bento

I made the kids an Easter lunch today, fruit served in an egg shape with egg shaped french toast and cheese cut out like bunnies- I hear you, who cares ( and why bother?!). Our kids love thins kind of thing as a surprise from time to time and I love seeing happy smiley kids at meal times.

 
Bento (弁当 bentō) is a single-portion takeout or home-packed meal common in Japanese cuisine. A traditional bento consists of rice, fish or meat, and one or more pickled or cooked vegetables, usually in a box-shaped container. It is still common for Japanese homemakers to spend time and energy for their spouse, child, or themselves producing a carefully prepared lunch box.

what kid wouldn't want to eat that?

Here is a website I like that has about 170 lunchboxes displayed on it- great when there's no bread in the house or if something new/ different is needed.
