I’ve had my Bento Box for a little over a year, but this is the first bento I’ve really take a lot of time on making adorable. My friend Tracy’s on a bento kick and I decided to join in!
In the bottom tier I’ve got ants-on-a-log (celery with peanut butter & raisins) some cheese crackers with peanut butter and a couple cranberry nut clusters. The top tier has some All-Bran Multi-Grain crackers, Lauging Cow French Onion Cheese, sugar snap peas and baby carrots.
The sandwich container has a turkey and cheddar sandwich cut into an adorable flower and little stars with some assorted vegetables.
My favorite part of my bento kit is the Engrish on the cover. “Putifresh! Happy fruits is very delicious. I will eat this and will become fortunate all together!” ©Lube Sheep. This was actually a lot of fun!! I look forward to playing some more with this, and to see what Tracy comes up with.
All my cakes come from boxes. My spaghetti sauce isn't from scratch, and I think making my own pasta and bread (unless it comes from a mix…) is rarely worth the effort. I believe individually frozen chicken breasts and ready-made pie crusts are among the best inventions ever. Through these menus, recipes, tips and recommendations, I hope to show that the options for creative cooking are limitless, even when time and money are not.
