my first bad bentos

so, nothing to be too proud of, but I'll try to add photos of my first two bento lunches I did for my kids. Not great, but its a start...

ok, I'm lisa and I'm a blogging newbie so pardon me as I learn both blogging and bento-ing simultaneously. Now that I'm a mom and have to actually cook things for people to eat all the time, I've discovered a new passion for bentos and the art of lunch. My son, who is 4, hates everything except dinosaur shaped chicken, mac n cheese, and bananas. We've tried calling green beans green french fries, peas are called green berries, anything with cheese near it is called a quesedilla... you get the idea. Picky. My 2 yr old daughter on the other hand loves everything from indian food to capers (she didn't get that from me!) So, my need to feed met my passion for cute little things and the need to make art of some form. Voila, bento! I fell in love. So, with a modest beginning and my big german hands (well, in comparison to the japanese bento masters, I'm sasquatch), I'm off on my new venture. I'll post as many pics as I can, even if they're bad... bare with me!
