Bears in Tiaras OH MY!


One of the memorable lines in The Wizard of Oz is “Lions and Tigers and Bears OH MY” well when I noticed what looked to me to be a Bear in a Tiara, I had an OH MY moment myself and knew this was the choice for our Bento Box designs.  These bright and cheerful lunch boxes came with our names on them as well, so we think there is a perfect colour and design for every member of your family as well.  Head to https://www.stuckonyou.ca/bento-products and see all the selections available.

Easy to Prepare Recipe Ideas for Your Stuck On You Bento Box Plus It’s Easy To Clean Too


The Stuck On You Bento Box is a 3 piece construction.  The outer shell complete with personalization, and inner tray that easily removed for fast clean up and rubber seal to keep everything in place once it’s filled up with a delicious lunch. While it is made up of three pieces, the instructions warn not to remove the seal from the outer shell casing of the bento box.

For my first bento box creation I made Chicken, Goat Cheese and Spinach Pinwheel Wraps with sides of fruit, veggies, seven grain pita crackers and hummus. While the box lables give you and idea of where things should go, because my wraps had grains, protein, dairy and vegetables all in one I mixed it up a bit.

Here’s how I made my Chicken, Goat Cheese and Spinach Pinwheel Wraps

1.       I chopped a fully cooked chicken breast (I only used about half of it in my recipe, so I had enough to make another for the next day).

2.       Then I crumbled half of small size package of Goat Cheese and used a fork to mix and mash it into the chopped chicken





3.       Next, I washed a handful of baby spinach

4.       I layered the spinach and chicken mixture onto a whole wheat wrap.  For a variation you could spread the hummus on the wrap first and then layer it up, but because I made this the night before I didn’t want the wrap to get soggy so instead, I packed the hummus in the circular compartment to dip my wraps and veggies into it.


5.       Finally, I folded/rolled up my wrap and cut it into 2-inch pieces so it fit nicely into the bento box.

I filled the other compartments with radishes, kohlrabi, carrots and blackberries, pita chips and as mentioned about the hummus was added to the circular compartment.  For other bento box inspiration check out the video below and the idea list.

More Boredom Busters - Book Review

Making The Most Of March Break


Caroline Fernandez has created a follow up to her Boredom Busters book.  2015 brings More Boredom Busters to the bookshelves with over 50 activities for kids age 7 and up! With March Break this week, the timing is perfect!



What You Will Like About It

Many of the activities in the book use items that can be found in most households. From empty yogurt containers to toilet paper rolls your family will be able to upcycle many of the items that would end up in your recycle bin.  For the extra crafting items you need for the activity, I would guess you could find a lot of things your need at the local dollar store. 

Also the book is set up by season so it can be used as a learning tool to teach about special occasions. Think of all the artistic "Make Ahead" gifts you could be making too!

Here is an example of a spring art craft to make for Mother's Day.



Plus the you don't have to worry about bookmarking all the pages.  The index in the back is designed to be very helpful to see a quick list of what project you might be interested in creating.

What Will You Make?

Do you have some creative "makers" in your home? Or perhaps you are looking to let your inner "crafter" out. Let us know in the comments what you like to craft at home.  Need some inspiration? For ideas we suggest heading out to grab More Boredom Busters! Perhaps you can get it when you head to the Chapters Waterloo March Break events this week!
