My Two Days Bento

This is a yesterday’s bento, I have not had a time to post them, till this day. My days are filled with busy taking care of home and children. Make a breakfast, lunch, drove to school, lesson, and swim. And all of it really seized my time and energy. But I always try to set aside the time for myself. So that I do not get caught up in my daily routine boredom. And now I'm put it aside to write this post.

Actually this is the first bento used my new rice mold. I bought it at the online shop, there are four different shape in the packaging a ship, airplane, car, and train. And yesterday my son ask me to made him a ship and airplane bento with the new rice mold. So this is his lunchbox. Inside the box there are rice, carrots, broccoli, snaps, chopped beef steak, potatoes ball, and sausage.

And this is my son today's bento. The brownie bears made from rice wrapped with shredded beef and the white part made from rice. Inside the box there are broccoli, carrot, Shrimp spinach tofu ball, beef corned cheese omelet and friend corn noodles.

Fried Wonton With Apples Filling

Tea time.....I really like snacking, especially at the afternoon. Yesterday, I made this easy snack. I have a wonton skins that have been a few days in the fridge. I usually cooked it with minced chicken as the filling. But I only have Apel Malang which available in my fruits basket. Apel Malang is a local Apple species that have a flavor similar to granny smith apple. If you can't find Apel Malang, you can substitute it with granny smith apple. And surprising...the taste is not bad. I like it, especially the added of ground cinnamon, it give a different smell and sensation in my mouth. Savory from wonton, light sweet from palm sugar, sour from apples and raisins...and the best I love the fragrant comes from ground cinnamon...yummy.... 

Blueberry And Yogurt Oatmeal Muffin

The best way to enjoy oatmeal is combining with other ingredients and created a delicious food. It's according to me, because I love oatmeal but not the plain flavor of it. It must have to combine with other ingredients then I will allow this healthy food throwing to my mouth..^^ . I really love this recipe, so....yummy. I made it for my kids as their meal box for their swimming lesson. This muffin is really suit to accompany your afternoon with a cup of tea or coffee.

Mouse Sausage Bento

Todays bento...still with the simply one. I made the mouse from thinly sliced sausage, it's quietly easy. You need three thinly sliced of sausage, two for the ears and one for the mouse head. The eye and nose of the mouse made from black sesame, and the mustache made from nori. Inside the box there are rice, fried tempe, fried chicken, sausage, chayote saute, and strawberries.

Simple Chocolate Cupcakes and 12 Hen's Bento

Couple days ago, some of my child's friends gathered at my house. I invited them to have a lunch at my house. The kids can play with their friends, and the mothers can chatted with others. At the first, I planed to prepare all the food by my self, but mothers of my son's friends asked me to make a bento for the kids. I didn't need bothering my self to prepare food for the mothers, I only need to prepare the bento for the kids. And they will prepare the food for the mothers. Oh...my, twelve bentos.... could I do it?. I never made a lot of bento before, I always made one or sometime two bentos for my kids, not twelve bentos. So, i planed to make the simplest design but it still looks cute. 

One day before, I made cupcakes for the side dish of the party. I didn't need a long time to make these cupcakes. It's quietly very simple and easy to make.
