Made the Cat Bus from Totoro for today. I think one day during the year end holidays, I'm going to make a big Totoro lunch box with all the characters. :)

Brown rice for the cat bus and Chibi Totoro is made out of quail egg. Other food are chicken patties, beef veggie rolls and strawberries.

Oh so cute again! I love the cat bus! You are so creative! And your dinner and lunch are looking always so yummy! :)
ReplyDeleteTk u so much for ur sweet comments, Maya. :)
DeleteNo more lurking for me! Haha! Cat bus looks wonderful and I love how you add perfect details to just everything! Question??? Do you normally base your boys lunch from last night dinner or do you make separate lunch menus weekly? May I ask also what your meal planning time looks like? Just trying to find a good organized system!
ReplyDeleteYay, glad to see u back, missed ur bentos!! :) It depends, sometimes yes, I just keep part of the marinated ingredients from one dish for dinner n cook it in the morning. Other times, I keep part of ingredients but cook it a different way. N I do plan out what to cook for lunch/dnr for next 2/3 days, so I can write out a shopping list on what to buy. Else I will end up missing a lot of stuff when shopping, my memory is tt bad these days. :(
DeleteAnd Monday bentos are always cook using something from my freezer stash. Because I usually dun cook or do marketing on wkends. I cook more at times for food like meatballs, patties n nuggets n keep them as freezer stash for times like this.
DeleteTotoro is so cute, put a smile to my face this morning :) I also like the polka dot red dish with your yummy pasta. Enjoy your one week break with your handsome kids!
ReplyDeleteTk u so much, Rina. :))
