Mom Prepares Cartoonish Dishes That Make Her Food Come to Life

Ever put a dish in front of your kid only for them to cover their mouths and shake their heads in exaggerated horror as if it’s the grossest food they’ve ever endured? Sure, you might not be a world-class chef, but sometimes kids can be picky about what food looks like.

If only there was a creative way to make your child excited about eating nutritious foods…

Say hello to Etoni Mama, a woman who teaches bento cooking, otherwise known as Asian take-out food. But not just any Asian food…Asian food with cartoon characters designed on them.

We’re not just talking making a funny face out of a piece of sushi, people. We’re talking about creating Winnie the Pooh from an egg to Forkie from Toy Story 4 out of some rice, designed like a world-winning piece of art right on your plate.

Don’t believe us? She posts all of the creative meals she makes on her Instagram account, which has more than 135,000 followers, and every single one is more impressive than the next.

Even if it doesn’t get your kids to eat their food, it sure is engaging to look at! Check out some of her amazing food creations below.

    Just looking for a warm hug.
