tools of the trade, part 2: boxes
Click here to read "tools of the trade, part 1: picks". :)
There are so many different styles and sizes of boxes and waste-free lunch containers available, sometimes it can be confusing deciding on which one to get (assuming you are not crazy-obsessed like I am and get them all! Ha!) I also understand from my own experience that is can be difficult to gauge the size of containers by looking at pictures. My goal with this post is to show different containers together so you can get a better handle on the sizes of the bento boxes and hopefully be able to get a perspective on what might work for you. I'll also pipe in with some of my pros and cons for various boxes. :)
from bottom to top: Goodbyn, Laptop Lunches, EasyLunchboxes, "4 square" Lock & Lock box, Sassy Box, medium "generic" bento box, small "generic" bento box.
small and medium "generic" bento boxes on left, two-tier bento box and Sassy box on right, sandwich case in front.
The best way to determine your box/container needs is to consider the types of foods you or your child will eat for packed meals and the quantity/amount of food that will be eaten.
I will start with the three biggest containers I use, the Goodbyn, Laptop Lunches, and EasyLunchboxes:
In my guesstimation, I would say the EasyLunchboxes and the Laptop Lunches are very comparable in size.
The biggest difference (to me) between the Laptop Lunches and the EasyLunchboxes is the layout.
The standard Laptop Lunches box comes with two medium boxes, two small boxes and a tiny box for dips, all housed in a hinged outer box.
The EasyLunchboxes comes with one large compartment and two smaller compartments (one is a little larger than the other) all in a one piece bottom, with one lid.
If you are keeping track that makes 6 pieces for one Laptop Lunches system (actually, 8, if you count the dip box lid and a lid for one of the medium inner boxes); and for Easy Lunchboxes the total number of pieces per lunch set is two (just the box and a lid).
Notice in my photo of the Laptop Lunches that there are two teal colored boxes...that's because I couldn't find the magenta one that should have taken one of those teal box spaces. Also notice I have only the dip lid shown and not the actual dip box...again, because I couldn't find it when I was snapping these photos! I have Laptop Lunches pieces coming out my ears and it gets to be a bit of a mess!
The obvious perk of EasyLunchboxes is that they are easy. It is as streamlined of a lunch system as you will find.
Laptop Lunches is obviously more cumbersome in the *pieces* category, however, sometimes being able to lift out one component of the packed meal can be convenient - I often will take out one box of food from the Laptop Lunches to offer as a snack before we are ready to have lunch, for example.
One more thing to consider regarding the Laptop Lunches vs. the EasyLunchboxes is how much storage space they may take in your kitchen. The EasyLunchboxes can nest together, making them more compact for storage. This photo shows 6 (six!) EasyLunchboxes next to 3 Laptop Lunches.
I find the EasyLunchboxes wonderful for packing a "regular" lunch in. To me a regular lunch is a sandwich and a few side items.
** You can see my gallery (past posts) of lunches packed in EasyLunchboxes by clicking here.
You can pack a "regular" lunch in a Laptop Lunches too, but it will take a little bit more creativity to get it to fit. I can fit a whole sandwich in it, but I need to cut it into smaller pieces or make sandwich rolls (what I usually call "sandwich sushi") and work on the arrangement to get it in there.
** You can see my gallery (past posts) of Laptop Lunches by clicking here!. :)
The largest box I have is the Goodbyn. This guy is huge. Although I haven't gone so far as to make a scientific comparison, I would hazard to guess that the Goodbyn has double the capacity of the Laptop Lunches and the EasyLunchboxes.
Here you can see the square section at the bottom could hold a small box from a Laptop Lunches box, plus a dip container with room to spare...while the "head" compartment could hold a whole two-tier bento box! The little water bottle (included with each Goodbyn) can hold 8oz.
Another view, this shows the head section containing one large box from the Laptop Lunches with room to spare:
The Goodbyn could easily hold a whole sandwich (square "body" section), two whole pieces of fruit, such as an apple and a banana (in the "head" crescent shaped section), crunchies in the two narrow side sections, the beverage bottle and a treat in the tiny area next to the bottle! Hope you bring your appetite! ;-)
** You can see my gallery (past posts) of lunches packed in the Goodbyn right here. :)
Moving on...
This picture shows a Sassy box (with inner containers removed) next to an open two-tier bento box.
I think these two are pretty comparable in size, with obviously different layouts.
The two-tier box is fun and cute...it also consists of six pieces! (the two trays for food, a middle lid layer, a top lid and then the clear lid removes to store utensils in, plus a bento belt!).
The Sassy box is really practical and only two pieces (unless you choose to use the inner containers). Sassy box is dishwasher safe, two-tier bento box is not.
Here the Sassy box is compared to my beloved "4 square" Lock & Lock box. I think the capacity is pretty close here, again though, obviously very different layouts. This Lock & Lock box is comprised of six pieces, but happily, they are all dishwasher safe. ;-)
You can easily fit a whole sandwich into less than half of the Sassy Box (and Lock & Lock box, too!) by cutting it in half and stacking the halves (as seen in these pics:
("lions & tigers & bears, oh my!")
("something fishy is going on")
While I don't use the 4 square Lock & Lock boxes for a "regular" lunch all that often (I prefer to use them for "a little of this and a little of that" type lunches), you can do the same sandwich arrangement in those, too:
("puzzle bento")

If you have any questions about bento boxes PLEASE ask in the comments! I'm very happy (eager, even!) to chat about it. :) Despite this post taking foreverrrr for me to prepare and write up (I started a month ago!!), I still feel like I've only scraped the surface on the topic. I will probably be revisiting the topic of boxes soon!

