Hello Kitty Bentos and Albertsons Giveaway Winners

I don't remember how and when Hello Kitty became Clarise and Cherlin's favorite. But it is and they really love anything Hello Kitty...from bags, clothes and toys to small stuff like hair and fashion accessories, as well as stationeries and key chains.

Since I started bento-ing, I've been trying to find Hello Kitty bento accessories, and so far, these are all I got...a sandwich box, sauce/side dish/snack cups and two cutters.

I found the cutters three weeks ago at Party City and I've been using it frequently since then. I guess the girls really enjoy seeing Hello Kitty in their lunch boxes that's why they request Hello Kitty shaped food almost everyday! 

Today, I'm sharing with you some of the Hello Kitty Bentos I made. Clarise and Cherlin loved them...maybe your little girls will! (^.^)

Bento #28:  Hello Kitty Mac & Cheese Bento

What's in it: Mac & Cheese, chicken nuggets, American cheese and fruit salad

This is just a simple chicken nuggets and mac & cheese combo. I just topped the mac & cheese with Hello Kitty face shaped white American cheese. I used regular yellow American cheese for the bow & whiskers.

Bento #29:  Hello Kitty Egg and Chicken Cordon Bleu Bento

What's in it: Fried rice with mixed vegetables, over easy egg, chicken cordon bleu and brownies

The girls really loved the chicken cordon bleu from Cherlin's party and they requested to bring it for school lunch last Monday. I packed it with mixed vegetables fried rice topped with Hello Kitty face shaped over easy egg. I used turkey bacon strips for the whiskers, green peas for the eyes and nose, and Chinese chorizo and corn for the bow.

Bento #30:  Hello Kitty Fried Rice Bento

What's in it: Fried rice with egg and mixed vegetables, fried Chinese chorizo and cathedral window

For this one, I molded the meat and vegetables fried rice into Hello Kitty face, and used carrots for the whiskers, green peas for the eyes and nose, and Chinese chorizo for the bow.

Bento #31:  Hello Kitty Sandwich Bento

What's in it: Ham and cheese sandwich, turkey bacon & carrots mini kabobs, and madeleines / chocolate

Here, I used the whole body Hello Kitty cutter to shape the sandwich. I tried adding a shirt for Hello Kitty, but I know I didn't do good. It kinda looked weird for me...but the girls said it's cute. I really don't know if I should believe them! What do you think?
