Bento Archives - Mommy Peach

By now, I’m sure you already know about Bento-making. You might be one of those mommies who constantly prepare bento baons for your kids each day. I salute you for being so creative and persistent! I seldom prepare bento baon for Ykaie, though. The patience in bento-making comes once or twice a month at most.

Bento is a single portion of home-packed or take-out meal that typically holds rice, fish or meat, with pickled or cooked vegetables. But bento-making has evolved from being a simple meal in a box-shaped container. Moms and homemakers consider it an art and liken it to crafting a masterpiece on a blank canvas because the possibilities are endless. They prepare the food items creatively adding colorful and cute accessories that make the dishes more appealing, especially to kids.

Making kids bento boxes for their merienda or school baon is what’s in these days. Kids are more excited to eat because they get their rice, sandwiches, vegetables, and fruits in fun shapes. It’s also very appetizing and nice to look at colorful lunch boxes and plates so kids will definitely eat more. To be honest, it’s actually my first time dipping my hands into and trying out making a bento box for Ykaie.

The reason why is I’m a little bit intimidated in making a bento box. It looks complicated and hard to do, right? Since I love Halloween, I guess this is a good time of the year to get my creative bento juices flowing. Besides, I have a good partner that made my bento-making easy and delicious : Cheez Whiz!
