Notes: Man, this lunch is loaded with fruits and veggies. I know my son would absolutely devour this, and I think most younger kids would as well, before they become too attached to sugar and fat. Shannon made this for her 4 year old son.

Notes: These bento style lunches seem to be very popular these days. They are certainly a far cry from the bologna sandwiches and carrot sticks I ate growing up. Perhaps this is something my wife and I will have to try when our kids are old enough for school.

Contents: Potato, peas, some sort of pudding, and your guess is as good as mine on the last item. I do know, however, that it isn't meat, as this is a vegetarian dish.
