First lunch box I made for my little girl so I think this is definitely worth documenting.
For the longest time, I’ve been blessed with school provided lunches. However, knowing today’s lunch is something my daughter wouldn’t like, I bought this lunchbox yesterday via same-day shipping so I could whip up something quickly for her to bring to school. It was probably meant to be as this was a lightning deal and was only $11!
Bento Box ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was looking at those highly rated bentgo ones but they are $25 with a lot of wasted space between compartments. While I was hesitating, I saw this $11 bento box with thin walls and a storage place for utensils! It says it’s microwaveable but I never really like putting flimsy plastic in microwave.
I like it so far. I would probably prefer putting fresh, room temperature, or cold food in there, and look for another option to put cooked food.
Ever wonder what to do with your pot/pan lids and ladles while you are cooking? It used to take me a few seconds to look around and decide if I should leave them on the stove, put them on the countertop (and have to clean up after), or find a plate/bowl/whatever is available and have more things to wash later. This is until I stumbled upon this ladle & lid stand while shopping for a kitchen spice rack…
Yamazaki Ladle & Lid Stand ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Never knew I NEED this until I bought it. Not only does it look sleek, I now finally have a place to put the lid and ladle while cooking without having to leave them on the stove or countertop and have drips all over the place!
The problem is that my husband steals it sometimes because he says this has the perfect angle for his iPad/iPhone. Moreover, the edge is very low profile so it doesn’t block any part of the screen.
I’ve been following this blog: https://instagram.com/sulheejessica and suddenly wanted to try making some fun sandwich for my kid. However, I don’t have time to do it from scratch so I turned to my beloved friend, Amazon, for help.
Found this bear-shaped sandwich cutter! It looks like this could possibly do the job for me to make some fun shaped food… and I was right! This has been the fourth consecutive day that she requested to eat the bear-bear-bread!
Steps:
Make a sandwich as you normally would (bread, filling, bread), but limit the filling towards the center of the bread and keep it slightly smaller than the shape of the bear (I used peanut butter and honey, but you might as well put in scrambled egg, ham, cheese, or whatever else you want in there)
Put the bear-shaped mold on top and press down hard
Remove excess bread and, there, you will have a bear-shaped sandwich!
