Living the bento lifestyle...sort of
I woke up Saturday morning at 7:15 a.m. and thought, “If I get ready really quickly, I can make it to the farmer’s market just as it opens.” Arriving just as it opens means I have top pick of the offerings for the week. I shook the sleep from my eyes, fed the dogs, threw [...]
The sandwich in today’s bento box is the current apple of my eye (pun intended). It all started when my brother contacted me one weekend last month, “Have you eaten breakfast? You should eat breakfast. Breakfast is good for you.” Which is Jason speak for, “I want breakfast. Do you want to have breakfast with [...]
Every so often I think to myself I need to make a breakfast for lunch bento again. Everyday I forget. When Sheri of Happy Little Bento posted her breakfast for lunch bento this week, it reminded me I really needed to to this again. I woke extra early to cook the meal for myself, let [...]
My bento box today is full of so much awesomeness I can hardly contain myself. I very nearly ate the very last piece of the pizza you see above for breakfast. But I resisted. It will make a great little side piece to dinner tonight. But the temptation was great I tell you. GREAT! Why? [...]

This morning was all about the quick fix for lunch. I grabbed a vegetarian burrito from the fridge, whipped up some pseudo-tamagoyaki (that nearly fell apart on me argh!), and quickly made a bit of carrot kinpira in the same pan after the eggs were finished. A cut up blood orange rounds out this bento. [...]
It’s back to basics for me as I try to find a new recipe that is freezer AND bento friendly. Today, I’m trying a black bean and quinoa burrito with other tasty goodies for a vegetarian lunch that I hope is a pleases the palate.
