About

Hi, I’m Kathy.

I am passionate about making healthy food attractive and often cute. Creating to share on this blog is my favorite hobby. I am proud that I have continually created new content for 12 years. I share many lunches and activities planned with or prepared for those I love.

    Thanks for ‘liking’ my post; I think you’ll enjoy some more of my vegan and vegetarian recipes.
    I would love to see your needlework! I used to do a lot and hoped to get back, but that will have to wait a while.
    I was not familiar with the term ‘bento’ until I read your blog; thanks for the info!
