Bentobloggy Giveaway
My 8 year old daughter likes blini (mini-pancakes) in her lunch. We use tiny fish-shaped sauce bottles for maple syrup. I round it out with cheese strings, berries and a milk. I got her a laptop lunchbox two years ago and all the kids in her class want one. They always want to see what she has for lunch because it's never a boring old sandwich!

My almost 2 yr old son likes grilled/pan fried chicken and steamed broccoli for lunch. He has many food allergies so his food selection is limited. I make all meals for him and use organic when possible.
I just marinate the thinly sliced chicken breast with a little garlic powder, tamari soy sauce and olive oil.
How fun! My girls love carrots- I can put carrots with any meal and know they'll at least at that part!
And I'm a new follower!
Im a follower now ;)
My 6 year old son loves to have fresh strawberries (it is the only fresh fruit he is not allergic to) and triscuts- not many kids like triscuts...lol
My 18 month old daughter will eat as many black beans as you let her and avacado in the same manner...
My almost 2 year old Molly will eat pretty much anything I give her but she especially likes her veggies and fruit (particularly fresh green beans and blueberries). Her tastes change daily, and I rarely make the same things over and over. She also loves eating meat off the bone (which is a little odd to me since I hate it) but she loves drumsticks.

Both of my children will try almost anything and they really enjoy healthy food. My son, in particular, loves broccoli and asks for it as a snack food!
I just became a follower of your blog.
My daughter isn't a very healthy eater and is ashamed of my bentos, but the healthiest thing I can get her to eat is a whole wheat ham sammie.
Also, feel free to register and post this on Bento Central. It will help you get more exposure for your contest!

Super cute! My two and half year old daughter brown rice sushi! I've taught myself to make it she eats it so much! Her favourite roll lately has been crab, avocado, and cucumber. And If I can't get her into that, she's almost always up for whole wheat noodles, steamed broccoli with spicy Siracha, cheese, and strawberries!
And I'm now a follower! Forgot how much easier it is to check blogs I like when I follow them!
And I blogged about your cute blog! Hope you don't mind, I used a photo from one of my favourite bentos!

My 2.5 year old loves healthy food. Some of her favorites include fresh berries, pita and hummus, black beans and guacamole. She's fun to cook for since she has such a diverse palate!
My kiddos love Black bean soup, yogurt and string cheese. One kid is a veggie eater and the other a fruit eater. Go figure...
and I already had you posted on my blog as well

Great giveaway!!!
And I'm a follower too!
Nice blog...I just discovered it!
My girls really like lots of fresh veggies (cucumbers, daikon, carrots, tomatoes, bell peppers, etc.) and fruits in their lunches.
Oh, I'm a follower now, too!
my favorite healthy meal is a grilled veggie sandwich with eggplant, roasted peppers, and avocado. Yum! Thanks for hosting a contest!
Thanks for posting details of your Giveaway! I found your site through Bento Central! I have put your GiveAway on the "Contests" Page of Bento Box Blog. Your Eggy Lady Bug is soo pretty btw! :o)
My children's favourite bento food so far has been tempura battered baby corn and smoked tofu. They were almost disappearing too fast to get any in the bento boxes!
Lovely bento blog (only just discovered you through bento Central. I have added you to my blog roll at:
http://bentovention.blogspot.com
Happy bentoing!
I am follower number 40. Thanks for this great give away. I am still fairly new at bento making, been interested for awhile doing a lot of research. Glad i discovered your blog too.
My daughter is very healthy and loves fresh fruits. For veggies carrots, and cucumbers are her favorite in her lunch.
I have now added you to my blog roll!

No kids, but my favorite healthy foods are vegetables. I like all kinds of veggies - raw, steamed, cookied, whatever. My favorites are broccoli and asparagus. I like to eat grapes and apples as well, but I prefer veggies over fruit.
I am now following this blog. I also added to my netvibes, so I get it when I open my home page. :)
I have a blog, in fact I have several, but to be honest, I hardly ever post anything on them. I'm just not consistent enough to blog. I did however post about this contest on Facebook. (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=705340061) I hope that is ok.
It doesn't look my post saying that I am now following this blog showed up, so just in case - I am following this blog. :)
My girls are 18 and 21 now, so they pack their own bento when they need one. I pack them for my hubby - he likes to have a salad most days - gets a bit boring for me, but it's healthy...
I'm already following you and have you in my blog list - also added your giveaway to my blog :)
Was I supposed to add the link to my blog? I didn't post a blog entry about your giveaway, but added to my side bar where I now list bento giveaways, challenges and contests :)

