Your Kids Will Never Have a Boring Lunch Box Ever Again

It's quite challenging to feed our little members of the family, let alone cook food and present it in a way that would look appetizing enough for them to pick and eat. With that being said, If you happen to be a parent in a desperate search for new and exciting ways to prepare your kid's  lunchbox, you came to the right place! Here's a fresh take on how to revamp your kiddie meals, bento style!

THE THINGS YOU WILL NEED

• Box: You don't need to have an expensive lunch box for this. If your kid's lunchbox is still as colorful and as it was the first time you bought it, you can reuse it! What's important is that you have a container for all those beautiful recipes you prepared for the day.
• Silicone Baking Cups: These colorful cups are not only attractive to the eyes but they are also great for keeping wet, oily and dry things separated like green peas, biscuits and whatnot.
• Knife: A sharp knife can do you wonders to your presentation. You can spruce up your ingredients into strips, squares, cube and whatnot.
• Cookie Cutters: These baking accessories are not only good for creating the perfectly shaped desserts you can ever come up with, but it can also turn your food presentation to a whole new level. Heart shaped eggs? Sun shaped tarts? You got it!

WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN MAKING A BENTO BOX

1. Food should look neat

To be able to achieve this, you have to make sure that the food you prepare are stacked properly. A neat presentation is a clean presentation.

2. Cut shapes

This is where your cookie cutter accessory comes in. Make fun shapes and add personality to you dish that your kids would love to munch on. Cheese made of hearts? Ham cut into strips? Vegetable hearts? The choice is yours!

3. Roll-ups

Roll-ups are signature pieces of a bento box meal. Make a simple concoction of your favorite deli meat strips, cheese, and spices rolled into one mouthwatering bite-size piece that is not only packed with flavor but is also aesthetically appealing.

PACK IT ALL IN!

This is the fun part! Here's where you would organize all your edible masterpieces and fit them into your bento box lined with your colorful silicone baking cups. Always put in mind that when making a bento box, make sure that you fill it completely so that food would not go run around and spill to all the compartments you made.

After packing everything in, don't forget to garnish your creation with small bite-size pieces like grapes, berries, cubes of cheese, cherries, tomatoes and all other colorful goodies to fill-in the little gaps of your meal box.

Once everything is in place, show your kid what he/she will be having for lunch and see your child’s face filled with excitement over the delectable masterpiece you have created.

Don’t have a child? No problem! You can make one for yourself or for your partner as a gesture of your appreciation for having him/her in your life!
