For lunch at work, we’re having vegetable fajitas. So I made a little snack bento for the evening (I have long shifts). I threw in some mixed dried fruit and nuts, baby carrots, and some leftover noodles from last night’s dinner. Then I added a piece of rice candy for a little sweetness.

Bento 37
Last night we had spinach pasta with tomatoes, onion and garlic. So I added some of that to my bento, then my Mom told me she would bring me a sub sandwich for lunch so I just put some garlic bread and sliced nectarine in here to finish it off as a snack bento.

Bento 33 – Zen Garden
I am really happy with how this bento turned out. I think it’s reminiscent of a zen garden. I used fresh green beans and red potatoes for the main part of this bento – it is the part that reminds me most of a zen garden. The green beans are like the sand and the [...]

Last night for dinner, we had some spaghetti with garlic bread. Since I haven’t had spaghetti in a while, I thought it would be nice for my lunch too. After thinking about which bento box would be best, I choose my “authentic” style bento and fashioned the noodles and sauce into little nests. For the [...]

Wow my bentos are adding up fast. I’m glad that I’ve been able to keep up making the bentos, sometimes I get into things and it’s hard to keep it up. But making the bentos has been very fun so far and I think I’m getting better and better at putting them together. This bento [...]

I made lunch for my friend/coworker and I on Saturday. We normally have lunch provided but I think it would be nice to have a yummy bento instead. They’re a little different because my friend doesn’t like many foods. First here’s hers It has green beans, edamame, carrots, hummus w/ sesame seeds on top, and [...]

Noodle Salad
Last night I over indulged in alcohol, and therefore am still kind of blah. I wanted to make something for Jason and I for dinner though. So I came up with this cool salad to help combat the heat and our hangovers. Jason doesn’t really enjoy pasta salads, but he said it turned out good. [...]
