Happy New Year!!!!
My parents have just left to return home and I have a house FULL of leftovers. What's a girl to do?!?! BENTO!!! :)
Let me introduce you to my new favorite appliance - the pie maker. My mother and father bought this amazing appliance for me and it is no ordinary pie maker. When first they discussed buying one, I suggested that there were cheaper ones out on the market but they did a lot of research. The Breville Pie Maker is the best available and makes lovely 4 inch pies and quiches - perfect for lunch, breakfast, and well, eating anytime. I have had hours of fun with it already.
This bento is my first of the new year and it seemed appropriate to use leftovers in a pie. Mom, this bento is for you!

This is a single layer bento consisting of homemade turkey pot pie and salad. It is super simple and (I think) quite cute! How did I make the pot pie? Well, I took pie crust, put it into the pie maker and shaped it to the container. I added some leftover mashed potatoes (about 2 tsp of it) and then a few teaspoons of turkey in gravy (also leftover). I added a few peas and diced carrots. Viola! Turkey pot pie is easy as, well, pie! Thanks Mom for cooking up a storm. I am packaging leftovers to make meals for when we get home from Russia with the kids.
That reminds me, dear readers, DH and I will be going to Russia to bring home our three kids this month. Bentos will likely be more kid oriented in February. We are looking forward to a very big change in our lives - a wonderful change.
Wishing you the very best this new year,
Moi

Thank you for all your kind notes! :) It's always nice to read comments here.
The adoption decree became official yesterday. We are now (legally) parents! :) :) Now, all we need to do is get our kids home!
