Welcome!

I created this blog with the desire to make lunch simple, fun and healthy. I had turned to bento to make this possible.
I live with my husband and our adorable pets and we live a fairly busy life so, being able to have a fast fun lunch makes it easier to save money and eat healthy. Bento is for everyone, not just children, and I strive to inspire people to make lunch an exciting aspect of their day, instead of the same old monotonous task and boring foods which inevitably lead to spending too much money on cafeteria food or fast food, or skipping meals all together.
This blog really has grown to be so much more than I had originally invisioned! It really incorporates my love for local and fresh food and making meals fun and tasty, not just lunch! There is great potential for all meals and bento still really inspires me, but I also really enjoy being inspired by the local farmer's market, and different books and I think the blog has really taken off to so much more than just a bento blog. I hope you feel inspired and enjoy it as much as I do!

Green Lantern?!

Today we had a belated family celebration for my fiance's birthday. On his actual birthday we went for sushi, I apologize, I did not take any pictures of the food to show you, but I will try to do so next time :).

Today we went to a very nice steakhouse, it was delicious.... but that is really not the point of my post.
I though I would share with you all the cake that was a group effort between my fiance's sister, mother and I. His mother baked the cake while is sister and I decorated it. My fiance loves the Green Lantern so we decorated the cake accordingly. I have to say I like how it turned out :). It's not perfect, but it was still pretty cool, and he was pretty impressed, and that was the most important part :).


We iced it with buttercream (his favourite), and then used coloured icing and tips to create the symbol and to trim the edge of the cake. :)


Another view of the cake from the top! Well that's all for today! Until next time, happy munching!

    Hooray! This cake decorating takes practice, but I think we did alright. Too bad we forgot to take a picture of the inner chocolate layers of deliciousness!
