Hello, Easter Bunny! Bok Bok!

There’s nothing like the balmy 50’s after a blizzard to make you think that maybe the ground hog wasn’t just blowing sunshine up your skirt when he said Spring would be faster this year than Lindsay Lohan’s torrential tears in a felony court case.

But enough about potentially drugged up dwellers of the underworld, let’s dish bento.

The top container holds ripped up romaine and iceberg lettuce, topped with strips of shredded cheddar, chopped onion, sliced black olives and diced tomatoes. I know. You want to dip into that action. But wait. There’s more.

The bottom container contains all the snazz in the form of major adorableness. This is the kind of stuff that makes kids at heart go squee. That little green elephant container is filled with about 2Tbsp of cucumber ranch (one of the few without MSG), and the green beans are for dippin’, since they’re a fun, french fry type of addition. To the right is the pepperoni in little rounds. Those can either be tossed into the salad or enjoyed with the green beans.

Oh. What? You want to know about that rabbit? That adorable little bunny taking center stage in the bento that about made us scream like little girls when we saw it?

This is known as an egg mold. Huge in Japan, and a bento accessory, I’ve talked about these in the past, but I really had a Jonesing to break this little pink beauty out again for the magic.

And when you open the magic, pink form you get:

Funny Bunny

So there you have it. Perhaps one of the cutest low carb gluten free bento lunches ever. Whether it’s for your nine year old, or you secretly made it for yourself, you’ll never tell. And what does it matter? If you can’t make food fattening, at least make it fun.

From Your Lighter Side,
