Bento # 8

As soon as school starts for my youngest, I'll have to prepare kid's bentos - how cute.
Needless to say, my son is eager to try them and begged to have some already.


That's kid bento #1:




This is a really simple one - Nutella sandwiches (dino shape), red pepper slices and 2 mini chocolate muffins. Well - start small - grow as you go, hm

Cooking

We planted 7 cucumber plants this year and they are really thriving!
For 2 weeks now we are picking at least 4 of them daily - and they're huge.
I decided to use a batch of them to make pickled cucumbers - a nice recipe using honey, ginger and chilli for just a few of the jars.




We can't wait to try them!

Bento # 7

It's a busy time just now - so much to prepare for my son's school start - as well as summer school holiday in our part of Germany. Only 1 week until we're actually off for our summer holiday as well - I can't wait!


Not many bento's during the last week - but I had the chance to prepare a few - so let's see number 7:




Bottom tier: cheese tortellini with home-grown spinach pesto
Top tier: heart-shaped egg, sausage slices, apricots and a chocolate treat.
