Festival of Lights Bento
Today's Holiday Photo
As the Jewish Festival of Lights comes to a close, we decided to get creative with this menorah-inspired bento lunch. We hope you enjoy this festive bento as much as we did. Happy Holidays!
Menu
Cream Cheese and Lox Sandwich on Whole Wheat Bread
Swiss and Cheddar Cheese "Candles"
Dried Cranberries and Cucumber Peel
Cinnamon Rice Pudding
Orange Slices
Preparation Notes
Smear softened cream cheese onto a piece of whole wheat bread and top with fresh lox.
Get creative. Since we were in the holiday spirit, we dressed up our sandwich with candles and flames made out of Swiss and cheddar cheese. The candle base is decorated with dried cranberries and peeled cucumber.
Make cinnamon rice pudding for your medium lidded container. We used this healthier version: http://www.food.com/recipe/Heart-Healthy-Cinnamon-Rice-Pudding-295019.
Add orange slices to your remaining medium container.

Hanukkah Inspired Bento Lunch
Today's Holiday Photo
Traditional Hanukkah menus often include latkes as a way to symbolize the drop of oil that burned for 8 days and 8 nights following the rededication of the holy temple. Over the years, these traditional potato pancakes have evolved to become extremely versatile and can now be found in a number of variations. Although there are many options available, we decided to keep our latkes traditional and served them with sour cream and apple berry sauce as part of this fun and tasty holiday lunch.
Menu
•Vegetarian Chick'n Burger with Melted Cheese
•Potato Latkes
•Sour Cream
•Carrots and Red Pepper Strips
•Apple Berry Sauce
Preparation Notes
Use a basic vegetarian chick'n burger recipe such as the following: http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/vegetarian-faux-chicken-patties/Detail.aspx. We shaped our patties into dreidels for this holiday meal before frying and added cheese to the top after flipping. We put our dreidel in the extra large container along with lettuce and tomatoes.
Make traditional potato latkes for the extra large container. We used the following recipe: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Potato-Latkes-104406.
Put sour cream into your dip container and add it to the extra large container as well.
Fill your medium lidded container with apple berry sauce to either be enjoyed with your latkes or as a sweet dessert.
Cut carrot and red pepper strips for your other medium container.
