I appreciate a lot of your ideas and do hope you give credit to the Japanese also. I have seen some of these ideas before, years ago, having a lot of experience in Japan. I do like to see the American take on it though. It’s important to note a need to be wary of exactly where the bento boxes are made and that some are not dishwasher safe. I love using the silicon cupcake/mini cupcake containers. Frozen berries are great but usually I put them in their own snap container.

Thanks – that must be a west coast store. Checking in from SW CT. I’ve been reading you blog for over two years now and thank you! It’s helped just start my girls lunch on many levels.

That’s whole wheat pasta shaped like animals. I got it at a chain called Fresh and Easy and it’s their house brand.

Under the September 26-30 Wednesday preschool lunch – what pasta brand is that and where did you get it?

Hi Anne! Thanks — I’m glad you like the header. Creating the header requires that you be pretty comfortable in Photoshop Elements. This is how I did it:
- I put a bento box and some of my supplies on a big piece of white poster board and photographed it from above.
- Next, I pulled the photo into photoshop elements and corrected the color so the background was as close to true white as I could get.
- Then I erased most of the background. I re-sized the canvas to be the width and height I wanted, filling the background with white.
-Then I added my blog name on top of the image.

Ta da!

Hi Mary! I’m always running late in the mornings and, honestly, I’m kind of lazy too, so hopefully you’ll find some easy ideas to try out. It takes a few tries to get the hang of it, but packing bentos can actually go pretty quickly. There’s no way I would have kept it up this long if it didn’t!

Hey Wendy,
I was wondering how you got your fabulous blog header..
I’m thinking about starting my own blog and I’d love to have a header that looks something like yours..
