Pancake and Rice Cake Bento
For today’s bento I packed some of the Chinese Savory Pancakes that I made yesterday. I made a little extra so that I have enough for the bentos. These pancakes, brown rice cakes, and inari sushi taste pretty good at room temperature. As there isn’t much in the way of vegetables, I added a lot [...]
Happy Friday! We all look forward to the weekends and the excitement starts on Friday. The Ro-Ri boys seem a little more cheerful than usual.
