Hubbys Valentines day bento
Normally don't do cute for my husbands lunch but just had to for Valentines day. He's not one to get embarrassed easily so I'm sure he'll be fine with it.

Snowflake bento
After moving and much trial and error I have made a light box so I can continue to post pictures. My new kitchen is lovely but was lacking in quality photo lighting.

Star Wars Bento
May the force be with you! I squeeled out loud when I saw the storm trooper and Vader cupcake decorations. I was beside myself when I saw the lightsaber picks on amazon.

Shark Bento
Shark Bento, originally uploaded by texasmomof4.
The shark bentos are a special request from my daughter who is currently studying ocean animals at school. So in the attempt to get the right color for the shark I made my first colored egg sheet. Very easy process so the bento options are now endless.

Robot Rosie bento
When deciding to enter the Robots contest I sat and pondered who is my favorite robot and instantly Rosie from the Jetsons came to mind. In recreating Rosie I boiled rice lasagna noodles and colored them with blue food coloring. Then made a template and used a craft knife to cute the pieces out. Rosie is seating on top of jasmine rice. To the side there is fresh catfish dipped in mustard then coated with corn meal and fried to perfection, a beautiful red tomato, broccoli, carrots, grapes and fresh pineapple. I tried to keep the bento componets simple as to not compete with the details of Rosie herself.
