I have been packing bento for my hubby, Rob, for over a year and a half now. My daughter, Kat, has been packing them for herself for over 2 years. I came across bento on instructables and started surfing the web for more info and resources.
I bought Kat a starter set for Christmas that year. It has been a bit of an obsession ever since. For the most part, Rob likes typical American food in his bento–thus the name of my blog. Kat is more inclined to incorporate Asian and Asian-inspired foods into her bento and does a lot more actual cooking for hers than I do for Rob’s. Much of what I use is store bought or leftovers. Cooking dinner most nights is enough cooking for me!