I'm wondering which of these are BPA free? and are they dishwasher safe or do you hand wash all?
- June 19, 2010 at 1:45 PM

Hello Joscelyne! Excellent question!
I can say that EasyLunchboxes, Goodbyn and Laptop Lunches are all BPA free.
I remember the last set of Lock & Lock boxes I ordered had stickers attached that said "BPA free" on them, and in looking a little further I have found this:
And while I don't know how authoritative this source is, from what I have been able to gather the Sassy set is always free of all the yucky crud. It's listed here for Sassy products that are BPA, PVC and Phthalate Free.
I do not have any safety information for any of the "authentic" bento box items. I believe the ones that are made in Japan have higher quality levels than the ones made in China, but I really just can't say for sure.
EasyLunchboxes, the inner boxes of Laptop Lunches, the Goodbyn, Sassy box and Lock & Lock boxes are all dishwasher safe! The outer hinged box for the Laptop Lunches is not and I think (think!) that you should avoid washing the lids to the inner boxes to prevent warping.
I do handwash boxes frequently because with six people in my family my dishwasher fills up FAST! Sometimes a quick handwash for a crumby box is more efficient for me than loading it in the dishwasher. :)

This is such a great post, and since I started reading your blog I have been wondering what kind of boxes I should get, so thank you for the information!
I do have a couple questions--do your kids take these to school in something like a lunch bag, and do you have any suggestions for keeping the food at a good temperature? Thank you so much!

Awesome - now - we want to see where and how you store it all LOL! You almost need a separate lunch-making room for your supplies. :)

- Melissa said... [Reply to comment]
Thanks, everyone! :)
Sandy - regarding being "leak-free"...
**EasyLunchboxes are not - if you use a small piece of something like press n' seal or wax paper they will be pretty darn leak-free if you keep the box upright (don't carry on the side).
** Laptop Lunches are not leak-free, except that one of the bigger inner boxes comes with a lid making it leak-free (just like tupperware) and the little dip box comes with a leak-free lid too.
** Lock & Lock are totally leak-free - nothing sealed inside that box will seep out, BUT the boxes themselves are not sealed off from one another. If you have applesauce in one box it will leak into the other squares unless you use a barrier like Press n' Seal over it.
** Sassy comes with inner boxes with lids but I don't consider them leak-free. I have packed yogurt in them with fine success, but that is with the lunch being kept upright, not on the side, and the yogurt was thick. I'd not want to risk packing anything really watery in there like applesauce.
** Every section of the Goodbyn is totally leak-free from all other sections. The lid is a pain to snap on and off because each area is fully sealed from the others. You could have applesauce in one, salsa in another and crackers in the middle and as long as you have the lid on right everything will stay where it belongs.
Rachel - my kids do carry these in insulated lunchbags. The ones they use allow the lunches to be carried upright, not tilted on the side, so that helps keep everything in place. With an icepack (or two) everything stays at a nice temperature. My 8 year-old son is especially picky about the temps of food, and he stays satisfied 99% of the time. ;-)
I'm going to have a post on lunchbags soon! :)
Raji- I DO need a seperate room for supplies! I'm constantly trying to reorganize my cabinets and drawers to make more space for this stuff.

Melissa.. thank you very much for explaining this, can't wait to see your post on lunch bags so I know which boxes could be stored upright without tilting them. This will help me decide on which set to get first.. =)

I'm eagerly awaiting your post on lunchbags! I got the Laptop Lunchbox for my daughter's lunch, but have had a hard time packing her normal staples like cheese and yogurt. I resorted to using the ice pack inserts from Fit 'n Fresh containers on one side and abandoning one of the bigger box sections, but it's not ideal at ALL.
- June 19, 2010 at 7:37 PM

KLS - Oh no! Is the problem you are having that you can't keep the contents cold enough? What sort of lunchbag are you using now?

What's your preferred box for kid lunches? Do your kids have a preference? I am looking to start waste-free lunches this coming school year and am just a little overwhelmed at all my options. I LOVE your blog. My favorite part is the pictures of how you place things in each box. Great ideas and super fun looking.

Thanks for this! I just got a goodbyn for my son, and it is SOOO much bigger than I pictured. The thing is HUGE. Actually too big for a kid I think..but I like your pics of a smaller box in the byn. had not thought of that! I found the spots really deep, so if I set many different things in the bottom of one section, it would be all mixed up and bounced around.

You, ma'am, are a rock star!
I have a Laptop Lunches, medium bento box, Sassy Box, 4-square Lock & Lock, and Wonder Bread sandwich case. I blame the last three on you and your blog! :)
I was skeptical of the EasyLunchboxes but after seeing them side-by-side with a Laptop Lunches, I am totally ordering them. I love our Laptop Lunches for my husband's work lunches, but the loss of counter space and dozen pieces do drive me nuts!

I'm pretty sure I'm going to order my first box, the 4 square lock & lock. I came across this and wanted to see if you thought it was a good deal.

My EasyLunchboxes were delivered yesterday and I was so excited to finally get started. I ordered the lunch bag and it fits the box perfectly. I was so glad that you did this post on boxes because now I have a frame of reference on how big the boxes are compared to each other. Your blog is wonderful!

