Bento… sorta.

I love to call it “bento”.  It sounds trendy and special but, in reality, it’s not truly  ‘food art’.  At this stage of the game, the goal is for more of the lunch to be eaten than what is brought home.  I still use some prepackaged yogurt treats, bakery cookies and other convenient items but I try to balance everything out with fruits, veggies and natural items when possible.  I hope to get more artsy by the holidays.

The blog has gotten off to a slow start but I think I’m ready to ramp up to full speed.  I’ll gladly take any suggestions and feel free to share your ideas!

This is not mine but it’s very cool!

Why do I pack a lunch?

Packing lunch in our house has become a great way to get the kids involved in what they eat and how they eat it.  We use all sorts of tricks and tools to make really cool, healthy and cost effective lunches and snacks.  I hope you enjoy the upcoming school year and get some inspiration from my blog!!

Happy lunching!
