30-dozen...

...is a really big number of cookies....

...even when they are small cookies.

Menu, revisited

Alright, after some discord from the general masses...

I revamped my 3-month rotating menu a bit.

Personally, it is the same menu copied three times...

BUT, I needed to adapt Thursday, which are "grrrr" evenings for me

and

I need to make the point that I'm ONLY having corn bread twice a month.

Rolled lasagna... for the freezer.

I love making food for the freezer.  

It means when the week is busy I can just yank a good meal out of the freezer and cook!

A's Totoro bento

 

Bento breakfast

A takes bentos to work for breakfast and lunch and duty days.  I thought I would share a few bentos with you all.

Leftover cheddar bacon chicken cut into bites.

  

Leftover rice.

 

Small breakfast bento boxes, Lucky Pig of course!

 

And Totoro for a lunch.

Rice forms for fun.

 

Smash some rice into the bottom of the rice form, add a few bites of chicken.

 

Smash some more rice on top of the chicken.
 
 
 

Place the lid on the rice form and smash!

Place rice form in bento!

       

Add something else...

...in a smaller form.

Other rice forms...

 

 

 

Not a pretty presentation, but eatable!
