Rice bumble bee with raisin eyes, goji berry nose, rice noodle and raisin antennae, spring roll wrappers for the wings, nori for the stripes, all on a fresh comfy bed of lettuce.

Fancy
This one feels all fancy and grown up to me.
Chopped kale and spinach sautéed in oil and garlic, mixed in the forbidden rice; topped with sweet potato flowers, broccoli and topped with coarse Mediterranean sea salt.

Forbidden
I love that this rice is called forbidden rice. I just got it because it said forbidden and that's the kind of rebel I am.
Seriously it's so good though, and we had some leftovers in coconut aminos, topped with spring radish shapes made from my tiny cutters!

I woke up late
This is called "I woke up late and fortunately there was leftover rice and beans in the fridge". Threw the leftovers in a rice mold, and added some goji berries, boom.
With a side of baby carrots, plums, and pecans.

Easter Basket?
Okay... this was MUCH better in my head! It took a lot of work and yet turned out pretty weird.
Basically it was supposed to be an Easter Basket with flowers... I tried carving out a cucumber, and making a flower radish. I had some turkey lunch meat that I cut out with the my tiny cutters as well.
So here it is.
My daughter, who was studying Sacajawea, asked if it had something to do with her, and then a friend on Facebook asked if it was one of those baby carriers as well. Ah well...

Easter Eggs
Okay, I know I said before we don't do eggs much at our house, which is usually true, but with it being Easter, it was one of those times that I get eggs, and I'm getting better at hard boiling them!
We don't do a lot of Easter Egg decorating here, but I wanted to have a lunch prepared so she wouldn't have to peel the eggs at lunch time, so I just took the natural, locally made food coloring, mixed them in some water, and the kids just basically watercolored the shelled eggs. Super fun for them, easy, and didn't make much of a mess!
I found some cute little plastic bunnies at the japanese store too, so added those for some extra fun. The rice is brown rice, green beans and carrots with mint sauce.