Awesome Post!!! I loved seeing your lunches in the catagories of the boxes. It helps me to be inspired to make similar lunches if/when I order different boxes. I can tell that must have been alot of work so good to know it is appreciated.

Sandy - I've looked up that QVC link a couple times (at varying levels of alertness, LOL) and I just can't really figure out what is included in the set. ???
From the picture it looks like there are 5 smaller containers and one big carrying container/case - but reading the description it seems to say something different (only listing 5 pieces total, including one that is "33.8 cups" which has to be the big carry case box). So I'm a little puzzled at what is actually included with that set - but, I do think it is probably a very good deal! I've been really happy with all my Lock & Lock containers...and I have a lot of them! :)

Christy - it's hard for me to pick a preferred box because it really depends on what I'm going to be packing in it and HOW I'm going to be packing it.
If I'm packing a *cute* lunch (more bento-style, packed in a compact fashion) then I really like the Sassy box. It's a nice size for a child's bento.
If I'm packing a lunch *fast* and just needing to get food in a box as quick as I can then I use the EasyLunchboxes. With the EasyLunchboxes there is more space, so you don't need to fuss with getting things arranged *just so* to get food to fit...when I'm rushing out of the house and need to grab food to-go for the kids I usually grab the EasyLunchboxes. They also seem to be easy for my kids to hold on to in the car because of the "lip" around the edge of the box, and the way the box has seperate sections on the bottom they can get a good grip on it while it's in their lap (and we do eat in our car a lot as most places are a bit of a drive from where we live).
As far as my kids having a preference...both my 8yo son and my 3yo daughter LOVE the new frog and panda bento boxes I got from Amazon a while ago. Those are probably their favorites. My son also thinks the Goodbyn is totally cool (and all his friends love it when he took that one to school!).

I've just come across your blog last night and I love it! Thanks for sharing your thoughts about all the different bento boxes. We are going to start sending lunches to school this fall for the first time and I've really been interested in these bento type lunches. This post really helped me figure out what type of bento box I think I will need to get. Thanks!

Came here from Wendolonia Facebook page. I don't have kids and I bought one Laptop Lunchbox for me and I LOOOOVE it. I am not a big sandwich eater if I'm packing though. I love that I can microwave a bigger container while I eat a cold item in a smaller container, that I can take a smaller container out to have a snack mid morning without my whole lunch being in front of me.

Very informative! Is there a type that you feel is more leakproof than the others? I seem to have messy lunches and would hate to have them spill all over the place :( I personally go for things that are cute and pretty, but sometimes they aren't made very well. Would love to know if some of the boxes are BPA and phthalate free, but when things aren't made in the USA you never can tell.

I have the PBK lunch box (Classic Lunch Bag: 8" wide x 4" deep x 9" high) and was wondering what bento would fit right in it. Thanks so much, love your site and ideas.
- July 1, 2010 at 7:52 PM
- Melissa said... [Reply to comment]
Kristyn- Laptop Lunches, EasyLunchboxes, Goodbyn and Sassy boxes and Lock & Lock are all "safe" as far as I can tell. The other boxes I really have no idea. I think a good rule of thumb for most of the "authentic" bento boxes is that the Made in Japan boxes are better than the Made in China items.
As far as *leakproof*...if you are meaning keeping one compartment from leaking into other compartments within the box the Goodbyn is totally leakproof, for sure! Nothing strays from where it belongs if you have the lid on correctly.
Laura- my oldest son had a classic PBK lunch box his Kindergarten year! :) The "four square" Lock & Lock box fits well in there with room to spare for a drink container. The Sassy Box would fit too. Of course, both of these will end up on one end, since the lunchbox carries the lunch sideways. So the contents of the bento box may get jumbled up a little. With some practice and trial & error you'll find what works for you! :)

I've been a follower for some time, just because I think these lunches are the cutest. I have no kids of my own, but I think I want those Easy Lunch Boxes for the time I spend on the road for work. I am going to order me some up. I am always getting that low blood sugar hit cause I don't have time to sit down for lunch. These would be great. Not bulky, just enough food to keep the hunger pains away. Thanks for your great site and honest advice.

I'm going nuts spending 3 days worth of naptimes stalking your blogs - your site really is just lovely! I'm wondering if you know where you could find the Sassy box in stores - I'm in the city in north Texas and have seen Sassy products at Target or Babies R Us but would love to know if you've seen them somewhere on the shelf to save me a trip. Thanks for all your hard work & for sharing it w/ us!

Hey Sarah! I ocassionally see Sassy boxes at the Target I go to. It seems they will have them for a few weeks and then they will be gone for awhile and then they will come back. I don't know what's up with that! They'd be in the baby/toddler area where sippy cups and stuff are sold.
My very first Sassy box was bought at BabiesRUs - that was about 4 years ago. I'm not sure if they still have them or not. I try to avoid the place like the plague. ;-)
I hope you can find one. It's a really practical little box. :)

Hi Melissa! I just found you today, I have been researching bento box lunches (for my hubby) for a couple of days now. I really think the Goodbyn would be perfect for him, but I am curious what lunch box will work for this? Also you mention the ice pack blanket?? What is that? Is it reusable? Thanks for all of your detailed blogging, it is awesome!
- August 18, 2010 at 10:49 PM
- Melissa said... [Reply to comment]
Hello hmgarver! The Goodbyn is a really good choice for adults. It is nice and big and though the lid can be tricky, it is not too tricky for grown-ups. ;-)
And ice blanet is reusable. It's a series of tiny gel packs that are all connected together, but you can cut them apart to fit the size space you need to fill. Here's a link to them on Amazon so you can see what I'm talking about. :) -- http://tiny.cc/t3l5z
I hope that helps! Thanks for reading!

