Fruit of the Sea Bento

This lunch was a big giant scoop of joy for me.  My amazing friend Julie from Washington State sent me those adorable Japanese picks that I've been eyeing for a long time.  They are so precious and my boys loved them!

The main dish was the Shrimp Primavera leftover from dinner the night before.  Thankfully the boys have a microwave at school to warm it a few seconds.  I got the shrimp for $4.99 in a bag of 50 jumbo shrimp a month ago at King Soopers.  I'm almost done with the bag.  We've probably had 3 meals from that bag, so that was a good protein value.  The upper right box was a mish mash of the end of bags in our pantry.  There were some leftover peanuts, multi grain crackers and goldfish.  Goldfish seemed to go with the theme.  The berry salad was a total steal from Target.  They had berries on sale and even though the strawberries were a little pale and sour looking, the boys ate them up.  The yogurt was a coupon deal and I think I got the yogurts for $.20 a piece and I'm able to get two servings out of it.

Here is Coopers breakfast treat.  He is so picky, but he will eat pretty much anything that is served in cute containers.  He was mystified and adoring of the picks.  All hail Julie's picks!

Now that I've pretty much emptied out all the fruit and pantry of crackers etc., it's time to go grocery shopping!
