Day - 10 Bento Box for your loved ones

The long holidays are over and the kids are back at school. I always try to give my kids creative lunches especially since one of them is a picky eater. I often make Onigiri - rice ball or rice roll with seaweed for their lunch. Nori - seaweed is a super food and it is high in mineral salt content and is a good source of iron, calcium, fiber, and many different types of vitamins. Now I understand why my grandparents kept telling me that seaweed is great for our hair! I eat seaweed almost daily. You can purchase it at any type of market.


Rice roll bento box

I use stainless steal bento boxes instead using plastic ones. Please, please try to not to use many of the small plastic bags ... this helps keep our oceans clean. I add some grape tomatoes, edamame and grapes for this lunch box.
