Easter Bunny Race Car Picnic Bento #558

The weather was beautiful yesterday so we went for a picnic. I packed a bento for Nikolai and some extras in our picnic basket for the rest of us. I saw and pinned this cute bunny in race car idea from Freefuneaster last year and thought that they were super adorable. My version is slightly modified.

Crocodile Field Trip Bento

Nikolai is going on a field trip today with the entire third grade from his school. He told me that there might be alligators or crocodiles which he might get a chance to pet! I forgot which one he said though, but I managed to find a crocodile cookie cutter from my animal pals cookie cutter set and hope this lunch will surprise him.

Among our many lunchboxes, I believe the Trudeau Fuel box is the best to send for his field trips since the lid is attached to the box. He told me that he did not get to sit during his previous field trip since the benches were limited and I thought that it would be nice to have a convenient lunch box this time just in case.

 In this bento lunch:
  • Crocodile shaped sandwich with icing eyes and nori accents (free hand cut). Granola bar and a mozzarella string cheese.
  • A large strawberry cut into flower shape above some seedless red grapes in a square silicone cup.
  • Cucumber slices in a square silicone cup.
  • This lunch is packed in a Trudeau Fuel sandwich box.

Bear Ham and Cheese Muffin bento (with recipe)

We are back and and it's back to basics. I managed to bake these yummy muffins during the weekend and here is how a cute silicone cup could transform a simple muffin to a cute one. Ours never made it to the freezer, just refrigerator for two days at the most, hubby is the culprit, lol.

Make a batch, freeze them (unless they get eaten first!) and reheat later. They are great for busy mornings when you have to race out the door and they are quite delicious, for breakfast or anytime of the day. I intend to bake these more often so that we have them ready to grab and go for lunch boxes.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup ham, diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350º.
  2. Grease a standard muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  4. In another bowl add milk, eggs, vegetable oil and ham. Mix until combined.
  5. Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture just until moistened, don’t over stir!
  6. Scoop into muffin cups to ¾ full. There is enough batter to fill one dozen muffin wells.
  7. Bake at 350º for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

    Fish Nuggets Bento

    Some of the frozen foods that we always have on hand are nuggets, both chicken and fish. It's easy to pack or serve as the oven does most of the job.:) The first thing I did as soon as I woke up was to pre-heat the oven and then continued with my morning routine. It required 15-20 minutes to cook and a few more for the nuggets to cool down before transferring them to his lunchbox.

     In this bento lunch:
    • Earth's best all natural fish nuggets. I added nori eyes and cucumber sticks.
    • Seedless black grapes with a fish cupcake pick.
    • Granola bar and graham fishes.
    • This lunch is packed in our Easylunchboxes.
    Here are the supplies that I used to create and pack this lunch.
