A Quick February Bento

A quick shot of my bento from lunch today. So much going on lately, hardly time to think much less blog but I'm trying to get back to it.

Put together a quick bento today so we could get out in the sun for a few minutes. The days are starting to get noticeably longer and brighter. We don't have very much snow right now, maybe 2" and the roads are pretty dry. Looking forward to more spring-like weather and warmer temps. 25° here today!

Bento & Sky

We are supposed to get a big snowstorm tonight - storm warning and all. They are calling for 12" but it's still kind of decent looking out. I took this scenery pic today at lunch time. We drove across town and sat in the sun while we ate. I just love the dramatic sky and clouds we get in the winter.

Not only did we have sun we also had a simple bento lunch. I had the one on the left - strawberries, pineapple, string cheese (it's buried under the animal crackers) animal crackers, celery & pb, and a flatout with cream cheese, carrot, & raisin. Dave's was basically the same, minus the fresh fruit. He had a babybel cheese too.

One last post & bento for April

It was pretty out at lunch time, and kinda warm (52° according to the car thermometer) so we went for a drive rather than eating at home. Soaked up some sunshine and enjoyed our lunches out.

The pink box is mine and the green for D. Both wraps are turkey and cheese, but mine has additional slices of cucumber and is sitting near a cut up radish. I've also got fresh strawberries and pineapple and a little bear face made from a Babybel cheese and carrots for ears. D has carrots, wrapped Babybel and underneath the cheese is a small cup of granola. I made the granola bars again, but they didn't hold together in bars. They do however make great granola cereal which I had this morning with vanilla almond milk over it. So yummy. Oh, and the little penguin man has more bleu cheese dressing for dipping the carrots.

Bento #7 2.3.2010

Today's lunch was yummy, but I can't believe it was 10 WW points! I'm going to have to work on lowering my lunch points ~ ten is just too many.
I have another FlatOut wrap filled with pb&j, strawberries, pineapple, blueberries, radish, and food picks with colby-jack & string cheese pieces. The side cup has Vanilla Creme Brulee rice cakes. They are so yummy!

Bento #6 - The boxes are here!!!

My bento boxes finally came from Japan. They are so cute. They are the Natural Lunch boxes from j-list/j-box. I got the slim pink one for me, and the green oval one for D. Making my first actual bento, in a box, was FUN! They turned out kinda cute. It's nice that we usually eat at home, so I don't have to really worry about getting the lids on. :)





Both have sandwich roll ups made from a FlatOut honey wheat flavor with spinach artichoke flavored cream cheese inside, carrot flowers, blueberries, strawberries, radishes, and my new fave roasted eggplant dip with crackers.
