Happy Halloween Hop

The Bento Bloggers and Friends are all very excited to share their awesome Halloween lunches to get everyone in the spirit of the season.  Follow the hop at the bottom of this post.





















Our main entree is a Halloween pasta salad.  We used Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Halloween pasta
(saved the cheese packet for popcorn) and added a little bit of food coloring to the water when cooking.  We added some light Italian dressing, orange peppers, black olives and a cheesy provolone ghosts to the top.

Our vegetable side is golden beets cut into pumpkin shapes with a mini cookie cutter.  (yes, the girls like beets...Mama too!)

Our fruit side is a clementine that has been peeled and embellished with our food safe markers to make it look like a jack-o-lantern.

Finally, our dairy/dessert is vanilla yogurt...made into a scary spider eyeball with a chocolate ball and some strawberry pieces.  We also added a few pieces of candy corn and 2 mini candy pumpkins to the fruit compartment as a special Halloween inspired treat.

ps - we used the orange lids on our Easy Lunch Boxes to make it even more Halloweenie!

Hop along to see what Bobbi has stirred up at Bobbi's Bentos!
