Cookbooks from Hawaii are full of really great asian-fusion home style recipes, that are easy, ono (delicious), and adapted to american tastebuds. So when I heard from Lunch In A Box that a new Hawaii's Bento Cookbook is out, it's on my "need it now" list. It has bento recipes for Spam Musubi, Shoyu Hotdogs, Mochiko Chicken, and Kahlua Pork. Bring it on!

Corny Dogs Bento
Forgive me for not posting in a while. We've experienced some huge life changes. My husband got a new job. I went to work full time, after staying home/working from home for 4.5 years. It's taken me a while to get used to the new lifestyle. I had to learn how to style my hair again. And wear grown up clothes. So, I had to take a break from blogging. But I'm baaaack!
I still pack bentos for my daughter. But it's thrown together quickly, not often pretty. There have been days when I pack it like "the brown bag style of my youth" (gasp!) in ziplocks (gasp!) because it's so easy and quick. Alas, I still love the bento format, because she will eat more veggies when it's all presented in one container. For example, If I put the veggies in a separate container, she wouldn't bother to eat it. Put the veggies next to the corn dogs...she will eat it. (insert evil laugh here)
Today's bento contains: mini veggie corn dogs, grapes, carrots, persian cucumbers, and some soy sauce in a little squeezy fish bottle.
