0 Bento #277 - "I Made It" New Series and Linky

This is the first in a little series I'd like to call "I Made It" - lunches made by Ella herself! After all, she's a mature second-grader now. :-) I really love that she is interested in healthy eating, and making her own food.  Encouraging good food choices starts early.  And hey...gives me a little break once in a while! We might even make this a weekly thing.  Ella also is taking her own pictures, which she loves!

Her entree is garlic-buttered egg noodles tossed with fresh cherry tomatoes and cucumbers, topped with grated parmesan cheese.

Her favorite melons.

And the carrot-berry smoothies we made together.

Bento #277 - Egg noodles, cucumbers, tomatoes, cantaloupe, watermelon and a smoothie.

2 Bento #193 - Egg Fried Rice & Corn off the Cob

This is the second-to-last school bento of the year!  I can't believe school is out on Wednesday.  Wow!  And a big congrats to my baby sis who graduated yesterday from UMD with her Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism! 

We got two nice ears of organic yellow corn in our CSA basket this week.  Delicious!  It's kind of a rarity in our house because corn is really starchy, but it was nice for a change, very sweet.  The rice is leftover restaurant fare, not my usual, but E liked it. It's just got egg in it, which makes this bento vegetarian.

So, when is your last day of school?  Any vacation plans?
