Eggplant Tofu Bento
Today's bento has stir-fried eggplant and tofu in chili garlic sauce, which I thought for sure might be met with some resistance in the under 7 group, but they both gobbled it up! So in it went to MisterMan's lunch bento, with yellow pepper flower details, purple potato "chips", carrots, broccoli, grape tomato, grapes and a RED apple heart.

supre cute with all the animals hanging around! Love the little flowers, and the purple potatoe chips are awesome!
ReplyDeletethe apple hearts, sweet baran, and tiny flowers are all such cute details. and i am continually impressed by the adult yummy foods your kids will eat!
ReplyDeleteAgain, I'm in awe of your MisterMan's sophisticated tastebuds. Kudos to you sheri!
ReplyDeleteThanks BentoBeginner! I find that adding my pals helps brighten up a "boring" bento. Thanks you guys :)
ReplyDeletemegan,
I know! They totally surprised me on this one. There were even visible chili flakes on the food and they didn't flinch. So proud of them :D
Thanks!
Thanks Debra! My little guy is growing up! *sniff*
ReplyDeleteBut, yay!!
Gorgeous bento! I have been trying, and trying, and trying to get Paige to eat more eggplant! Tell me what your secret is! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan!
ReplyDeleteIt's a mystery to me... I disliked eggplant myself til one day in my 20's... who knows how that works! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you; I'm sure you will find a way to make it cute and delish!
Lovely bento! Pretty on the left and cute on the right. You are the best Sheri. Same with Susan, I have a hard time to get my kids (and my husband) to eat eggplant too. Have to think something to make them love it ;)
ReplyDeleteSheri the kids are better than me. I still am not an eggplant eater but you make it look delicious. I need to look up some eggplant recipes or maybe call my dad for one. The RED apple heart..aaaawwwww I love it.
ReplyDeleteOh, yummy eggplant--with tofu! Perfect idea for tonight's dinner--we love eggplant! These cheery baran make me smile...and the red heart is simply wonderful. So nicely done, all with your signature sweet style :)
ReplyDeleteYou're early with your valentine heart! :))
ReplyDeleteThanks Lia,
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I can say is I have to put lots of flavoring with eggplant because otherwise they don't like the texture. Thanks a lot for your nice compliment!
Marisa, that's funny! Eggplant is not for everyone; I hear that a lot :) Thank you!
bentobird, Yay, eggplant lovers! Sounds like a delish dinner at your house! Many thanks to you for your kindness :)
gnoegnoe... I know, you're right! But I am going to treat it as a valentine month 'cuz I love the hearts!!
