What started out as bento curiosity has turned into a full blown obsession. Bento boxes are fun, but in the end, its about getting my kids to eat...something, anything (with some nutritional value).
I finally got around to using the Hello Kitty rice mold and nori puncher that my mom got for me. It's hard to pick up the little pieces of nori! I ended up using a dampened toothpick to pick up the pieces.

I know, it's been forever since I have posted. I have been packing, but time restraints have kept me from posting. I have put together a backlog. While it's not everything, it's something, right?
Here I made a mini sub sandwich, cucumbers (marinated) and some Girl Scout cookies (Thin Mints).
Here is a Nightmare Before Christmas sandwich bento box.
In it, I packed chicken salad sandwiches, cheddar bunnies, and carrot sticks.
Here is a healthy grilled chicken lunch with sauteed snow peas, brocolli, and rice with a tiny pickled plum.
