Halloween Castle Bento

October 18, 2013 by beneficialbento

Today is a Halloween blog hop! If you're looking for some fun ideas for Halloween food, you're in the right place!

This lunch is for my husband, and I made a haunted Halloween enchilada casserole - on the bottom is a blue corn tortilla, then ground beef, enchilada sauce, cheese, then black "forbidden rice" on top. The haunted castle is cut freehand from another blue corn tortilla, with details made of cheese. The ghost is mozzarella cheese ( with face cut from a coffee stir straw), the pumpkins are carrots, and there's a little black cat cut from an olive. I could not have made this bento without this very handy Halloween linzer cookie cutter set:

The side dishes are black grapes, pomegranate kernels, cucumber, tomatoes, and bacon wrapped asparagus (the bacon is my favorite - turkey bacon from Trader Joe's, with no nitrites or preservatives - it's so good!).

Now, let's see what spooky food Kendra from Biting the Hand that Feeds You has made - click on the Bento Bloggers and Friends Frightful Fall Blog Hop button below to continue on in the hop:

    Wow! Amazing lunch! I was wondering how you got the details on the ghost and then I read that you used a coffee stir straw! Amazing details!
