Christian Youth Theatre Camp bentos-a-go-go

Since our homeschool group season is over we've not had many opportunities for using our bento gear. However, summer camps have started and things will be picking up again.

This week kiddo (turning 11 in July!) has been going daily from 9a-3p to CYT camp. I pack her lunch in a Laptop Lunch Box and a snack in one of the bento boxes on hand. Campers were given the opportunity to buy a "snack card" for a week's worth of snacks but DD and I thought it would be better to have her bring her own snacks. Anyway, here is what her meals were for the week (Friday is a Pizza party so no lunch/snack packing required.)

-MONDAY LUNCH-
Brown rice balls with soy sauce fish,
string cheese, ham roll-ups, and Goldfish crackers, and ham/lettuce/mustard roll-up
apple chunks, cauliflower, cucumber flowers, and ranch dip

-MONDAY SNACK-
Butter-flavored pretzel sticks (from my sister, stationed in Japan! Thanks seester!)
Two tiiny tubs of sunflower seeds, jell-o, homemade granola bar, piece of Japanese candy.

-Tuesday Lunch and Snack-
LUNCH--
(New pink, multi-piece bento box set, again from my wonderful seester!)
Ham roll-ups, shaker of paramesan cheese, vegetable spiral pasta w/ garlic blend on it
Cucumber flowers, carrots, and green peppers, apple wedges, mini green grapes, string cheese, and tiny tub of sunflower seeds
SNACK-- Fruit leather, Japanese gel cup, homemade granola bar

-Wednesday Lunch-
Fresh veggies, jell-o
Brown rice ball w/ soy sauce fish
Apple wedges
Ham, lettuce, mustard tortilla roll-ups
100 calorie brownie


-Wednesday Snack-
In our newest bento box (thanks seester!)...
Yogurt raisins, blueberry oatmeal square, mini green grapes
Homemade granola/dried fruit mix with Koala cookies
and cute little orange carrot scoop to scoop up the granola!

-Thursday Lunch-
Fresh veggies and grapes, string cheese, chicken roll-ups
Vanilla yogurt with rainbow butterfly sprinkles
Vegetable spiral pasta with garlic blend and parmesan shaker

-Thursday Snack-
Dried fruit, jell-o and Koala cookies with buttery-pretzels.



As you can see, nothing fancy. She truly is one for more simple lunches. I made up the pasta and rice balls early so they were both handy to include in the lunches. They're both favorites of hers. She really liked the tortilla roll-ups this week. Heck, she liked it all she said. (I had no doubt she would.) In case you're wondering, when we're at home many of our lunches are from previous nights' leftovers, but for camp this week I needed something that could be eaten cold (kept cold with freezer "blue ice" in the lunch pack. The jell-o cups I made kept fine at room temperature since I made them "jiggler quality" instead of normal jell-o quality so it wouldn't turn watery.

Can you make lunches for ME? :) Those look far from very simple and extremely yummy. My middle daughter has been Chrisitan Youth Theater this last year, although I think we are skipping out on summer camp this year. But, she has had a blast!

What is the name of those koala cookies? My son use to get some like that years ago and we haven't seen them in forever!

Koala cookies...

Posted by PeakmoreAcademy
Well the ones I have now are from Japan and thus, all writing is in Japanese. However, ones I see around here (saw them today as a matter of fact at World Market, but rather pricey!) are in English... but, I didn't note a name for them. However, I just added them to my Amazon store, so at the very least you can go there and looksie. If you feel inclined to buy some, there'll you'll be. HTH.

simple plain lunch...where?????

I think I am going to go to the Oriental store to look for bento boxes. They are EXTREMELY cute. Not to mention, my daughter is the type where "a" can't touch "b". In fact, you can't even start "b" until "a" is finished. (Ha, ha lunchtime algebra)