Thanks for the great information! My kids have only 20 min to eat their lunches at school. Do you think the more complicated ones with lots of lids & compartments may hinder them "timewise"? Or, encourage them to eat because of the cuteness factor?
- August 19, 2010 at 5:06 PM
- Michelene said... [Reply to comment]
I'm in! I love the idea and I have been watching you from Mariah for a long time. Now, time to purchase some boxes. What I really love is the cut outs. Such fun to open lunch and have a quirky shape. Great job girl!
- August 20, 2010 at 6:46 PM
- Melissa said... [Reply to comment]
Melanie O - it probably depends on the kid!!
I know my son would likely be hindered because he is more busy talking than eating in the cafeteria. He needs as few obstacles and barriers in his was as possible because he just can't be bothered to deal with it.
My daughter on the other hand is a very motivated eater and a couple lids wouldn't stop her from chowing down (as long as she was able to open them). She'd probably get a kick out of the "cuteness factor" and really enjoy it.

Hello. I just found you today. Love the info! Thank you. Do you know if any of the bento boxes would work well in the Land's End lunch boxes..the classic one to be exact? Also if I purchase the easy lunch boxes is there usually room to pack other things around it like a drink, small yogurt, etc? Can you recommend any small plastic, bpa free containers that I could carry along with the easy lunch box to house seeds/nuts or items that may not be suitable to leaking? Thanks in advance!
- August 20, 2010 at 11:17 PM
- Melissa said... [Reply to comment]
Hi Jenny! Is it the "Classic ClassMate" Land's End lunchbox?
I actually have one of those (LOL). I just tried it and yes, the EasyLunchbox does easily fit in it. There is maybe 1.5" of space along one side.
Depending on the yogurt cup size, it might fit. A yogurt tube would certainly fit easily, and some of those short squat little round yogurt cups would (I'm thinking of the YoPlus ones, cups are like 1" high and 3" round)... I'm sure a small reusable container like a little round Lock & Lock would as well. I don't know about a drink. I'm sure a CapriSun would fit (pains me to write that! LOL), or a narrow juice box.
I'd be happy to snap a pic of the open lunchbox for you with the EasyLunchbox inside and email it to you - if you want me to do that just contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com. :)
Tupperware sells teeny tiny cups called smidgets that would fit in the EasyLunchbox. They are really tiny though, more suited for dips, they only hold about a tablespoon. They also sell another tiny container the size and shape of a shot glass and those do NOT fit.

Have you looked at or tried the Dr. Sears Nibble boxes? I do like to pack cottage cheese and fruit, applesauce and yogurt for my kids so something that doesn't leak is important to me (we have the sassy boxes and so far, they just leak into the larger compartment, which is annoying but at least contained.)

I'm trying to find some of the ice blankets. Is there anywhere else that you've found them other than amazon? Does it matter if they are the blue color that you use? I've found some on amazon that are cryopak brand but are clear. It does say they are non-toxic though but I thought maybe they don't freeze as cold or something.

hi there - thanks for the information! i've read that the goodbyn has some leaking problems - both from the water bottle and the box compartments. do you have any experience with that? thanks!
- January 1, 2011 at 12:03 PM
- Melissa said... [Reply to comment]
Hey Indiana! I have also heard there were a lot of leaking water bottle problems, but I have not had that problem with the two Goodbyns I have. We've used them quite a bit for nearly a year and put the bottles through the dishwasher and they've never leaked!
As for the compartments, if they are sealed completely they will not leak. It is entirely possible to THINK you have a section sealed and it not be... the lid is pretty tricky and takes a heavy hand to get on properly. The only leaking I've experienced is when it goes from the cafeteria back to our home - my boys don't get it all closed up correctly and whatever is leftover in it tends to ooze back out. ;-)

I was at the grocery store today and I found that Ziploc makes a container VERY similar to the easylunchboxes container. It also has the same 3 compartments - comes in a 2 pack for under $3. Just thought I would let people know in case anyone is having a hard time finding things, like me!

My kids have tupperware lunchboxes which are bento style with 4 compartments. they have these leak prove ridges too so you can put 'wet' things in one of the spaces without leaks (although i haven't been brave enough to put yoghurt straight in there!). They're fairly pricey but I agree, no wrappers no waste is terrific. in fact where I live most of the preschools and schools have a no-plastic-wrap rule so these are perfect.

Wow, I'm new to this. I came across your blog via Pinterest (I love the little internet journeys that site takes me on). I knew about the existence of bento boxes, but didn't realize how super cute, healthy and fun they can be! I have a 7 month old daughter so obviously, I'm a little bit of an eager beaver! But I wanted to ask you if you had to just buy one box for a toddler/preschooler which would you buy?

Unfortunately, I've already purchased my lunchboxes for the year. It looks like the double tier bento might fit upright in one of the lunchboxes that would keep a regular bento on it's side. Did you find that to be true ?

Hi Melissa!
What a great post!! I can't remember how I found you....lol ....I think through a post on EasyLunchboxes. Anyways, I had been looking on the Goodbyn website and noticed they have a smaller box. Do you have experience with that size and if so do you think you could get enough "lunch" items in it or would it be better for a snack box?? I have a 2nd grader and a preschooler and was just concerned about the size of the larger Goodbyn. Thanks!
- August 29, 2011 at 9:10 PM
- Melissa said... [Reply to comment]
I don't have the new smaller Goodbyn - but I've seen one in person. It looks like a nice size for a child's lunch, the regular Goodbyn is really quite huge, probably way too big for most preschoolers. In my opinion, anyway. :)
- October 2, 2011 at 10:34 PM
- Melissa said... [Reply to comment]
Thrift Store Mama - that could probably work. Your kiddo would just need to remember to not lay the lunchbox down flat to open, otherwise the bento would go sideways. :)

Hey Kimberly - people often ask me what ONE box I would buy if I could have only one and that is SUCH a hard question for me to answer! But I can say that for a preschooler a smallish box usually is a good choice. When my daughter was in preschool with a lunchtime she used the Sassy Box almost exclusively. The four square Lock & Lock is another nice size for a young age. Hope that helps! :)

Great information. I'm wondering if there are any good stainless steel options? I read recently that even BPA Free is not the best. Thanks. Looking for two second graders.

Hi suthernjen! Two stainless options I use regularly are the Planetbox and Lunchbots. You can find both on my blog -- check this link for those lunches:
Hope that helps! :)

So I just stumbled onto you site and I love the ideas for lunchtime fun. My question is that my son has two separate snack times and a main lunch time at his preschool/daycare. So I need a box that has separate, closed containers. I tend to get a messy lunch bag back even now as I pack things in small Tupperware containers. Any suggestions?
- October 26, 2011 at 5:25 PM
- Melissa said... [Reply to comment]
Hi Mama Bee! Are you looking to put all three lunch needs (two snacks, one lunch) into a single container? That has individual sealed sections? Hmm. The newer Laptop Lunches box comes with four inner containers and two of them can have lids. Another option that I think might suit your needs is the OOTS. I don't have one, but it comes with several lidded containers and might work for you! Check this: http://amzn.to/uzYYIZ

Hi there!
Thank you so much for all the wonderful information!! I was wondering if you'd tell me what a great choice would be for an adult. I love the ease of the Easy Lunchboxes (less "stuff" to keep up with), however you can't use liquidy things in it. I really love the Laptop Lunches, because each container has its own lid, therefore, less spillage.
HELP!! Which one should I get?!
Thanks so much!
- November 2, 2011 at 5:57 PM
- Melissa said... [Reply to comment]
Hey Allyson! You are right, you can't put liquidy things in EasyLunchboxes - that is a drawback. Laptop Lunches do have lids for the inner containers, that is an asset. And if you get the "bento buddies" extra set of inner containers, then you have the option of having one big space along with two smaller dishes for more variety (that would give it a layout similar to EasyLunchboxes). The drawback to LL is having to keep up with all those pieces and it has a higher price -- but if that versatility works in your lunch-packing favor, then it might be worth it to you!
Another option that might work for you is a nice Lock & Lock set - always leak free and there are some sets that might work for you nicely. Check here: http://bit.ly/vNReup The ones listed as "mens lunch set" would be close in capacity to the EasyLunchboxes and LL. :)

Thanks for the reply! I think I'll be putting one of the Lock & Lock sets on my Christmas wish list! :)

I just found your blog - AWESOME! I've been packing bento-ish lunches for a while with just regular plastic containers in a regular bag. I'd love to get the kids (and myself) a good bento box. Since you wrote this before you got a planetbox - I'm wondering how it compares - especially to the laptop lunches system.
- November 17, 2011 at 11:31 AM
- Melissa said... [Reply to comment]
Great question, Bettina! I think the PlanetBox and Laptop Lunches are *comparable* in size, though because the Laptop Lunches are deeper, they have the capability to hold more if you packed it really full. I think PlanetBox would edge out the Laptop Lunches in ease-of-use simply because there aren't so many pieces to keep up with. All those inner dishes for the LL can really fill up the top rack of the dishwasher!

I am so glad I found your blog! I have been wanting to get bento boxes for my son when he starts school (he is only 19 months now so it will be awhile lol)but didn't know where to start! But your page shows me how on the go snacks and lunches are great and easy!
Also thank you for showing the different types of boxes. Money is a bit tight for us and you have shown me that the cheaper boxes work just as well!
Thank you! :)
- January 14, 2012 at 6:56 PM
I am not sure if this has already been answered but where can I find the Sassy boxes? (in pics 8, the teal one, pic 10 the pink one) I am not coming up with anything on the Sassy website and have googled everything I can think of :( Any help is appreciated :)

I have been reading your blog for a while and love, love, love how creative you are (while remaining totally practical, too). I have been using the lock'n'lock four square for a while with my toddlers, and I love it for snacks and nibbles.
My oldest is about to start kindergarten at a school where they have 2 "nutritional breaks" rather than lunch plus recess snacks. The 2 tiered bentos really appeal to me because it makes it easy to pack (and unpack, for her) 2 mini meals without worrying (as much) about her highgrading or trying to self-regulate. But do you have any advice or suggestions?
Thank you!!!

Hi I am new to your site. I am a first time mom of a 22 month old boy Gabriel. He will be starting daycare on the 27th and I was wondering what box you would suggest to house a cold item and something that will need to be reheated?
I love all your lunch ideas and look forward to experimenting with Gabriel's lunches :)
I also have a blog at www.gottamakethecupcakes.com if you want to swing by and check it out :)

- Melissa said... [Reply to comment]
Elissa, that's a good question, and I think it would really depend on what works for your daughter. I'm still working on this now with Paige, who just began Kindergarten. Her snack comes after lunch. She's not good at self-regulating, even when her snack food is separate from her lunch food and just sharing the big lunchbox carrier - she still dips into her snack alongside her lunch bento and then at snack doesn't know what to eat. Then on her days she snubs her packed snack, preferring to finish off whatever lunch she didn't eat in the cafeteria. I guess I don't need to worry about it much, as long as she's eating her fill and being content with the amount of food she's consuming, then my work is done!

Anonymous (#65) - Sassy boxes can sometimes be found at Babies R Us, that is where I got my very first one. My next three Sassy boxes came from Amazon. Hope that helps!

Our Best Winter Chicken Recipes
Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
This 170-calorie slow-cooker version of a classic comfort food takes just 25 minutes of prep and uses reduced-fat cream cheese in its creamy homemade broth.
Chunky Bean and Chicken Chili
Crushed tortilla chips, stirred into the chili's base, give this dish a lusciously silky texture. Put it together in just 20 minutes.
Angel Chicken
Chicken and fresh mushrooms slow-cook in cream cheese, wine and soup. It's easy to put together but tastes complex because of its delicately seasoned cream sauce.
Garlic Chicken with Sweet Potatoes
Whole garlic cloves (even 30 of them!) become mellow and buttery-soft when roasted. Sweet potatoes and onion wedges cook alongside the chicken.
Grape-Stuffed Chicken with Lemon Orzo
Fruit-and-nut stuffing transforms everyday chicken breasts into a company-ready feast. Bonus: It's deceptively simple; you'll have dinner on the table in an hour.
Wild Rice and Chicken Soup
Mix a can of cream of chicken soup, mushrooms, veggies and rice mix for the soup base. Any boneless cooked chicken works in this recipe, but chicken thighs, with more moisture from fat, slow-cook the best.
Chicken Alfredo and Rice Casserole
For a fast warm-up on a cold night, put together this quick and easy version of classic chicken and rice casserole with refrigerated light pasta sauce, cubed cooked chicken and cooked rice.
Warm-Me-Up Chicken Chili
Combine chicken, chopped vegetables and canned beans for this warm and comforting chili. Our recipe gives variations for Slow Cooker Chicken Chili as well as a spicier Chipotle Chicken Chili.
Chicken and Noodles
Chicken, noodles, veggies and herbs simmer in a creamy sauce. It's a perfect one-dish winter meal; just serve with a small salad or dinner rolls.
Slow-Cooker Coq au Vin
We adapted a classic French recipe of chicken cooked in wine for this slow-cooker specialty. Burgundy flavors the meaty chicken and forms the base of the gravy.
Tortellini with Chicken and Cheese
Prepare this chicken dish in just 20 minutes using packaged ingredients. Substitute leftover chicken (or any leftover cooked meat) for the package of frozen chopped cooked chicken breast, if you like.
Chicken Pot Pie
Ina Pinkney, owner of Ina's in Chicago--home of this pot pie recipe--calls this dish creamy, chickeny goodness. The pastry tops can be made a day or two ahead. Bake as directed; cool and then cover loosely with plastic wrap and store at room temperature.
Oven-Barbecued Chicken
Oven-baking the chicken makes this recipe a breeze for any time of the year, and homemade barbecue sauce is always a hit. Serve with rolls and slaw.
Fast Chicken and Rice
This skillet meal is ready in just 10 minutes! Combine chicken, cooked brown or white rice, peas, almonds, and bottled stir-fry sauce.
Chicken Supreme Casserole
This one-dish meal uses reduced-fat soup, fat-free milk, salt-free lemon-pepper seasoning and light mayonnaise for lower fat, calories and sodium than traditional casseroles.
Greek-Style Chicken Skillet
Chicken and fresh vegetables simmer in a garlic-tomato broth for an easy skillet dinner. Feta cheese adds a touch of creaminess. Serve with either plain or flavored couscous.
Simply Ramen Chicken Soup
Simply Ramen Chicken Soup gives you a meal in a bowl that's ready in only 15 minutes. Oregano adds a from-scratch taste to the simple soup.
Moroccan Chicken Stew
Combine spices with raisins and apricots to season this slow-cooker chicken stew. Serve on couscous and topped with toasted pine nuts and fresh cilantro.
Easy Italian-Style Enchiladas
Go cross-cultural by combining chicken, Italian pasta sauce and mozzarella cheese in Mexican tortillas.
Texas-Style Casserole
Patterned after a legendary Texas recipe, this irresistible main dish includes seasoned chicken stacked up with chili peppers, tortillas, sour cream sauce and cheese.
Antlers Wild Rice Soup
We like the smooth richness of this chunky main-dish soup from Antlers Restaurant at Breezy Point Resort in Breezy Point, Minnesota.
Another comforting chicken soup: Creamy Velvet Chicken Soup, the signature dish in the re-created L.S. Ayres Department Store Tea Room (circa 1905) at the Indiana State Museum, Indianapolis.
Unforgettable Chicken Pie
This from-scratch deep-dish chicken casserole comes from a Caledonia, Michigan, reader. "It's not your run-of-the-mill chicken pie," says the reader, who adds a bit of pork sausage for farm-hearty flavor. "Anyone who tries it just can't get enough of it."
Slow-Cooker French Chicken Stew
Save time with premade pasta sauce for this slow-cooker recipe. Tender chicken, herbs and fresh vegetables blend for a crowd-pleasing dish.
Country-Style Chicken Paprikash
A paprika-seasoned sour cream sauce adds richness to tender, juicy chicken. Serve with spaetzle or noodles. The recipe comes from the Sidekick Cafe in Osseo, Michigan.
Cashew Chicken
A package of frozen veggies, canned mushrooms and canned soup shorten the prep work in this takeout-style recipe.
Creamy Chicken-Broccoli Bake
Chicken breast and chopped broccoli combine with a soup-based cream sauce and noodles in this classic potluck dish. You can lighten the traditional recipe by using reduced-fat, reduced-sodium soup and fat-free sour cream, if you prefer.
Chicken with Lemon-Thyme Dumplings
This country-style chicken soup with dumplings will remind you of Grandma's recipes--hearty, rich and comforting.
Showstopper Chicken Surprise
Smoked cheese melts inside chicken breasts for this easy-to-make entree. It's from the Roth Kase USA cheese factory in Monroe, Wisconsin. The company says the hole in the center of its Italian-style Rofumo lets the distinctive hickory-smoke flavor penetrate the cheese. If you can't buy Rofumo, substitute smoked Gouda, Edam or cheddar.
Three Sisters Corn-and-Chili Chowder
Diane Nemitz of Ludington, Michigan, kept experimenting with the Native American three sisters--corn, beans and squash--until she created this satisfying soup. "I've been experimenting with corn chowders for a while," she notes. "This is the one my husband liked best. Roasting the corn kernels makes the difference."
Slow-Cooked Chicken and Biscuits
Dress up packaged biscuit mix with cheddar cheese, then bake while a chicken and vegetable mixture simmers in your slow cooker. A small package of cream cheese adds a nice finish to the chicken.
Roast Chicken with Caramelized Onions and Fall Fruit
Apples, pears and cranberries mix with caramelized onions in a luscious tumble over chicken breasts. Why leave the skin on and bones in? Trust us; you'll notice the extra flavor.
Easy Chicken Noodle Soup
Leftover chicken and frozen noodles cut prep time for this ultimate comfort food.

Israeli Salad
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I was introduced to this salad in a tourist hotel that sat at the edge of a hutong in Bejing, China. A group of Israeli tourists was also staying at the hotel and most mornings I'd have breakfast with them. I'm a very early riser and would sneak to the dining room for a cup of coffee rather than disturb Bob with my restlessness. It bothered these kind folks to see me sitting by myself and they insisted I join them at their table. Breakfast in a Chinese tourist hotel is a multicultural affair that features food, usually served buffet style, that will appeal to all the groups who are guests of the hotel. My friends, although not worried about keeping kosher, had a separate dining area with an array of food that centered on salads and other foods our hosts thought more typical of an Israeli or Mediterranean diet. My companions would gather various vegetable elements from the buffet and bring them back to the table where they were tossed with chopsticks and dressed with fresh lemon and whatever oil was available. Though not accustomed to salad at six in the morning, I was charmed into sharing theirs for the duration of my stay. Although there is some chopping involved, the salad is very easy to assemble and it's perfect for a summer meal when tomatoes and cucumbers are abundant. If you haven't had this salad, I hope you will give it a try. While the salad is delicious, it does not keep well, so dress it just before serving and make no more than you will use in one sitting. Here's how it's made.
Israeli Salad...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
1 large green bell pepper
3 (6-to 8-ounce) tomatoes, halved, seeded, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 large English cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, cut into 1/2-inch dice
3/4 cup oil-cured black olives, pitted, quartered
2/3 cup chopped red onion
1/3 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1) Char pepper over gas flame or in broiler until blackened. Enclose in plastic bag 15 minutes. Peel, seed, and cut pepper into 1/3-inch cubes. Place in large bowl.
2) Add tomatoes, cucumber, olives, onion, and parsley. Whisk oil and lemon juice in small bowl to blend; season with salt and pepper, then mix into vegetables. Let vegetables marinate at least 15 minutes but not more than 3 hours before serving. Cover and chill. Yield: 6 servings.

What a fun story, because I also noticed how multicultural the hotel breakfasts were in Beijing when I was there. I love this type of salad, especially the addition of parsley. I've seen it called many different names and of course the variations are endless!

As spin doctors continue to weigh in on Michelle Obama's comment, it must be obvious that even she would wish to restructure her proud-to-be-an-American sentence for more clear communication. In context, it seems that Michelle Obama was referring to the level of participation this year's candidates have been able to bring to the primary process. It didn't quite match the turnout in 1972, but came close. Can Michelle Obama be right that "hope is finally making a comeback"?

Map Editing
- Please follow the Canada Post street type abbreviation to reduce map clutter by not using long road type name.
e.g. John St, Bayview Ave, Don Valley Pky, Slick Dr, Main Blvd
See http://www.canadapost.ca/tools/pg/manual/PGaddress-e.asp#1423617 for full details in English and French.
- Canada Post also published the abbreviations for provinces and territories [1]
e.g. Whitehorse, YT Toronto, ON Charlottetown PE
- For wide roads (at least 3 lanes on each direction) with two directions of traffic, create two one-way roads so that a GPS lock will be made correctly. Note: standard lane width is about 3.5m, typical GPS accuracy is about 10-20m.

Problems and Issues
Canadian highways are defined differently than their US counterparts, please have a look at the discussion page and comment.
The Montreal Area has unique issues of its own.
Development Plans for definitions
Towns, cities villages etc... To save space Just put in the name of the city, example "Toronto" not "City of Toronto", or for smaller places use "Springfield" not "Town of Springfield" or "Village of Springfield" Also unique to Canada is we don't have state or province fields available to us when editing, please avoid the use of the province after the place. For example don't put in "Springfield, Qc" or "Springfield, On" because it is known to make two towns in the same place, and is almost impossible to eradicate. Many towns have "Springfield" and "Springfield, Qc" in the same area which confuses things which we're trying to avoid.
Quebec Roads Autoroutes, or limited access highways, such as the 20/40/55 or any *40 are considered freeways
The big exception to this rule is Autoroute 50 which is still a freeway, even though some small parts of it are not limited access and some are only two lane with no divider.
100 & 200 series highways, for example the 117, the 132 138 148 201 are major highways when compared to 300 series highways and should be in red.
300 series highways such as the 315,321,327, and the 329 are minor highways and should be in yellow.
Ontario Roads all 400 series highways are in blue as they are limited access freeways. Also other highways for example the 174 just east of ottawa are also in blue as they are limited access.
Certain Major highways are two lane but are still in red because they collect the minor highways, and many county roads and we need to distinguish them, examples are the 174 east of Ottawa/Orleans, the 17 (also known as part of the trans-canada)the 138, 38 the 7 in eastern Ontario.
County roads will be in yellow as they have higher speed limits them most main roads
Certain accented French characters do not work in Waze, until they do please use their un-accented equivalent. ie: é=e ô=o ç=c Waze at the moment will pronounce them as "copyright" which can confuse things. Hopefully this will only be a temporary fix.

DEM Rep. Says The Tea Party is The 'Same Group' Of 'White Crackers Who Fought To Keep Segregation
Democratic Rep. Charlie Rangel called the Tea Party the "same group" of "white crackers" who opposed civil rights in an interview published Friday.
"It is the same group we faced in the South with those white crackers and the dogs and the police," the longtime New York congressman told the Daily Beast. "They didn't care about how they looked."
Rangel said the Tea Party should be defeated the same way segregationists were ultimately beaten.
"It was just fierce indifference to human life that caused America to say enough is enough. 'I don't want to see it and I am not a part of it.' What the hell! If you have to bomb little kids and send dogs out against human beings, give me a break," he said.
Rangel also had scathing words for House Republicans as a whole, accusing them of doing more damage to American competitiveness than Al-Qaeda, according to the Daily Beast.
"What is happening is sabotage. Terrorists couldn't do a better job than the Republicans are doing," Rangel said.
And Rangel said any "reasonable" Republicans are immediately placed in the party's firing line.
"Chris Christie, who is a big Northeasterner, and people only go for Christie because he is reasonable. He says something nice about the president helping out Jersey and now he is on the hit list by Republicans," Rangel said. "And now my friend Peter King is on their hit list. Peter King, a Republican, is considered a godd-mn communist."

Freescale has been pioneering work in the semiconductor industry for more than 50 years now. Once a division of Motorola, Freescale delivered the world's first high-powered germanium transistor used mostly for car radios. That started their streak of innovation for years to come.
Investing more than $780 million a year in research and development, Freescale has components in electronics we use nearly every day and all over the world. Their newest work improves upon their Xtrinsic touch-sensing software, allowing touchscreens to be able to work through drops or films of water, aka "electrical noise."
The Xtrinsic 3.0 software builds on the highly successful TSS library, a proprietary set of common human-machine interfaces, for their touch-sensing modules. Along with the new water tolerance feature, it also includes noise detection, and an algorithm to help reduce false touches.
In order to accomplish such sensitive touch detection, the software combines extremely high sensitivity with a very low capacitance measurement resolution. In addition, users of the software are offered the choice of defining sensitivity themselves, or letting the auto-sensitivity calibration do it for them based upon noise level analysis.
For some real-world comparison, put a little water on any smartphone screen and try to run an app -- see how random and chaotic the device will act. Xtrinsic has exceeded through software elegance, not simple brute-force coding.
The downside is that this software update is only for Freescale devices and screens.
Since the new software is just an update, it can easily be integrated into currently existing systems without increasing the system's cost. Furthermore, it also works with Freescale's touch-sensing input module, which can be found in many hardware platforms.
The software was designed for medical, industrial, and auto infotainment applications to upgrade interfaces from mechanical to touch activated. The tech is being geared toward the industrial market, where simplicity and resilience to the environment is key.
The second some water or oil lands on a CNC controller screen, accidents will immediately follow. It's about time someone addressed this issue. However, if we can now waterproof the hardware under those touchscreens and devices, can we also get similar software features added to smartphones and touch tablets? Freescale could make a fortune licensing out their "touch-detection algorithm."