I have a contest going on my blog right now: http://anamericaninbento.blogspot.com/2010/05/contest-time.html
I have no children, but some of my favorite healthy food is frozen fruit, mainly grapes and cherries are very delicious. If I have a way to keep it cool, and I am putting it into a bento, I like to make a miniature "fruit kabob" on a toothpick before putting it in the freezer. Sometimes I even include marshmallows :)
My three year old LOVES cucumber slices. She can eat an entire cucumber herself. She also likes baby carrots, but will only eat those with light ranch dressing. For lunch she usually gets at least one fresh vegetable and one fresh fruit and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or rice.
follower and facebook fan!
My son loves fresh fruit and cheese sticks with crackers. Sometimes he will nibble on a carrot stick, but they usually come back home with these tiny nibbles taken out of it. Oh well, have to keep trying!
I twitted about your giveaway here: http://twitter.com/mommybee17
My son Quin (Age 3) loves to make "smoothies' We have a really great juicer and he can pick 3 fruit and 2 veggies and juice them. Its a great way to make sure he gets his 5 a day. Also a great thing to do together and its delicious'!!
Juicer + Veggies + Quin = <3
oh and our fave is Celery, apple, cucumber, lemon and orange.
Well, my 7 month old is branching out but her fave is still the yobaby banana yogurt. :)
Also, I "liked" you on FB, don't see how to become a fan? Unless that's it, lol.
My kids favorites are anything fruit! Especially berries!

I thought I'd hit up all four entry possibilities with one comment:
1. I'm still growing my little one inside right now, but my favorite lunch these days is a stuffed pita - whole wheat and warmed, with dark green leafies, carrots, tomatoes, feta (I know, I know - I don't care about the soft cheese pregnancy rule, though), banana peppers, and balsamic vinaigrette dressing inside. I normally toss everything together before stuffing it inside, and I add a couple of peppercinis to gnaw on while I'm eating it.
2. I'm both a follower of your blog and a facebook fan.
3. I blogged about you on one of my blogs: http://becoming-the-change.blogspot.com/ . If you're unable to view it, I can send you an invitation through blogger if you can send me an email address.
4. I added a link to your blog on my other blog under the "Check These People Out" section. http://4get2remember.blogspot.com/ . Same rule applies about the email invitation - I have both of my blogs set to private (looooong story).
Thanks for considering me! :-)
hmm, fav lunch items? It's hard because I change it up so often. But I love simple salad in a tupperware with all sorts of toppings (beans, beets, roasted veggies, red cabbage). And I love steamed sweet potatoes for a lunch addition too!
rachelyperez@gmail.com
Thanks!
Also, I became a follower! thanks again.
One of my favorite childhood lunch items was ham/macaroni soup!
It consists of: chicken broth, cubed ham, peas and corn! Then throw in some cooked macaroni pasta so that it is like a chicken noodle soup type of lunch. It's dee-lish!
Although not that healthy, my mom will sometimes just use a can of Spam instead of ham too.

My daughter absolutely loves it when I pack edamame. Of course it helps that the little prepackaged bags I first bought her had Spongebob Squarepants on them, so she calls them Spongebob beans ^_^ I don't need to buy the prepackaged ones anymore, she's perfectly fine with them being tucked into her bento, but she'll always call them Spongebob beans!

My son's favorite bento is a flax-seed flatbread rolled with honey and sunbutter. On the side he likes an organic yogurt tube, fresh watermelon hearts, and a hard boiled egg. And broccoli. Lots and lots of broccoli.
lol! I'm rather impressed with how much his palate has widened over the years. I still remember his first bento box, when he was two- peanut butter on white bread with no crusts, a cheese stick, and broccoli. (Yes, he's always loved the green stuff.)

I love onigiris! Usually I fill them up with tuna & celery or salmon skin or just mix the rice with some dry shiso leaves. It's a great thing for me because after eating them I feel quite satisfied and won't get cravings as soon as I usually do ^^

My little one loves quesadillas made with sprouted grain tortillas, cheese and spinach. Sometimes I add beans for protein. She adores this for lunch. She loves it even more if I cut into into a fun shape.
And I am a follower on blogger and facebook!
my almost 3 yr old loves sushi rolls (minus the sushi)! usually i just use whatever filling material i have at home (i.e. carrots, cucumber, avocado, meats). i just roll it a little smaller than normal so that it can fit in her little mouth.
on other days, when mommy is super tired, she loves any type of pasta especially good ol' mac n' cheese!
ive become a fan on facebook!!! :)
My daughter loves the Korean Dish, Bibimbop. It has rice, nori, meat, and lots of veggies. Both her and my 19 mos old son love my unfried rice...which is rice with plenty of veggies, a splash of soy sauce, and boca crumbles.
