Bento competition

I've been reading a few bento blogs as I'm on the lookout for more inspiration to make Maisie's lunches. I happened upon Bento Pet and her competition for everyday people packing bento so I figured I'd submit some of my pictures and maybe I could win her cool prizes. Please wish me luck!!

I have been following your Maisie blog since before your trip to China. We live in the same area. I think I found you through Debbie L at some point???

I was excited to see that you started a Bento blog. My little one is only 9 months, but I ordered a bunch of Bento supplies for the future when I first saw it on Salsa in China. Now it sits waiting for my Bento eater to be old enough! Until then, I will enjoy being inspired by all your lunches. Thanks!; July 26, 2008 at 5:23 AM
Anonymous said...: This Bento Food blog is awesome. You total deserve to win the competition, but even if you don't you should feel great about inspiring so many to get more creative with meals.

Please include some how to's as well. I made some cute carrot cut outs today, thanks to your carrot flowers.

I have boys (ages 11, 8 and 5) and they are excited about this! You are so ahead of the curve on packing school lunches!!

Thanks again for sharing your creativity!

Why bento?

Maisie used to be an extremely picky eater and three to five days a week I had to pack a lunch for her to take to camp or school. Because she was so picky, I starting packing bentos in an attempt to make her lunches more interesting, appetizing and hopefully more appealing while providing food that was healthy for her along with being something she wanted to and would eat. She's now a much better and far less picky eater but she loves her bentos and they make her feel special and loved so I continue to make them for her.
