Flowery Bento

A cucumber stem and leaves supports a strawberry flower atop a chicken-craisin salad that sits on a bed of lettuce. The new egg molds work great -- here is the car, next to a Weight Watchers mini bar, Laughing cow cheese and a Wasa cracker.

Orange quarters are topped with sugared cake flowers for dessert. I count 10 Weight Watchers Plus Points, and it was quite filling.

The chicken craisin salad is my own creation. I mixed about 2T of Helman's Light with a cup of shredded broccoli slaw, 2 oz of chicken chunks and about 1/4C craisins, for 2 servings. I topped it with celery seed for a little extra flavor.

Linking today to What's For Lunch Wednesday's.

Lion & Lamb Bento

I had lunch plans these last 2 days, so last night I was back to the Bento-making, with some new tools and picks. I found both a lion and a lamb pick to bring in the month of March. Aren't they cute?

Lion & Lamb Bento features a black bean soup with Havarti cheese petals, cottage cheese with cumquat flowers, strawberries and a Wasa cracker. You can see the little cutters I used on the right. I also got some new "sushi grass" which is a plastic divider between the cottage cheese and strawberries. The cottage cheese tasted delicious from the cumquat "infusion" and the Havarti melted and complemented the soup quite nicely! Only 8 weight watchers points-plus.

Red-Headed Asian Bento!

TGIF! Tomorrow's Bento features an Oriental theme with porkloin, slaw with sesame oil & almonds, and sticky rice, featuring the "red-headed Asian," (that's a private joke that my dear Husband would find humorous - his personal Holy Grail) with a Nori bowtie. Yogurt with blueberries and a Weight Watcher's treat that really does taste like thin mints! By the way, if you're counting, that's 13 WW Plus Points, but the whole Bento will cover me for lunch plus morning & afternoon snacks! Mmmmm Bento!
