Jalapeno Snack Rolls Recipe

These very simple to make snack rolls are delicious and fun to eat, they're also a great bento stuffer because they can fit snugly next to any other bento item. The recipe used to make these is as follows.

-California imported Jalapeno tortillas (or any found in the grocery store will do)
-Room temprature cream cheese
-Ham or any thinly sliced deli meat
-clean hands

First lay out the torillas and warm on a griddle then spread the cream cheese evenly over the torillas. Layer the deli meat over the cream cheese and start rolling at one end making sure it is a tight roll. Once rolled cut into bite sized pieces or desired lengh. Last step, fit into your bento and eat.

Starry Meadow Greek Salad Recipe

Here is the recipe for the starry meadow greek salad that appeared on my first bento post. This recipe can also be found in the Bento recipes section.

Ingredients
-Leafy greens, preferably romaine lettuce
-Red Onion
-Cucumber
-Kalamata Olives
-Feta Cheese
-one small pepperoncini pepper
-A good greek dressing(I used Kraft's)

Tear the lettuce leaves to desired bite size. Cut cucumber slices and cut out the flowers. Take one onion layer and cut the stars. I used a fondant cutter that I bought from Michael's Arts and Crafts store for the cut outs. Slice the Kalamata olives into thin rounds. Assemble pieces on top of bed of lettuce and crumble feta cheese over top. I used a small container that is usually used for Ketchup at fast food chains for the dressing since I am still waiting for my order of sauce bottles.

Enjoy this delicious and beautifully romantic salad!

Cherry tomato stuffers Recipe

Here is the recipe for the tomatoes I used on my first bento.

This is a great filler for your bento stuffing. It's nice for squeezing into the corner or your bento and it tates great too!!

You'll need cherry tomatoes and whatever you like with your tomatoes. I used ground beef and cheese but you can use anything that will fit in there.

-Cut the top of the cherry tomato like a hat.
-With a small spoon scrape out the insides
-Cook the beef until done with salt and pepper
-Stuff the tomatoes with the beef and cheese and place under a toaster oven or nuke it in the microwave for a few seconds and you have a delicious bento stuffer thats cheesy and delicious.

Enjoy!
