Bento Boxes Ideas with Fresh Options

Are you sick and tired of the same packed lunch and sandwiches you make every morning? I bet the kids also feel the same. So why not prepare and cook exciting meals for kid's baon. Although every mother wants to prepare a healthy and hearty baon, the truth of the matter is, their school-aged children hardly touch their vegetables, fruits or healthy dishes when they're away at school.

So how can make sure that your kids will eat the nutritious meal you packed for them? Based on one mom’s experience, the answer to this is to make it kid-friendly meals. That means food that are eye-catching, engaging and delicious. This can be achieved by applying the time-honored food preparation technique of the Japanese – the bento box.
