Lunch for a Long Day at School


Today was a big day for my DD!!!  It is the first day that she stayed for the extended day program at school, which means she had to pack a lunch and stay all day.  We decided to go with something fairly easy because frankly, she eats at a snail's pace and I wanted to make sure she had a chance to actually finish.  So we went with PBJ "sushi" along with some fruit, veggies, cheese, and star cookies for dessert.  To make the "sushi", just flatten one slice of bread with a rolling pin (or your hand if you don't have a rolling pin handy). Then spread the PB on and a little jelly on top (not much or else it will squirt out when you roll it).  Roll it up and with the seem side down, cut it into small pieces. Voila!

Oh, by the way, this is the cutest little bento box.  It was marketed as a "jibbitz organizer" at the Crocs stand at our mall (on clearance!!!), but any bento lover knows that it is just a transformed two tier bento box. Thanks Crocs for the bargain bento box! Here's a pic of it assembled.
