Today, since TinySprite has been stuck at home with congestion, I decided to do some cleaning. As a result I came across a bunch of photocopies I made several months ago of a bunch of lunch ideas. Wow, and on a day that I was putting off bento planning -- perfect! First on the list: Things to put in a tortilla wrap. Great!
So here's today's bento: black beans, black rice, soytaco, spinach, cilantro, green onions, and cheddar cheese. All folded into a whole wheat tortilla and cut in half. I didn't make a "roll" because if I leave the ends open, my boy will pick it up and half the fillings will just slide out the other end. But if I fold up the bottom, then fold in the sides, it makes a little pocket that he can eat more easily. To fill in this box I added a piece of steamed broccoli, some carrots, grape tomatoes and peapods. On the fruit side I was able to squeeze in a strawberry, a sliced kiwi and a couple grapes. This box is the Pokemon one, and it's super cute, but sometimes a challenge to fit everything in. After I took the shot, I lay the 2 halves down flat and put the tomatoes over on the fruit side.
I was so happy that the sun decided to make an appearance for my photo! Makes for a much nicer shot than the dreary ones I have been taking lately..

Love the blue setting for today's bento. Tortilla wrap with all the yummy fillings inside just delicious! And it's a good idea to make a pocket style so will not messy. Beautiful on the bento & the picture as well (^.^)
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Lia! I have a big stack of small scrapbook papers and don't know why I never thought to use a bunch together since each is too small by itself. Glad to hear it looks okay... I think maybe no one sees the photo the way it looks to me on my monitor, maybe my computer is deceiving me :)
