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.

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.
