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.

My youngest is starting 1st grade and will be taking a school lunch with her every day to school. She is an extreme introvert so I know by lunch time she will be exhausted and ready to come home. I’m hoping school lunch will be like a giant hug from me to keep her going for a few more hours at school. Any ideas you have to offer would be much appreciated.

This article was printed today in the Daily Universe. I will be on campus at BYU on August 19th from 4-6pm to sign books at the BYU Bookstore during Education Week. Please come stop by and visit with me if you are in the area.

Cookbook Faceoff: Cougars vs. Utes
By Amanda Taylor
The rivalry has made it to the kitchen. Thanks to two new cookbooks, Cougars and Utes alike can create themed snacks to support their team for the next big throw-down.

The other night I had the gym instructors I work with over for a girls night out. Everyone brought their favorite late night snack and Nicole brought these delicious little dipped-chocolate treats. They looked like cake balls I’ve heard so much about ( big at weddings in Idaho) so I was very excited to try one. After taking a bite of the white hardened chocolate with soft creamy Oreo filling, I was smitten. Usually something so wonderful is very time consuming to make, but not these little treasures.

This arcitle, written by Sharon Haddock, was in the Mormon Times yesterday. Included are a few of my all time favorite recipes. Thank you Sharon for writing such an incredible article highlighting my ideas on how to save time and money with freezer meals.
