I've bought some Bento gear in a webshop and it arrived on my birthday... I was so happy with it... and just liked to get started...

I've bought a new sakura bento box, some egg molds, a Hello Kitty Onigiri decoration set, some food picks and Hello Kitty vegie cutters...

I thought it was quitte much when I've filled in the order, but then I just got one small box... hahahahaha... surprise....

Udon noodles, I really love it... We thought of making some more, so we could put them in the bento for the next day, unfortunately, there was nothing left.... If we really intend to put it in the bento, I think we should make even more then we did...

Udon stirfried with bellpeppers, chikuwa and onions...

I've bought the book: Bento Boxes and found this receipt for rice with 3 types of mushroom. I've put some bellpeppers, carots and cherry tomatoes for the flavour and colour.

Looking back to those first Bento boxes I've made, I see it was quite boring, but it tasted really nice...

Making Bento for Kids is quite hard, especially if they are just one year old.. Luckely they don't need much food...
Melissa really loved the macaroni with cheese and the flower manderin. But to be very honest, it was much to much food....

These are the first Bento lunches we made and the first time we made Onigiri. We filled the rice with Tuna, Teriyaki chicken and we seperated the Nori to keep it crispy. The blue berrie muffins we had for the coffee break...

Bento



In februar I started making Bento boxes for lunch. My dear cousin bought me a bento box as a gift for my little girl... We started making bento's for fun, but soon, we decides to continue, cause it really makes us happy when we see such a nice looking lunch. Lunchtime became a really cheerful moment of the day.
