Recycled Bento




I am having some major camera problems. As in IT IS MIA! I can't find my camera therefore I have not been able to post. So I thought I would do a re-post and post one of my all time favorites today.

This bento is one of my absolute favorites! I made this bento with some yummy tamagoyaki, flower turkey dogs, cherry tomato, edamame, carrots, apples and sweet pineapple mochi!

Refreshing Homemade Organic Sports Drink

The summer is upon us, the kids are out of school and the heat is rising outdoors! Most kids are ready to run out that front door everyday to play now that school is out. The heat combined with the high energy activity that most kids engage in they are in seriuos need of hydration and nutrition! If you are like me the continuous question of "Mom, can I have a juice box?" can get quite old and can put a hurt on your grocery budget! 1st off water is always a great choice but with the kids sweating out in the heat of the day they also need more than plain water.



Ingredients for Homemade Organic Sports Drink:
Pure Organic Fruit Juice (No High Fructose Corn Syrup!)
Green Tea
Organic Sea Salt (Sea salt is best to use as an elctrolyte source)
Directions: Brew your green tea using green tea bags, fill your pitcher with half juice and half green tea. Add a pinch of organic sea salt, stir, and enjoy!
*If you are opposed to using green tea for some reason you can substitute the tea with water.


Most kids prefer the good ole juice box or juice cup. Good quality juice is costly and with the kids home all day it can go fast. A great way to restore their elctrolytes and to hydrate them you can make a great homemade organic sports drink for them. The great thing about it is that you dilute the juice which makes the juice go a long way and the health benefits of the green tea are fabulous to boot!

Homemade All Natural Disenfectant For Your Bento Supplies

Many bento boxes have rubber seals in them that tend to get mildew and can be a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. A great way to disinfect your bento boxes is with an all natural cleaner that you can make right at home for little cost!
What you will need is distilled or purified water (I chose to use purified water from my cute Hello Kitty water purifier), Tea Tree Oil (you can find it at most stores with the supplements and vitamins), an all natural dish soap and a 16oz trigger bottle.
Fill the trigger bottle almost to the top, add 3 tbl spoons of the soap and 20 to 30 drops of the Tea Tree Oil to the water and shake to mix.

The rubber seal is usually in the lid, just remove it and spray it down with the cleanser and use a q-tip to get down in the small crease of the lid where the seal was. I leave the cleanser on for about 5 minutes and then rinse.


Even though Tea Tree Oil is an all natural essential oil it is dangerous if swallowed like with all other disinfectants. So make sure to keep it in a safe place with your other household cleansers. To learn more about Tea Tree Oil and its uses click HERE.

The Long Awaited Bento

Finally after months of moving, unpacking etc. etc. I made bento for my daughter! She was thrilled to say the least. It was her last full day of kindergarten today because tomorrow is early dismissal so I wanted to make sure she had one last bento for the school year. It is not spectacular by any means but with all my bento supplies being EXTREMELY unorganized I think I did ok;)
It is some leftover honey barbecue grilled chicken that I removed from the bone, fresh raw carrots, sliced fresh strawberries and bananas with a little cup of Wild Harvest organic berry granola for a little sweet treat! This granola blend is fabulous! I just love it and it has all natural organic ingredients. It is also very yummy in vanilla yogurt!
