Everyone Loves A Bento

So this past weekend was papa bears birthday and for his birthday we bought the girls a pool. So on Saturday while him and the girls were splashing around and having fun I made everyone including papa bear a bento. Even though I had bought a box for him months ago, this was the first time actually making him one.

Last week on Susan's blog Hawaii's Bento Box Cookbook she made the most adorable and delicious looking mini owl biscuits. I loved the idea and planned to make the biscuits for the girls. However I could not find the regular sized biscuits so I went with Croissant rolls. Defiantly not as perfect as hers, but were supper yummy. I filled ours with ham and cheddar cheese...yummmm!

The girls and papa bear had cheese, fruit, veggies and leftover b-day cake in their boxes and papa bear had some fantastic brown rice chips we just found at Costco. In my Easy Lunch Boxes container I had my ham & cheese croissant with a spinach/pasta salad, baby carrots and snacking heirloom tomatoes. The dressing on my salad is this amazing Cranberry, Walnut and Gorgonzola from Trader Joe's and the little cheddar fish's has the perfect sharpness to match the sweetness of the dressing. My girlfriend Sarah turned me onto it and now I can not stop eating it on everything!
