Bento #196

Homemade pork dumplings, carrot sticks, lite ranch dip in the Hello Kitty container, marshmallow frog Prince and raisins.

Maisie ate everything but one carrot stick. When I asked why she left just one piece of carrot she informed me that she ran out of dip so she couldn't eat it. Funny little girl!

Why bento?

Maisie used to be an extremely picky eater and three to five days a week I had to pack a lunch for her to take to camp or school. Because she was so picky, I starting packing bentos in an attempt to make her lunches more interesting, appetizing and hopefully more appealing while providing food that was healthy for her along with being something she wanted to and would eat. She's now a much better and far less picky eater but she loves her bentos and they make her feel special and loved so I continue to make them for her.
