Extreme Bento-ing

Vintage tins can make charming bento boxes, whether for everyday or maybe a special spring picnic.

Grab a book, a blanket, your journal and pack a tasty lunch. Then head out to the backyard or over to a park or maybe your local botanical gardens.

I layered smoked ham, avocado and tomato on a buttermilk biscuit, leftover from Sunday brunch. A touch of dijon mustard adds a little zing.

Cute food picks add a little whimsy to a simple bowl of strawberries.

For dessert how about an oatmeal cookie & Nutella sandwich...! A yum.

Just for fun here is a look at the snack bento I made for a pool tournament I played in last weekend (finished 3rd). I like to have some healthy choices handy, cause I never know when I will have a break or when my blood sugar might drop. I especially love these mini wheels of goat cheese from Trader Joe's. 

P.S. Don't miss on this weeks kawaii handbag giveaway, not much time left!
