Here is today's bento: cucumbers and roasted red pepper hummus, strawberries, pesto pasta (leftovers from dinner out), and a hard boiled egg.
And PSA, the cute stackable bento box is from Target -- $3.99! It was on one of the end caps in the kitchen/housewares section. There were some other cute containers, too! -

-

Here is today's Bento for my growing boy, 32 year old DH.

@Mrs. Cowgirl: I got the little snack one with the area for sauces/dips. Perfect for sunflower butter! Only $1.79!
@yin: These look great! How does your LO like hearts of palm?! It is one of my favorites
@regberadaisy: Where did you get your silicone cups? I love their shape! Are they naturally shaped like that? I also adore your use of the jar for soups!
@delight: Hilarious! Yes you got all the food groups
-
@anbanan15: yup, they're oval shaped. They were on Pick Your Plum a few weeks ago. And the jar is a glass jar that a local dairy sells their yogurt in! Haha it's a perfect soup size for M and perfect for reheating!
-
@regberadaisy: how do you get your lo to drink soup? do you put the soup in a sippy or a bottle?
-
@lavender: we feed her the soup with a spoon. One of the deeper Gerber ones? She LOVES soup. Can have soup all week and be content.
