Today I made Frankensteins out of avocados and carrot jack o lanterns all on a bed of rice.
In the top tier I made grilled steak, breaded chicken nuggets, asparagus wrapped in prociutto, sliced pickles, tomatoes, and a lemon slice for color. 
Here are the boxes.

Sooo cute! You have the best imagination and skill! Where do you get such great ideas from?
Thanks, Jamie!
I bought lots of different bento books and follow a ton of Japanese websites to find inspiration. When I look at the pictures of my bentos, they all look really amateur compared to some of the amazing ones that are out there. But I'm still a beginner, so its all good:)
I love this! I think it is too cute!
Thank you, Min! Youre pork roast looks to die for!
The avocado element is genius! :)
Hi KP,
When you use products like avocado, how do you retain the color? Do you squeeze lemon juice on them?
Your lunches are inspiring. You have given me a lot of grea ideas.

Thank you, Marie!
Hi Alice,
Yes, I squeeze lemon juice on the avocados. I also sprinkle salt on them so the kids can eat them as is. When I use certain fruits like apples, I use a mixture of water, lemon juice and a little sprinkle of Splenda so the fruit is not so tart. I just soak the fruit in this mixture as I am slicing them and it seems to work well.
