Panda Blueberry Egg Bento and Thai Chicken Bento
TinySprite has a finger foods bento again today. She still has that long-lingering cough, which I am hoping will clear up in a few days. Her appetite has been unpredictable lately. Some days she'll eat everything and ask for seconds, and other days it'll take her forever to finish. This afternoon she had eaten her entire lunch and even came home and scarfed up the leftover veggies from my lunch. Today I gave her a bento she can eat with her fingers (her preferred method): hard-boiled egg decorated as a panda with blueberries and nori, sauteed asparagus and kabocha, turkey skewer, steamed romanesco and yellow cauliflower, carrot sticks and blood oranges.
MisterMan has a more standard bento, including many of the same items, along with Thai chicken (not homemade), cherry tomatoes and a cup of yogurt with fresh blueberries and chopped blood oranges, dusted with toasted wheat germ. The cup (included with the EcoLunchBox) comes with a leakproof lid, making it perfect for sauces, gravies and.. yogurt.

I like the panda :) Blood orange? Is the taste same with regular oranges?
ReplyDeleteThanks mama elaine ~
ReplyDeleteBlood orange is not as sweet as regular orange, and can be kind of tart.
yum, the yogurt looks good... I have to remember to use my wheat germ! that might show up in tomorrow's bento. :)
ReplyDeleteWheat germ is fantastic in yogurt and cereal. I used to crush walnuts before they were outlawed at school. Sunflower seeds are good too.
ReplyDeleteHi Sheri don't know if you've heard but our local Chinese here believe that one should not eat oranges if one has got cough. Maybe TS can try not having oranges n the cough will go away sooner?! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe panda looks adorable...
ReplyDeleteHope TS will have speedy recovery :) *hugs*
The panda is very cute and like the others I hope that TinySprite will be coughfree very soon.
ReplyDeleteI am so in love to the panda. Can never have enough of them ^_^!
ReplyDeleteLovely bentos... MM´s one is just mouthwatering!
I hope TS gets totally recovered soon!
Totally cute. Hope TS is feeling better! That cough is horrible to get rid of.. Is it just me or is it pink in here? lol. I love it! I love that panda too!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable panda, the blueberries were a very creative idea. I hope she feels better soon :)
ReplyDeleteFeel all better soon, TS! Yay for blueberries, vibrant blood oranges and bentos that warm the heart, like this one featuring sweet panda guy!
ReplyDeleteXelia, I didn't know about the no oranges for cough rule. What is recommended?
ReplyDeleteThank you Yenny, Ingrid, karaimame, Chantale, Mommyof2girlz and Bentobird!
Yeps, it's now pink in here. Feels somewhat spring-y, and Valentine-y??
