Patriotic Bento Lunch Box

4th of July is just around the corner!
What are you planning to do on the holiday?
If you going on a picnic, how about taking these cute bears with you?😍


I created mini burgers with mini tomatoes, basil mozzarella cheese!
Yes, these bears are vegetarian😉


For dessert, I made  Blueberry Bran Muffins and packed with strawberries and cherries that I bought at a local farmers market.
