Foggy Day Bento

Today was a foggy day, and everyone was in the mood for something warm to eat, so here's what I whipped up today.

In the left side is Ramen noodles, in the right container there is apple sauce in a silicon cup, raspberries with chocolate chips inside, peace sign shaped pretzel thins, and yogurt covered raisins in a silicon cup.

Quick Bento

This was a quick and easy bento I made by just throwing things together that I had handy. In the large section there's a slice of herb bread, italian dressing in the red silicon cup, and a bed of mixed greens. In the two smaller sections there's pretzels with a handful of M&Ms and strawberries and raspberries.

Whole Foods Bento

A four square "bento" pre-made in Whole Foods, I saw it and I knew I had to buy it. This is a Mediterranean one, but they had others as well. Top row: hummus with a decorative lemon wedge, tabouli salad. Bottom row: mini falafels and mini pita breads. So cute, easy to take and perfect to pack for lunch.

A quick bento I threw together for my niece and nephew to share for dinner because they had a huge lunch at the family potluck. On the left most is yellow nectarine slices and raspberries, cheese flavored popcorn, goat cheese, pesto and tomato pizza and mixed green salad, all in a sistema cube box.

Sistema Bento

A dinner bento in a Sistema box. The top section has two slices of Greek pizza from California Pizza Kitchen. The bottom section has pretzels, carrots, and a checkered and a striped apple.

A Sweet Treat

We made churros con chocolate for dessert this weekend. It was delicious. After our trip to Peru we were truly inspired by this decadent dessert and decided to try and make it this weekend. I have to say it turned out pretty well! :)

 The churros were a cinch to make and tasted soo good and really had that cinnamon  kick, and the chocolate was rich and super yummy.

Dinner Sandwich Bento

This was a simple bento I made for dinner. It has yogurt covered raisins, apple slices, a few strawberries and a jalapeno avocado grilled chicken sandwich from Cheesecake Factory. It was so good.

Sorry for the terrible picture quality. This was a quick bento I made using things in my freezer. On the left is frozen pesto pasta with squash and tomatoes, there are red apples, and two spring rolls with sauce on top. 

post workout snack bento

This bento has olive tapenade hummus, whole grain pita chips, raspberries and a few strawberries. It was a very satisfying snack after a good workout.

Plated Snack Bento

So I couldn't find my boxes for my snack bento because they were all in the dishwasher, but here is a bento presented on an old plate.

The contents (clockwise) are a peanut butter christmas tree sandwich with sprinkle ornaments, hexagonal cheese flavored crackers, apple slices and some steamed carrots.

Panini Bento

This was a delicious bento I made for lunch one day. The contents are a grilled chicken panini on buttermilk bread with mustard and lettuce, a Kellogg's Granola bar in chocolatey pretzel flavor, a few pickles in a paper cupcake cup, and yellow peaches.
