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.

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!
