Purple Bunny Bento

I know what you're thinking: they just had salmon this week already. But actually the bento from Monday was a late post from a few weeks ago -- so this is the first salmon of the week! I broiled this one with a cajun spice mix, and laid it upon some white/brown/quinoa/millet mixed rice in the lettuce cup. As usual, I roasted some veggies at the same time; this time some pencil asparagus which I tossed with olive oil and parmesan. There's also carrots, peapods, a section of fruit (strawberries, blueberries, grape tomatoes), and a steamed Okinawan sweet potato bunny with rice stick whiskers, because I realized at the last second that Easter is coming in a week or so, and I haven't made any Easter bento yet. Just in case the bunny doesn't cut it, there's a little fuzzy chick to get the point across. Happy Spring!

  6. I gotta tell you, I'm so so jealous your kids eat so healthy and yummy. Seriously. It says a lot about you as a great mom that you are but also how their taste buds are so much more sophisticated than my kid's. Your presentation as always is so gorgeous!

    1. You are always so thoughtfully sweet, Chantale. I don't do anything especially over the top. My kids just don't want to miss out on whatever I'm "yummmmmm"ing over! Hehe.
      Thank you dear!
