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!)
Looks familiar, ne? This is part of hubby's lunch for tomorrow - strawberries, a kiwifruit, cubed cheese, baby carrots, and some dip. The rest of said lunch consists of a tuna sandwich, and two huge sugar cookies. (Not pictured, obviously. They just aren't photoworthy at all!)
I've ordered a few bento goodies from evilBay, to help get me back into the bento-in' life - fish and car egg molds, a Winnie the Pooh bento box, and a bento box for Josh! Yay! I can actually make him properly set-up bentos soon! The lock&lock container I have been using works ok, but doesn't allow for any real variation in setup, since it's so deep. The new one is two layers, so it'll be shallow enough that I can do more with it, but still have enough food in it for him. ^__^
I need to pick up some cherry tomatoes, and then I'll be trying a yummy-looking pasta recipe for lunch! Mmmm...pasta goodness.
Also, starting tomorrow, I'm officially back on my quasi-diet. I don't calorie count or anything; I just portion control, eat only until satisfied, not full, and aim to eat only healthy foods, and making bentos regularly will definitely help with that! The big thing for me is to cut out pop - I'm a total Pepsi addict. I'll manage, though...I think. ^^; Wish me luck!
Oh my goodness...I'm alive! Sorta. :P Jiffy bento I threw together for lunch yesterday - strawberry and kiwi, diced. Sliced cucumber, and some marble cheese cubes. Exciting, hmm? At least I actually put something together again.
(Yes, Adam - I updated sometime this year! :P)
Trying to get back into the swing of bento-ing again...wish me luck!
Happy Thanksgiving, to any Canadians out there! Mom cooked dinner for everyone yesterday, so leftovers to the rescue!
I made turkey "fried" rice. I love this stuff - it tastes good, uses up any leftover meat you have kickin' around, and it's a FAST add to a bento! Other tier is cheese cubes, a plum, and carrots.
This one is actually for hubby, but I figured it would be ok to put it in my pink piggy bento, since he's just eating at home - no work for him, since it's a holiday. :P
Sad - the bentos I'm happiest with to date, and the worst pictures ever. Made these tonight, and it's dark out, so the light in the house is even worse than normal. And normal is pretty bad. I even tried tweaking them with Photoshop...oh well.I got sick of using the same lame stuff day after day, so I went crazy and spent $96 on groceries.Our bentos are almost the same thing. Mini bagels with turkey, lettuce and cheese. Mine have mustard, his have Miracle Whip. Grape tomatoes, skewers of green and gold kiwifruit. Turkey pepperettes. And sugar snap peas in mine - he tried one, and said he'd only eat them if I steamed them first.I'll try to make bentos during light hours from now on, at least til we get into our new place (November). It won't be viable soon though - winter is coming, and it's getting darker sooner. Yay Canada?
