Make & Buy Combo

I aim to make healthy bento, but I don’t always have time to create from scratch. The completed bento is most often a combination of items I made and bought. Thanks to frozen boxed products, grocery-baked goods, ready-to-bake dough and restaurant take-outs. It makes bento fixing less brain-racking on days when my creativity need some pumping.
