Quick bento today
Nothing is worse than running late in the morning when you have a cute bento plan in mind.  Today we improvised and threw together bunny sandwichs, organic bunny crackers, tiny tangerines, grapes, strawberry, peas and carrots.

I had fun putting this together and it was a hit at lunch the number one goal.  There are so many tv specials on right now about the obesity rate of children and it is heartbreaking seeing these children struggle with weight at such a young age.  Everyone seems so confused on what the cause is.  If they would open their eyes and see the processed high fat junk they call a healthy school lunch they could stop this cycle.  Sorry to step on my soap box.

My new favorite is falafel made it for the first time and so glad I made a double batch.

Kids have been asking for very unphotogenic soups for a while now so glad to pack something a little more pleasing to the eye. Tarragon chicken salad, croutons, baby carrots, baby potatoes, broccoli and orange cauliflour, baby clementine, grapes, strawberry and blackberries.

Target has been really good to the bento addict in me lately.  In the easter section they have these adorable Mickey mouse easter eggs that are perfect for holding ketchup and sauce.  And in the freezer section they have organic chicken breast mickey nuggets.
