Mothering Corner

It’s been awhile since I last packed sweet potatoes for my kids. My boy loves it, but my gal is on a food strike, so I’m not sure if she will take her bento. She ate some of her meal yesterday, but she didn’t finish everything I’d packed. Thus, I hope that she’s willing to eat more today.

Something simple for my gal, with corn, sweet potato, strawberries, guava and persimmon.

I decorated the sweet potato as Rilakkuma.

The sweet potato was cut with Rilakkuma cutter, and the nose was cut from hard boiled egg white. I placed 2 small bits of ham as ears. My boy didn’t want the arms and legs, so I didn’t add any limb for Rilakkuma. I added a little tail for him instead, as if it’s lying on its tummy.
