Shoestring Bento: Leftovers

Today’s shoestring bento was made with leftovers. My son liked the meal so much he asked for it in his lunch the following day! I had some trouble thinking of something “cute” to make with the leftovers, so I opted instead for orderly.

One thing I love about the Easy Lunchboxes is the large compartment is shaped like a square and can fit four Wilton square silicone cups in it (though I only used three for this lunch). I love that they keep foods separate so they don’t flop all over each other.

In case you didn’t notice, there is a new player in this lunch. I added the Easy Lunchboxes Dip Container to the Shoestring Bento Lineup. I figured it wasn’t really cheating since it’s an inexpensive add on to the Easy Lunchbox (though full disclosure, Kelly from Easy Lunchboxes sent it to me). And, well, it’s my party and I can add what I want to. Right? (Besides, I needed a leak proof container to hold the ketchup. So there ya go.)

The line up:

In this lunch:

Wheat Thin Crackers
Green Apples
Trader Joe’s Organic Ketchup
Organic Celery
Organic Baby Carrots
Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Almond Coconut Chicken

This lunch was served in Easy Lunch Boxes. The silicone cups used were from Wilton. I used a knife to cut the apple and veggies.
