In Like a Lion!

Welcome March!! The promise of spring approaches and I have the faith, even though I'm surrounded by snow! Lol! The saying goes "If March comes in like a lion, it will go like a lamb" So though it's cold and snowy now I'm hoping for warm breezes and super sunny skies soon! So the Lion of March's arrival is today's theme!



I've redone the fabulously gifted Natakiya's of Bento Anarchy lion pancake bento. See her amazing work here. She is so amazing with her ideas and precise layout (which isn't my strong point and I desperately want to practice and improve; so I know who my guru's are! Lol!!  In my Lion pancake bento we have:
  • A lion pancake made from Finnish carrot pancakes. They're really soft in texture and slightly sweet.
  • Green grapes with the March Lion and Lamb picks
  • Diced apple in a silicone cup
  • beef sausages
  • A quail egg decorated with a leaf pick and a carrot flower
For Lunch we continued the Lion and the promise of Spring theme:

In this muffin tin lunch we have:
  • A lion made from toast and chicken nuggets
  • Steamed broccoli with cute Spring icon picks
  • Spring comes salad, with a tomato fairy, carrot flowers,lettuce and blue cheeses salad dressing
  • Blueberry soup with cream stirred in.
  • Sliced apples and a big strawberry
  • Milk to drink
She's going though a growth spurt lately because she ate so so well! I am so proud of her!

  5. Oh, I love the lion in your muffin tin - he's so cute! I like the little fairy too - might have to think about what I can make one of those out of (my girl won't eat tomato).

  6. Thanks Sugary! Yes sometimes disguises work, but don't worry too much if it doesn't; she'll eat tons of tomatoes in sauces and pizza later and maybe eat full on plain tomatoes one day...Missy Lulu was like that!
