Yeah, you are on the right track. The heart of Bento is to please the diner. “love in a box.” Whatever she likes and will eat and is nutritious is what should go in the box. the cute shapes are just a way to make a “sack lunch” more appealing.

I started packing my son’s lunch because I thought it was cute, but it has gotten to the point where he’s seeing the advantages. He gets interesting food, he can sit down and eat right away, no standing in line, and he likes the notority of having a mom who makes an effort. (OK, he did draw the line at the Hello Kitty box.)

Keep it up. there are a lot of great sites about how to speed up and CUTE up the bento.

My grandma made fantastic chicken noodle soup…and she made the noodles from scratch. From scratch! Who does that anymore?

Actually, she was a fantastic cook in general…everything had about a zillion calories and 10,000 fat grams. Sadly, my mom didn’t get the cooking gene.

And truth be told, I fix the best homemade macaroni and cheese over about three generations.

Wow, these are the CUTEST lunch ideas! My son eats school lunch half the time, and he takes a lunch half the time. It all depends on what is on the lunch calendar! But I’m always looking for new ideas for his lunch, he needs something to interest him in eating the food! So cute, thanks for sharing!

You know, if my husband would take one of those boxes to work…that would be perfect for him.

Seriously cool lunch container and food. I’d eat that sort of faux-bento box lunch, and I’m not a kid.

(Somewhat ironically, we had actual bento box dinners tonight.)

You’re on the right track! They have Hello Kitty Bento’s in Green, Pink, and Blue at the Dollar Tree. I got mine at the Dollar Tree across from the Golden Triangle Mall in Denton. They had 2 styles and even drink containers. Oh and the Dollar Tree also had this cool contraption for making square eggs which my kids thought was awesome. You boil the egg, peal it and place it in the contraption, then stick it in the fridge for an hour. When you take it out it is square and you can make cool little egg slices, your children could amaze their friends with the unexplainable square egg!

Man, makes my old-timey school lunch of a PB&J sandwich with a snack-size bag of Doritos look sort of lame.
