@Mrs. Bee: I am very interested about goat's milk now. I noticed your bottle has probiotic on it, is it added in? Have you tasted it? How does it taste compared to cow's milk?

I'll have to take a better picture using the tips for next time, this is from yesterday. This is first bento after being sick for a few days so I tried to load it up with lots of juicy foods to make sure he was staying hydrated.

Owen, 9 months old
Grapefruit, peach, yogurt, all-natural applesauce

@Mrs. Bee: I am super interested in the cultured goats milk! Did you buy that at a specialty store?

LO is 13 months old.

Organic peas w/organic grassfed butter.
Organic Korean yogurt drink.
Clementine.
Dr Praegers Spinach Littles
Sweet potato tots

@zippyleaf: the tortellini looks so yummy - I want it for myself. Did you buy it at a store?

@prettylizy: I love your flower cups! Those are sooo cute!

Today's Bento:

Owen, 10 months

Pumpkin pancakes, peach, yogurt melts, Asian pears, sweet potatoes

M is 11months old in a few days!

Homemade rotisserie chicken with saute roasted yams & kale and cantaloupe for lunch.
Afternoon snack of coconut milk yogurt & raspberries.

Our first bento!

LO is 23 months and on a limited diet. We have sunflower seed butter, okra "fries" (sliced and roasted), kale chips, potato bears, freeze dried bananas, and roasted brussel sprouts.

@regberadaisy: I do them at 350 and for about 15 min, but depending in their size and how much oil is on them they may take more or less time. Dry them off after washing before tossing in oil also helps. Make sure they are crispy or cool enough when you close the container or they will get chewy from the moisture/steam (you can fix it by re-baking).

@Mrs. Bee: I could try to! What would you like it to include? Just the foods he eats or how we prepare/store them? So many possibilities! Some of his foods are a little out there for a toddler...okra and nearly everything we make, except the freeze dried stuff. We also make a bunch in advance and freeze in portions, like his salmon (he's refusing it currently), but we pre-cooked it and froze in an acceptable portion size.

@Mrs. Bee: Sounds good! I'll try to get on that ASAP

@Mrs. Bee: the snail is too cute!

E, 18 months: asparagus, egg, seaweed rice cubes, chicken, shiitake mushroom, grapes, muenster cheese
H, 4.5 yr: same but no mushrooms.

Chicken with orzo, great northern beans, corn & tomatoes and blueberries for lunch.
Afternoon snack of baked falafel fingers with applesauce an oranges.

Panko crusted pork loin with kale and local, organic peaches canned over the summer.
Afternoon snack if edamame and raspberries.

My first bento! LO is 10.5 months old. Sweet potato, hummus, pita, asparagus and broccoli, pasta, and yogurt melts. She only ate the sweet potatoes and yogurt melts, but tried everything else several times. We're going through a picky phase right now, so that made me happy. She had a fruit and protein heavy breakfast, so we skipped those for lunch.

here's today's!
strawberries and raspberries, blueberry greek yogurt, clementines, tuna salad, avocados with garlic powder, cheese and crackers.

My first bento!

White cheddar cheese, blueberry Greek yogurt, bananas, quinoa cooked in vegetable stock and sautéed spinach.
