Bento Bloggers & Friends enjoyed the Dr. Seuss hop so much that we are getting together again to do a St. Patrick's Day Bento Lunch Blog Hop. It is Spring Break, so I made a St. Patrick's Day lunch for Boogs and one for me. I used the same book for inspiration for both lunches. "The Luckiest St. Patrick's Day Ever!" by Teddy Slater lists most of the symbols of St. Patrick's day in a cheerful rhyme.
 |
| My lunch: Chicken bundle (kind of like a pot pie) with a shamrock on top, grapes, Mediterranean Orzo Salad, biscuit shillelagh, yogurt, and a pot of Pirate's Booty gold. |
 |
| Boogs' lunch: salami & cheese shamrock sandwich, pot of Pirate's Booty gold, and a rainbow of nibbles - red tomatoes, orange carrots, yellow cheese, green broccoli, and blueberries. I gave Boogs the yogurt in the top picture. |

Seriously? The rainbow of nibbles is GENIUS ... and sooooo much healthier than the rainbow of candy I'm giving John. Whoops! (Your lunch is pretty darn cute, too!)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I had a hard time figuring out how I wanted to make a rainbow.
DeleteLOVE it! I always enjoy seeing the books you read too!
ReplyDeleteOh that's fantastic, love how you tied it into your storybooks too!! :)

Mhmm, the chicken bundle looks delicious! Great lunches!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of a chicken bundle but it sounds amazing! Cute lunches :)
ReplyDeleteI got the recipe from
Deletehttp://www.quick-and-easy-dinner.com/chicken-bundles.html
I did not use sesame seeds but I did add peas, carrots, and poultry seasoning to the chicken mixture. I liked them, but my husband was not a big fan.
Pirate Booty is a perfect treasure to find at the end of the rainbow!
ReplyDeleteMy boy certainly thinks it is treasure! :-)
DeleteI LOVE that you did a mama lunch too! And ditto Keeley - you're so clever!
ReplyDeleteI love how you tie in a book with your lunch - I bet you had a fun time reading and eating! what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks! My son and I really enjoy our reading time together.
