Tofu Patty Bento
Last night we had tofu patties for dinner. Little Ms. Bubbles smashed her tofu patties with her corn and rice and called it a masterpiece. I’m not sure she will have enough room in her bento to do the same thing, but she did say it was the best thing she’s ever eaten. 🙂
When I thought about putting this bento together, I had a good idea of what I was going to do on the top tier. But for the bottom tier, with the veggies and fruit, I had no idea. At first I was going to just throw the peas in, but then thought it would be too messy. So, I found a heart container that I usually use for sauces on the side. I then placed the strawberries in the bento and was left with a tiny space on the bottom. I really wasn’t sure what I was going to put there. If I had time, I would have put some carrots, but I was rushing out the door. So I looked in my cabinet for anything that would fit. I decided on pretzels, but didn’t want them to touch the strawberries because they’d get soggy. Hence… the elephant food divider (although, you can’t see the elephant). A lot of times I put these colorful dividers in a bento to add a bit of cuteness, but this time I actually used it for a purpose. The musical touch was added at the VERY last minute (right before I took the picture) because the peas looked too naked. It was sitting on my counter so I threw it in.
