Kiko and His Bento Buddy

Here's a photo of our office mascot, Kiko eating out of his very own Bento Buddy:

We've heard from customers over the years who have bought our bento boxes for their four- legged friends. The lidded container is perfect for water and the other containers hold a variety of canine pleasing kibble.

As soon as Kiko sees his Laptop Lunch bento box, he knows it means "bye-bye" time and suddenly I become dog's best friend!

An Apple A Day

This Week's Bento Lunch

Crisp, tart apples abound this time of year and can be prepared in a variety of ways. For many lunchpackers, fresh apples are a weekly lunch staple but, as the days cool, consider steaming your apples and seasoning with cinnamon. Add a side salad of arugula with Italian dressing, cherry tomatos, spanakopita, and cheddar soy crisps and you've got lunch!

Thinking Outside The Box

Tammy and her creative lunch packing skills:

I was packing a lunch of salad fixings from the final harvest of a friend's garden and needed my XL and two large containers to bring my movable feast with me to work. I was excited to see how nicely the XL container and two large containers fit into the bottom compartment of my Plum Blossom Dual Compartment tote. How's that for "thinking outside the box"?

Last Bites of Summer

This Week's Bento Lunch

It's clear that fall is upon us, but here in California we can still find a few of our summertime favorites at the farmers' market. This weekend, market shoppers were sure to get their fill of summer's remaining bounty. We were happy to get our hands on some delicious blueberries and green beans for this week's bento lunch.
