I'll finally admit it. I'm obsessed with bento. You know - Japanese for "lunch in a box." I don't actually own any bento boxes, but when I've got free time I love perusing bento blogs for fun lunch ideas. I don't ever do anything as fancy as most of those bento folks - but our lunches are much less boring than they used to be.
Today's lunch was peanut butter pocket sandwiches, raw carrot coins, and apple bunnies (eating the carrots).
And here is the biggest reason I do this (besides self entertainment). I took healthy food my kids would normally not be interested in, and turned it into something they can't wait to gobble down. It was awesome today when William said, "Cool lunch, Mom!"
