Shoestring Bento: Christmas Tree
Eight and half hours in a van with three small boys…I’ll just let that sink in for a few seconds. So who can blame me for ordering pizza after we got home? Since we had some leftovers (and I had a semi-empty fridge) pizza for lunch sounded great too!
I wanted to play a little more with holiday lunches, and when I looked at the pizza, it hit me! Throw a star on top and there’s a tree! So there you go.
In this lunch:
Dion’s Pizza
Trader Joes Yogurt Star
Organic Celery
Organic Baby Carrots
Pretzel Sticks
Pear Tree
This lunch was served in Easy Lunch Boxes. The star cookie cutter used was the Wilton linzer cutter. I used a knife to trim the pizza a bit and cut the pear.
*In case you don’t want to go to the store and prefer shopping from home, here are a list of links to the items I’m using for shoestring bento. These are affiliate links. If you choose to buy from my links, I get a small percentage.
I love the simple ways you added cuteness to this lunch. Pizza is also popular here for lunch, dinner, or anytime.
