Guest Post from Bento Basket
Hi, I’m Kuusou from Bento Basket and I’m happy to be a guest poster this week! I live in Texas with my hubby and two girls and have been making them bentos for almost a year. A few months ago I decided to start a blog to share the lunches I make for my family with those who love bento. Each week day I make four bentos – one each for my husband, girls, and myself. Most of the time it doesn’t take too long to make all four since I’ve developed a system.
Butterfly Bento by Bento Basket
Today’s bento has homemade steak fingers separated by sakura-shaped carrots, a butterfly-shaped onigiri with various nori decorations, green beans, tomatoes, tamagoyaki, apricots, cranberries, bell peppers, and baby spinach leaves.
One of my favorite time-saving tips is to do some things the night before. For example, cutting out nori and putting it all in a covered container for the morning really helps when I’m in a hurry! I also have the boxes and supplies set out on the counter so they are all ready at 5:30 am!
Y’all have a great day!

Featured Product: Niko Niko Nori Face Punch (recently re-stocked!)
This amazing new nori punch cuts standard sheet seaweed into unbearably cute faces that you can use to make incredible bento and onigiri art, making you the cutest bento maker in town! Koala bear faces, panda, or generic happy faces can be cut from the 3 seaweed cutters and you can even mix and match to make new expressions.
