Salted Rose Onigiri Mother’s Day Bento

These gorgeous Salted Rose Onigiri are sheer edible elegance! Made with homemade pickled rose petals and rose salt, these rice balls are guaranteed to impress with their effortless beauty and taste.

In honor of Mother’s Day, onigiri is getting an elegant, sophisticated spring makeover, and it’s all thanks to one surprising star ingredient: roses. These beautifully blushing rice balls are flecked with tart yet floral pickled rose petals, and accessorized in a shower of sparkling pink rose salt – a topping capable of turning any food item into a queen. What mother (or female, for that matter) wouldn’t fall head-over-heels for these gorgeous lunchtime jewels? And the best part: they’re super easy to make!

Candy Cane Sushi Christmas Bento

Upgrade your holiday menu plans with these Candy Cane Sushi Rolls – gorgeously festive uramaki rolls that are 100% vegan, and colored naturally with homemade dyes. Full video tutorial + plenty of tips will have you rolling out festive Christmas sushi in no time!

Confession: I am a self-diagnosed candy cane addict. My symptoms include hoarding candy cane ice cream until my freezer contains more cartons than the store, inhaling peppermint-laced desserts at an unsafe velocity, and withdrawal symptoms come January, once the stores begin the candy cane extirpation process. My addiction is also to blame for these Candy Cane Sushi: brilliantly striped uramaki (inside-out) rolls that are filled with red and green veggies, fresh mint leaves, and enough holiday festiveness to put regular old candy canes to shame. Because who says that sushi can’t be incorporated into the traditional holiday fare?

Sailor Moon Noodles Bento Box

Unleash your inner moon princess by making Sailor Moon Noodles! Featuring super easy, 100% naturally colored pink noodles that look gorgeous in any bento box!

Okay, for reals: if this Sailor Moon Noodles Bento Box doesn’t have you shouting “moon prism power!” from the rooftops for all to hear in your very best pretty sailor soldier voice, then I haven’t done my job right. As a Sailor Moon superfan, I took it upon myself to produce the most elegant, magical girl infused bento box I possibly could, one that was a true ode to the celestial elegance that is Sailor Moon, that radiated edible powers of love and justice that no mortal being could resist. Just as Sailor Moon takes “cute and girly” to a whole new level of refinement, I too aimed to make this a bento that celebrated the cute side of femininity, that elevated all things pink to a “rose gold” tier of sophistication. I truly believe Sailor Moon noodles accomplish just that.

Pumpkin Spice Onigiri Bento

Onigiri just got a major fall makeover, thanks to the addition of pumpkin spice! A must-try for all pumpkin spice lovers.

Yes, I went there. I’m not sure if the rice ball gods will forgive me, but I have gone ahead and paired rice with pumpkin spice, and it’s truly everything you’d expect of a pumpkin spice creation – warm, fulfilling, and inexplicably addicting. Warning in advance though: these are not your typical onigiri. They teeter flirtatiously between savory and sweet. But I have faith that you can all find it in your heart to welcome these little harbingers of delectable fall bliss into your life.
