Pressure Cooker Bento

Ok, I decided to try to figure out how to make a good Bento lunch in a few minutes, and realized that the pressure cooker is the perfect tool for this!! Rice goes in the bottom with enough water to cook it, on the wire rack I have ingredients for the traditional potato salad, bell pepper slices, asparagus, an egg and olive tapenade quiche, and two eggsin their shells. All veggies are frozen, I keep them in ziplock bags in my freezer. I set it for about 5 minutes on high pressure, and viola! Pull it all out, arrange it in my Bento box, add soy mayo to the potato salad, ball and season the rice, and lunch for my husband is complete!

Vegetable Cutters

I got the cutest vegetable cutters today! I haven't used them yet, but here are some pics, I thought the box was so cute in a really bad English kinda way...

These came from Amazon HERE!

$5 shipped for a Bento Box? Today only, so read on...

I got the new Bento Box I ordered for my husband, today in the mail. It is super cute and very well made! I ordered it from Amazon. Well, today there is a an Amazon gift card deal HERE for a $5 gift card for $10 on Amazon. This is fantastic! You can order the box I ordered in either red or blue, and add in some veggie cutters and perhaps a cute rice mold all for $5!!

Here are some links from my Amazon Bento store, note, the prices in my store are the same as the prices on Amazon, but by buying through my links Amazon pays me a commission for the referral. It is free for you and money for me (not very much money though, lol!), and well, we all win! If you would prefer for me not to get a commission, you are welcome to just search for the same products on Amazon.

St. Patricks Day Bento!!

I made a cute Shamrock shaped sandwich, a Bento rabbit out of apple, added green jelly beans and fresh blackberries, and two cute picks full of grape tomatoes! All of it is placed on a salad bed of green lettuce. A little Luck O' the Irish for today!
