Star Sandwich Cutter BentoUSA Review




Do your kids love food on a stick? Mine do! They especially love sandwiches on a stick and I wanted to show you my favorite sandwich-on-a-stick maker. Drum roll please...


The SANDWICH on a STICK MAKER! Ours is star shaped but All Things For Sale also carries them in the form of a heart, a flower, a mini hexagon and a mini square!


This cutter is easy to use, easy to clean and simply perfect for quick sandwiches on a stick!


The cutter comes apart for easy cleaning and thanks to the plunger you can easily extract your made sandwich! This means , PBJ, jelly or nut butter sandwiches are no sticky messes!


Directions:

You need two slices of bread. One plain and one with the topping you would like.
Start with the plain bread. Cut out the shape. Leave the shape in the cutter and cut the bread with the topping next. Alternate until the cutter is full. Insert bento pick or toothpick. Press the sandwich gently out of the cutter and your shaped sandwich on a stick is ready!


My daughter wanted turkey and cheese sandwiches and we made some together.


Fun, right?


To illustrate the layers the sandwich maker produces we alternated bread, turkey and cheese.


 Perfect for little hands or...


...for the lunchbox!

The Sandwich on a stick Cutter is available at All Things For Sale here:

Polar Bear Bento Box Lunch



We just got this adorable polar bear bento box from All Things For Sale and I already love it since it has a gel filled lid you can freeze over night - no ice pack needed! We took full advantage and packed home made hummus with carrots and celery for lunch! 


Everything fit perfectly into our Fluf lunch bag (don't forget to enter my giveaway HERE) and we also packed a MyColdCup thermal container with ice water, a yogurt and another container with:


  • Goldfish crackers, 
  • a CuteZCute Panda sandwich, 
  • a mini cereal bar 
  • and a few orange slices.

CuteZcute 2-Tier Baby Bento Buddies - a Review



Meet Baby Cool Penguin! One of three new Baby Bento Buddies from CuteZCute! I feel so lucky to have been asked to review this adorable bento box!


This two tier bento box comes with a bottom tier, top tier, fitted lid and serving bowl. It holds approximately 440 ml of food combined. But what stands out for me is that it is really well made, has a beautiful finishing and is easy to clean! The bento box is dishwasher safe (without the clear lid) and microwavable (without the clear lid). It is of course BPA free!!

Thanks to it's unique design you can pack both tiers or just one depending on what you are packing for the day! The Baby Bento Buddy would make a cute one tier snack container!


Today's penguin themed Baby Bento Buddy lunch consists of:
  • Jasmine rice with two cheese penguin decorations
  • Furikake (not pictured) for the rice and
  • home made vanilla sugar cookie chips and fresh strawberries

 

The serving bowl can be used to combine packed foods or like with our lunch add seasoning to the rice and make it easier to use!


I really adore this bento box. It may be small but it has so many different uses I might just have to collect them all!

Wondering what else you could use this adorable box for?

 
How about in the bathroom?


In my kids' bathroom I would use it for Band-Aids (they always need to be ready available), Q-tips and bath salt. It would look adorable there as well as in the kitchen!

Want one or two, too?
You can buy one at All Things for Sale (contains affiliate links):

A Sweet All Things For Sale Review



All Things for Sale asked me to review their new Sakura Flower Doughnut Mold and their new Rabbit bunny chocolate mold. I love chocolate, baking and all things sweet and was so excited to try out both.

Sakura Flower Doughnut Mold:


I made mini donuts using THIS recipe from Baker Bettie and they were so good! 
TIP: piping the dough into the mini donut mold is easiest. Simply fill a Ziploc bag with the dough cut a small opening in a corner and pipe the dough into the mold! That way it is easier to fill the mold only half way. 


I love how they came out! Dipped in a little butter and cinnamon sugar. They were a delicious and beautiful afternoon snack!


Of course, I had to make some chocolate glazed ones as well and they were just as beautiful!

The review:
  • great quality
  • easy to use 
  • non stick
  • simply turn the mold over and the donuts just popped out.
  • very versatile: you could use this mold for a variety of yummy treats like donuts, mini cakes, baked pancakes, brownies, jello or whatever you can think of. 

Rabbit Bunny Chocolate Mold:


This mold is so cute and there are so many decoration possibilities!


I ended up making caramel, dark chocolate and white chocolate bunnies with frozen yogurt (pink), chocolate and caramel accents:


They came out beautiful and were easy to pop out of the mold with the cute faces imprinted!


We used our bunnies as ice cream decorations but these would also be cute for lunchboxes with frozen yogurt, frozen guacamole or hummus!

The Review:
  • great quality
  • easy to use 
  • non stick
  • simply turn the mold over and the chocolate bunnies just popped out.
  • very versatile: you could use this mold for a variety of yummy treats like frozen yogurt, ice cubes, frozen guacamole or frozen hummus
Overall: I have used both molds several times already and love the quality and ease of use! They are so easy to fill and the donuts and bunnies were easy to remove from the mold as well. No matter what you make with them ~ the treats always come out great!

The molds are available at All Things For Sale:
