A Saucy Bento & Review!

Bella likes barbecue sauce now! She never used to, or rather, she thought she wouldn't ... But when I included some Country Bob's in this bento lunch she gave it a taste, and discovered she does! 


I received a couple of bottles of Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce to try and to be honest, I wouldn't have minded if Bella hadn't liked it - then there'd have been more for me! I love it! It's full of the flavour of garlic, onions & molasses without being too spicy or sweet, and with just enough vinegar to give it the perfect amount of tang for my taste :) 


Now, while I'm calling it barbecue sauce, Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce is, as the name suggests, not technically just a barbecue sauce - it's more than that. According to their website, it's in a class of it's own, and I agree, I've been eating it with everything. Well, I was, until I ran out. Now I have to see if the base commissary carries it, and if they don't, beg them to :)

Bella's Western-themed LunchBot Trio is packed with cold chicken, Country Bob's to dip it in, star-shaped ranch crackers, pistachios, baby carrots, & Golden Delicious apple wedges:


The nuts & sauce are packed in leak-proof LunchBots Dips.  The western food picks in the chicken & the cupcake ring on one of the baby carrots were a gift from my friend Keitha, who lives in Texas.  Check out her Story Themed Lunches on her blog, Keitha's Chaos!

Since Bella had a cowgirl lunch, her brother Pickle wanted a cowboy sandwich. I had a cowboy hat & a boot cookie cutter so he got what he wanted.  This is the 2nd version. The 1st version was on honey wheat - I thought a cowboy hat & boots should be brown. Mr. Picky Pickle disagreed.


Little sister Birdie got the brown boot & hat.

  6. Are those ranch crackers pre-made, or did you take crackers and add the ranch to them?

    This is cute. I love the picks! I was just wondering where you find all your shaped/flavored crackers? Are they a specific brand?

    Thank you for sharing.
