Something Is Fishy on Muffin Tin Monday

I found those Pepperidge Farm fish shaped sandwich thins again on sale - $1.50 for a package of 8.  I grabbed them up and incorporated them into an ocean themed bento lunch for Pierce.
He had a cheese sandwich with mustard nestled in roasted seaweed from Trader Joe's - cut with kitchen scissors to look even more like seaweed!  Pierce loves the seaweed too, although I think I've eaten too much and now I'm a little over it.

Apples on a crab skewer, olives on a seahorse skewer, and a star full of mango crunchies rounded out the bento.  Oh wait, what about that little guy in the middle?  Oh yes, that's dessert!  A little marshmallow gingerbread man, riding the ocean waves.

    Very cute... and seaweed is very alkalizing so it is something I can eat.

    That is so creative! I have wanted to buy that bread for hailey but it seems pricy. We usually stick to the generic wheat. I may need to splurge one week and see what hailey thinks. :)

    I hope you have a great week!

    For some reason I couldn't post my comment on the last post:
    I want to be healthy and stick around for grandkids - to enjoy them and be of service to my kids some day. I enjoy the feeling of accomplishment I get from working out! You inspire me Lisa.

    Also I've never seen those Pepperidge Farm thins around here before. I will have to look. Maybe Deaglan will eat them!
