Bento boxes are a portioned lunch, often served up in tin lunchboxes, that are popular in Japanese cuisine. A traditional bento consists of rice, fish or meat, and one or more vegetables. Some people get super duper creative with the design that goes into a bento, though; check out some amazing ones from around the Internet!
Happy weekending, Lovelies!

I wish my son would eat stuff like this. He would play with all of this stuff and get a horrified look if any one else ate it.

These are sooo cute, but their so cute I don’t think that I would even eat it. I would freeze it so I could show it off later.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Super Smash Bro’s box at the top. I am going to order one from the internet right now if they are available… Please let them be available! Oh by Falco’s yellow beak WHY!

Hell, if I spent 2 hours on making lunch to pack to school tomorrow and then stared at those cutesy things for another hour and ended up never eating them because they’re too adorable, then would be a tragedy.

I just saw a blog like this done by a cute little 8 year old girl..Ironic… maybe.. maybe not.. But really I love bento boxes… I’ve had many different kinds very common in Japan.
