2 Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer Lunches

You know Dasher & Dancer and Prancer & Vixon, Comet & Cupid and Donner & Blitzen. But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all! Rudolph the red nosed reindeer....one of my favorite songs and characters during the holidays. Rudolph themed lunches are easy to create, all you need a circle or heart shaped cookie cutter, it's quite simple and fun. You can find some of my past Rudolph themed lunches HERE.

I have made a couple of Rudolph themed lunches this year, one is with quesadilla and one with bread. This first lunch is Rudolph made of bread with a circle cookie cutter. I added a couple of pretzels for antlers, icing eyes (secured with a dab of honey) and half of a grape tomato. Kind of looks like Rudolph as a youngster perhaps?

In this bento lunch (packed in a Planetbox rover): Main compartment contains a Rudolph sandwich, sides were green grapes with a cute Rudolph cupcake ring, pretzels, yogurt covered star, string cheese and organic baby carrots.

The next lunch is made of quesadilla, and could be an older Rudolph of the one above. He seems to have that look about him that says, "I've been around the world a few times." I guess it is the eyes or something. There are actually two slices of quesadilla here separated by a piece of parchment paper. Oh! My imagination is going wild this time of year. LOL

In this bento lunch (packed in an Easylunchboxes): Main compartment contains Rudolph quesadillas (stacked), half of a granola bar and yogurt covered stars from Trader Joe's. Sides were goldfish crackers and seedless grapes in a silicone cup with a Christmas tree cupcake pick.

Enjoy your weekend!

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer Lunch

'Tis the season of Christmas themed lunches and again I'll start our first Christmas bento lunch of the year with Rudolph. While looking back at previous years, I noticed the interesting coincidence that every year on December 3rd, I posted a bento lunch featuring the Rudolph theme. Perhaps it might become a tradition (though I'll make no promises), as the famous reindeer makes another appearance for a Dec.3rd lunch. You can see the other previous lunches here 

This lunch was quite simple to create, I used my heart shaped cookie cutter for the face, a couple of candy eyes, and I used a lip pop for Rudolph's red nose. The antlers are from bread ends which I free hand cut with a paring knife (you can also use a pair of scissors). His sides were organic baby carrots with a Christmas tree cupcake pick, organic apple slices and string cheese. This lunch was packed in a Bentology living bento box.

Here are the supplies that I used to create and pack this lunch.

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer Bento

I'll start our first Christmas bento of the year with Rudolph. I was looking back at my previous Rudolph themed lunches and they were also my first for the past two years and the dates which I posted are the same too, such a coincidence. Previous ones can be seen here.

This time I used a circle cutter for Rudolph's face instead of heart shaped cutter. I used the same cutter to make the ears as well. Rudolph's antlers were free-hand cut from the end crust of the loaf of bread and was for me the trickiest part. I used a grape tomato for the red nose and completed the face with a couple of candy eyes. This lunch was packed in an Easylunchboxes container.

In this bento lunch:

• Main compartment: Rudolph the red nosed reindeer sandwich.
• Top right: Broccoli florets with a cute Rudolph cupcake ring.
• Bottom right: Pear and apple slices in a silicone cup.

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer Christmas Bento

Time really flies when you're having fun, and suddenly it is December! We had a great Thanksgiving break and a long weekend with lots of food, gathering and shopping. I had so much fun that I think I might have temporarily lost my blogging mojo. I hope to get it back soon! My first Christmas bento this year will be Rudolph since I have a lip pop (candy part is gone, washed and it's a reusable pick) which helped to make this bento easy.

In this bento lunch:

• Rudolph sandwich made with a heart shaped cookie cutter. Antlers are pretzels, candy eyes and a lip pop for nose and mouth. Goldfish crackers in a silicone cup.
• Organic baby carrots with a cupcake ring.
• Seedless red and green grapes in a silicone cup with a cupcake pick. This lunch is packed in an Easylunchboxes container.Linked to BentoLunch.net

Here are the supplies or similar that I used to make and pack this lunch.
