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!
Between packing up stuff we don't use constantly, house hunting and viewing, work, and day to day life (not to mention the fact that Kaia is teething, AND she just got her 12 month immunizations...), I haven't even been eating lunch, nevermind bento-izing and photographing it.
But tonight, I put in a little effort for hubby's lunch for tomorrow. I have been making him lunches, but nothing with enough color/variety that I'd consider it photoworthy at all. :3
Roundy Lock n Lock with salad and dressing, square side dish of red grapes. Main container - plain onigiri with a chick soy sauce bottle, chicken burgers cut into chunks, with a container of BBQ sauce for company (yes, new containers! No more HK for hubby! I also got a new bento box, but haven't been able to use it yet), celery, and half a crunchy peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich.
I'll try to be better with my lunches (or at least actually EAT), but no guarantees, at least not until life calms down. x_X
On a side note, but still food related - I bought a new cookware set. Haven't cracked it open, and won't until we move (just one more thing to repack), but it's snazzy! It's bright orange - this picture I found doesn't really do it justice. Hopefully this works; I'm a total HTML n00b.
Yay, I found time to make a semi-bento lunchie for hubby! ^_^
Contents: Ham and cheese sandwich on a roll, carrots, plum wedges (that was one huge plum!), corn, and hot pepper rings.
Hopefully I can keep this up. I missed bentoing. :3
Ok, so it isn't much to look at - but it's a start, right?
Seriously though, if you saw what I had to work with, you'd applaud my lame bento...need groceries. But I'm cheap, so I'm making due with what I have. ^_^;
Just needed to make a bento for my husband, as I'll be at work during lunch, and I don't work long enough to warrant a break...so I'll just eat some salad or something when I get home.
I use a 1L Lock & Lock box for his bento, as I was unable to find a suitable (read: not pink and cutesy like mine) bento box for him without breaking the bank. This one cost me about 6 bucks at Zellers, for you Canadian folks. I like it, because it has three removable dividers, and is microwave safe. He likes it, because it's functional, and it isn't pink. Win-win, right? Ha ha.
Contents: Peanut butter (crunchy!) and grape jelly sandwich, plum, mini burgers, hot pepper rings and a mini tomato from my garden, and some steamed broccoli and mini carrots.
This is actually the first time I've ever made burgers of any sort, as I don't eat meat...but I'll cook it for my husband and daughter, so I figured it was time to make the effort. Result - he says they are "fine". Hmm...
I know, I know, the picture quality is terrible. But my camera needs to be replaced, and the lighting in the house could be better. I'm too cheap to buy a new camera just yet, though. Eventually...
