3 Bento #90 - Waffle-Bagel Ladybug

We have a sweet lunch today - it's a cinnamon raisin bagel that I've toasted in the waffler, and then spread with PB&J.

Bento #90 - Waffled cinnamon-raisin bagel with organic sugar-free peanut butter and organic strawberry preserves, steamed broccoli and cauliflower.

Waffling the bagel makes it easier to eat because it's squashed flat and toasty.  Take a look!

Butter each side of a halved bagel and place onto a hot waffle iron (I use the hottest setting on mine.)

Then close the top and squeeeeeze until the plates meet.

Let it run a full cycle - on my Villaware it beeps when it's done, and the green light flashes.  Voila!

Toasty, buttery and delicious!

0 Bento # 24 - Bagel Pizza & Spinach

E really wanted pizza, and I was going to bake her a margherita pizza from Trader Joe's, but it turns out Mommy hasn't bought any in a while. Usually we have all kinds of things in our big freezer, and I was sure we had at least one, but alas. Still, she likes when we make bagel pizzas together, and I normally use English muffins or bagels. I had whole wheat bagels in the fridge, so that's what we used, along with jarred spaghetti sauce and a square slice of colby cheese.

Bento #24 - Whole wheat bagel pizza with jarred mushroom spaghetti sauce, and fresh baby spinach

On the other hand, my lunch was fresh guacamole with sweet baby pepper strips.  Yumm! (Yeah, it's kinda brown in spots, but that's because I made it last night so the flavors could meld.  No biggie!)
