Little Monster Snacks

You can tell by this post that my banner and name was largely inspired by the lunch box above. It's my daughter's but I'll admit I like to use it too. What we have here is my little monster's snack bento for daycare. I mostly stick to fresh fruits, veggies, and organic yogurt or milk as her treat when I pack. The contents of the lunch box contains 1 organic horizon yo kids yogurt, 1 banana, and a small bento filled with apple rabbits, blackberries, and strawberries.

Ed Psych Bento

 Most of my personal bentos happen only one to two nights a week, but mostly it occurs when I have my Educational Psychology class for my master's degree in teaching ( art ed to be exact). I really try to fill up on veggies and fruits while I'm in class and I'm lucky enough to get a decent break to eat during my three hour adventures while I'm there once a week.

Contents of Bento: Broccolli, Carrots, small side spinach salad with alfalfa sprouts, tuna sandwich (covered by hard boiled egg), bagel chips, strawberries, orange, Japanese custard treat, and organic garlic ranch dressing.

A food confessional

This is the food musings, confessional, thoughts, and random bento making blog of one Mommy Monster aka Katie. I have seen the best and worst of food as a mother, student, and a teacher in the public school system. My diet used to be at the whim of whatever I could find and filled with lots of caffeine and pure junk. It was only within the last year that my diet and body came at odds and I had to make a choice between my sanity and health or not being in a good place.
