Be your kids hero with Bento Boxes

Creativity with food is a talent I have always admired and wish I was better at.   The other night after blogging  about  school lunches,  I started researching more ideas on how to make Hello Kitty sandwiches for my 1st grader.   In my research I came across some fun ideas.  Have you ever heard of Bento Boxes?  The picture above came from this bento box blog.

Bento Box lunches are very famous in Japan.   The simplest definition of bento is that it is the Japanese word for a boxed lunch.

Making Your Own Frozen Pizza

Our favorite meal of all time is pizza!  It takes time to make  pizza from scratch, so why not make 4 pizzas at once, bake one for dinner and place the other four in your freezer to serve later?  My hero Crystal Godfrey, with Everydayfoodstorage.net and I got together a few months ago to make a video on how to make  frozen pizza.  What a privilege it was to be with her for a few hours in her kitchen!
