Top: Tuna snacks on romaine; roma tomato; cantaloupe; blueberries; cucumber slices; penguin soy sauce bottle (Thank you Candace for the handy funnel!)

Bottom: shrimp ramen (My first experience… Loved it!); carrot; broccoli; Italian beans

This bento was so tasty, I think I might make the same one for Monday!

Michael said he didn’t care what I packed him for lunch, so I had a little fun.

Top: Cantaloupe and blueberries

Middle: tomato and hard boiled egg; sauteed veg

Bottom: bbq chicken; mushroom barley pilaf

Much healthier than delivery pizza!

Top: Bunny egg (this was the first time I used my new egg molds); turkey

Middle: sauteed veg

Bottom: cantaloupe and blueberries

Hard boiled eggs are more fun to eat when they have a cute bunny face on them.

I had some faux crab to use up and thought, what better contents for a bento than sushi? I attempted my own California rolls. They were tasty and pretty, but when I tried to pick them up they crumbled. Oh, well. I just dug in with a spoon.

Top: the sushi is: rice, faux crab, radish, carrot and spinach (for lack of seaweed); borrowed Michael’s penguin soy sauce bottle

Middle: cantalope and blueberries

Bottom: pickles and olives

This was very visually appealing. Plus, I had all five tastes: sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami. Perhaps I need to find a sushi-making tutorial?

(Forgive fuzzy pic. Batteries were dying.)

Top: mushroom barley risotto, yogurt cheese cubes, mixed veg

Middle: pomegranate yogurt and  blueberries

Bottom: granola

I should start portioning all my meals into my bento box. When I open it at lunch, it seems like so little food, but by the time I’m done, I’m full.
