Bento Beauties
The Instagram sensation that is candy sushi may be a kid’s dream snack, but those
sashimi stand-ins pack a lot of sugar. Our healthier take swaps in coconut-rice
“nigiri” for the crispy-rice-cereal-bar base, and gets topped with apricot jam, sliced
fruit, and toasted coconut rather than gummy candy. Set out the fixings for your
little maki masters to assemble, and turn school lunch into show-and-tell. See page
113 for the recipe.
CUSTOM CABINET
HOW-TO
MAKE IT YOURS
Our entryway console is
built from two unfinished
wood cabinets, which we
painted a soft green. We
added wooden legs to elevate
the pieces and make room
underneath for more storage;
you can also mount the cabi-
nets on the wall or stack them.
OPTIMIZE SPACE
Stick self-adhesive metal
hooks inside the doors,
and adjust the shelves (each
cabinet comes with two).
ASSIGN THEM
Designate a cubby for every-
one in your household—
even your pets. Reserve one
for mail and general use.
