FunBites Luv It cutter and topped with a heart strawberry. To the right is Sabra hummus in an orange flower cup. The heart in the middle is a snow pea, on the KITE picks are edamame and below are mini carrots for dipping in the hummus. The bottom 2 kite sandwiches are made on Rudi’s Nut & Oat bread cute with the FunBites Luv It! cutter which can be found through their site or on Amazon. Both have almond cutter & strawberry jam inside. The kite to the left is topped with Veggy brand soy cheese, and the clouds are also made from the same cheese. The kite strings are made from black rice vermicelli. Miss G’s lunch is pack in an Easy Lunch Box, and she has ice water with her lunch. In keeping with our new diet, her whole lunch is plant-based and vegan.
Below are the other lunches I made with the same cutter. The giveaway is over, but there will be another one coming up soon so please stay tuned! FunBites Fun Food Ideas for Kids (and big kids)
