Things have been a little nuts around here lately, and not in a fun way. Health issues have been keeping us mellow and not doing a lot, and of course it’s not fun to post when all you have to talk about is health problems. Still, there has been a bit of fun; Easter, a visit to the aquarium, playing Zelda (starting at the original) and watching a lot of anime.

I’ve been researching my diagnosis (don’t we all do that now thanks to the internet?) and there was an article that said Vitamin D could help. I have my fingers crossed that this means the doctor could prescribe a trip to the beach and our insurance would have to pay for it. Oh yes, I can dream big!

Anyway, sorry for being so quiet, but hopefully with spring arriving I will have more interesting things to post about soon.

Awhile back I got an adorable book called Yum-Yum Bento Box: Fresh Recipes for Adorable Lunches. It has been sitting on my shelf for a few years, waiting for the day when I had some supplies to create cute food.

Thanks to some Amazon giftcards, the day finally arrived! I have a Panda bento box, and many fun shaped molds to make boiled eggs with. My first attempt was a Hello Kitty boiled egg, which turned out cute, except the egg was too small so it really didn’t mold. Further attempts at other shapes have worked out much better, and we are thinking of making some as a fun twist on the traditional Easter egg (we will still color eggs though).

One of my favorite YouTube shows, Cooking With Dog, has a very good video about making bento:

What about you? Have you tried making cute foods for bento boxes?
