It's been a year, but I'm back! FinallyFINALLY stopped and took a photo, haha. :P Penne pasta with mushroom-y tomato sauce and parmesan. Carrots, orange, and strawberry. Mmm...I'll do my best to keep up with this. I've actually missed it! I have been bentoing, but I've (obviously) been extra terrible with updates. Reward to me - two weeks of posts at least 3x per week = new bento item of my choice...so, I have to keep up with it now! XDI love this little bento box - it's a Floream bento box, and has awesome little (removeable!) compartments. And, it's microwaveable. Perfect, since you can just pop out whichever compartment you want warmed. :D
Yes, I am alive. I actually HAVE been making bentos fairly regularly, but just haven't had time to take and post pictures lately. Anyone want a toddler? :P
In this bento for hubby - main layer, leftovers! Buttered cooked carrots, stuffing, turkey. Fruit layer - kiwifruit, blueberries, blackberries. Under the lid - Welch's fruit snacks.
I'll try to keep up with this again, I've missed the bloggy-ness. >_<
I also have a new Floream bento box en route for me, hurray! The dividers look awesome, so I'm totally looking forward to it!
I had no idea what to make him for lunch. I had two small tortillas leftover. Solution! Random wraps! There is cheddar cheese, turkey breast deli meat, lettuce mix, and Miracle Whip in them, for the curious. Fruit layer is mango and kiwifruit. Monkeypick for company!
I know, meh, but it's healthy! :P
Yay, finally using my new little Winnie the Pooh bento box. ^__^
A simple tossed salad with French dressing is hiding in my blue bento box, and cucumber slices, cheese cubes and blackberries are in the other. Healthy, and simple - simple is good, considering I threw this together just before having to head out the door (I'm leaving now!).
Bye! :P
...so it's late and I don't feel like cooking, ok?! Haha, no meat in this one - it's already 10:30, and I'm not staying up much longer, so it'll have to do. :P
Top tier of mango and blackberries, with a little green monkey food pick for company. Bottom tier of banana sushi sprinked with raisins, and a tiny bit of cubed cheese...needed to get SOME protein in there somehow! ^^;
I blame hubby - he told me not to cook the chicken I had thawed for dinner today, so there was no deliberate leftovers for bento. At least it's healthy?
On a totally not-bento-related note - my daughter is setting out to give me snow white hair before I hit 30 years of age, I swear! Today, I heard her giggling her "I'm up to no good!" laugh, so I turn around...and she's standing on the coffee table! x_x
Yesterday, she pulled her little activity table out of her room, took the top off...and climbed onto it and sat there. Then, she tried standing on it, and I took her off and hid it from her. She was very thrilled with me, as you can guess. ("DUMB! DUMB!" she says. She has a knack for picking up bad words!)
18 month old kid, free to good home. Haha, anyone want a teething toddler? :P (Seriously, she has -7- teeth coming in at once...no wonder she's so cranky!)
That's right, hubby put together his own bento this time around, for the first time - in his new bento box.
He said it looks like vomit and fruit, lol - it's leftover Hamburger Helper, with some blackberries and kiwifruit in the other tier. He asked me if he had to peel kiwifruit, and sighed when I told him yes, you reallyreally should, unless you want to eat furry fruit! He ended up halfass peeling it and cutting it in half - but he made his own bento! I'm impressed nonetheless. I think he really wanted to use his new box, but he also wanted his leftovers, so he made the two work. Hopefully it doesn't leak! This'll be a good test. ^^;
I really love this thing! It's a good size for him - 780mL, I think?, and nice and solid without being heavy. I'm glad I splurged and bought the darn thing. I had been putting it off for a long while - shipping on men's size bento boxes sucks! - but hurray, hubby finally has his own proper bento box! ^__^
It comes with chopsticks in the lid, but he'll never use them. I'll probably pick up Pocky, and stick some in there instead. :P
And yes, we're well again, so I'll be back on the bento train! :D
Hubby and I both came down with whatever stomach bug our daughter had. He had to call in sick on Friday, I've had to call in for both today and tomorrow, as I know I won't be well enough by then to function.
Hubby's previous bento is still sitting in the fridge. He says he's scared to eat it. I don't blame him.
So, no bentos for a few days, until we're up and eating again. Bleh.
