Pokémon - Max & Shroomish

John was actually a little bummed that I made myself a Pokémon lunch yesterday and he hasn't had one yet (which was all part of my evil plan .... bwahahahaha). We picked an episode at random to watch and it ended up being "Taming of the Shroomish" from Pokémon: Advanced and decided that Max and two Shroomish would make a great lunch!

Max is May's little brother and is too young to be a Trainer, but he's pretty much an expert on the subject and tags along with Ash. I think him being just a little older than John played a large part in him being "the chosen one" for John's first Pokémon lunch!

Max is pb&j (of course) and he also has his usual grapes, Mini Slim Jims and fruit snacks. He also has skinny carrot sticks with spinach dip. I'm hoping that having the carrots cut smaller than usual will make them more likely to be eaten!

Pokémon - Munchlax

The theme for this week over at Bento Blog Network is Pokémon! I didn't think John was familiar so I started watching the cartoons on my iPad .... only to find out that he already knows a lot about them thanks to his friends. I have to admit that some of them are pretty cute so since he doesn't have school tomorrow and I've REALLY wanted to make one, I decided to make one for myself! (I'm sure he'll get one at some point during the week, too ... just maybe not in time to link up to BBN!)

Munchlax is pieced together with scraps of provolone and American cheese leftover from cutting letters for other lunches and it sitting on a slice of turkey breast on top of ramen noodles. "Munchlax" is cut from American and is also sitting on turkey on top of mixed vegetables. 

Make sure you click on the link for BBN above to check out all of the Pokémon lunches and especially make sure you swing by starting Wednesday to vote for your favorite ... even if it isn't mine!
