Where can find Bento boxes and asseccories?

Hello-



I would like to know where I can find Bento boxes and their asseccories. I'd like to start making them for myself, my little sister and my man. ;)

While I was in Boston, I picked up a little Hello kitty one, but it doesn't have any dividers and is very small. I would also like to know where I can find those cute food cutters and maybe even some recipes?

Thank so much! :DWhere can find Bento boxes and asseccories?
What We Put in Bentos (a short list)



"Faux Sushi" - trim the crusts off bread and roll flat with a rolling pin, spread with cream cheese, sliced turkey or ham, and some cheese, roll up and cut into rounds

Shaped Sandwiches - cut with cookie cutters, rolling the bread flat helps as well

Stuffed Muffins - use corn muffin mix as a base, mix according to the package, then add in diced turkey %26amp; veggies or diced ham %26amp; shredded cheese, etc, bake according to the package directions

Tuna salad - I use the scoopable Tostada chips as a holder and top with a cheese flower

Chef Salads with ranch - lettuce, cucumber, carrot, shredded turkey, cheese, chopped boiled egg

Boiled eggs

Fruit kebabs - melons, grapes %26amp; strawberries work well for this

Cheese %26amp; crackers - cut into shapes with cookie cutters

Pasta salad - sometimes with extra meat %26amp; cheese added for protein

For treats: yogurt jellies, panda or koala cookies, marshmallow jams, mini chocolate bars, Goldfish pretzels

For hot lunches: steamed pork dumplings, meatballs (sweet %26amp; sour are a favorite here), steamed rice usually pressed into shapes





quiche recipe



1-2 cups diced ham or chicken or meat of your choice

8oz shredded cheese (or a mix of 8oz of cheese)

2 eggs

1 cup milk

1/2 cup Bisquick or similar baking mix



Spray a muffin pan with non-stick spray.

Cover the bottom of each cup with meat, then sprinkle cheese on top of that (maybe a couple of teaspoons of each).

In a separate bowl, combine eggs, milk and baking mix till the lumps are gone, you may want to use an electric mixer here.

Pour a little of the egg mixture over the meat/cheese mixtures till the muffin cup is filled almost to the top.

Bake 400 for 20-25 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

*I don't know where to buy them but she has used those regular sandwich containers before, I have used that idea to help condense my daughter's lunch box.



Try ebay to purchase?

Here' s 3 pages of boxes, including children's. Note the lids are sold separately, and you can order on line. If you want to buy locally, go to an Asian store.
