on the round

I liked this bento a lot. It was fun to put together. It's pretty simple but it was good. I like bentos because they can bring together several simple ingredients to make a tasty meal.

I used rice crackers and peanut butter to make little sandwiches. The crackers said that the only ingredients were rice, water, and salt, but Curtis was looking at the package later and said that it may have traces of dairy in it. I guess that they are manufactured in a facility that also handles dairy products/powder. I won't buy that brand again, and I hope that these crackers were uncontaminated.

The kids really liked the little sandwiches and I like the taste of rice crackers (like rice cakes.) The snap peas went well in the bento and were very easy to get ready. I just washed them and snapped then end/tough string off of them and popped them in. I put some orange slices in there for color and flavor and added some pinto beans to finish up the meal. I got the idea of adding a little portion of beans from
our bento cookbook. I really like the helpful little ideas in the book!
