Happy Monday. I was not going to participate in the Bento Blog Network theme of "vegan" this week. However, my friend Sarah from bentoriffic posted a fun little banner add (see below picture) on facebook for a website called Meatless Monday and it totally changed my mind. I decided to play (aka enter) anyway. Typically my family is sooo not vegan, but it can't hurt just this once or maybe every Monday! We will see....
Bottom Box: Bat shaped honeydew, orange bell pepper bats, carrot bats, and more yellow cherry tomatoes.
**I found foam Halloween stamps at the Dollar Tree and I hoped that I could just color on them with the food dye markers and stamp on food, worked like a charm!**

Voting starts on Wednesday 10/3.
FYI - I do really enjoy the Halloween season and have many Halloween bentos planned. I will be doing at least one per week the whole month of October. The week of Halloween there will be one every day.
