Putting this bento together was less about making a pretty bento and more about cleaning out the fridge. I used the last of the ham, mini sub rolls, cherries, cucumber, and carrots. It wasn’t quite enough to fill the box so I added some salami rolls and red sweet peppers to pack everything tight.

I’m so happy today is Friday! It’s been a tough week and ended with me having to stay home today because I was sick. Nothing serious, just some tummy issues. I think I needed the break mentally as well. I’m looking forward to a long weekend of relaxation, friends, crafts, and lots and lots of sleep.

Have a great weekend!

Happy Bento-ing!

It’s Friday again! Yay! To top it off, it’s a 3-day weekend too! I’m only a smidgen excited, lol.

This week’s Finger Food Friday was my Mom’s idea. I called her for inspiration because I had “bento block” and she suggested kabobs. Brilliant! We had big kabobs for dinner and I made some small ones for lunch. They have chicken, tomatoes, zucchini, and yellow squash. I also made some grape kabobs and 2-bite rice cups with pickled plums. The sauce in the middle is a quick dipping sauce for the kabobs: sour cream, salsa, and chopped cilantro.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Bento-ing!
