Ah-ha! A daily post!

Tomorrow we have walnuts with a chocolate square (the hubs got almonds), carrots (I included a side of peanut butter--eating my peanut butterless carrots today was TORTURE), lemon soy yogurt (the hubs got cherry), and pineapple. Midweek tomorrow, phew!!

What did I say about lazy blogging...?

Oh my. I thought I was a couple days behind...but let me just get these last few days posted and I'll start fresh tomorrow, lol!


Last Thursday: The hubs made the bentos again!! Yay!! Carrots with peanut butter, almonds, cashews, dark chocolate, fresh fruit, and a vegan Caesar salad--he's a master!!


Last Friday: I had the day off, but I threw together a bento for the hubs of carrots with peanut butter, strawberries, cashews, and ginger cookies.


Today's Bentos: Leftover vegan enchiladas and beans from yesterday (they look bad, but soooooo yummy!!!), kiwi, tangelo, and ginger cookies.


Tomorrow's Bentos: The last of the enchiladas are wrapped up, and a scoop of the beans (with chile paste mmmmmm), then some pineapple, carrots, and lemon soy yogurt.

Fresssssshness

Carrots with peanut butter, strawberries, kiwis, tomatoes with pesto (and cracker to put them on), and some raw cashews with a dark chocolate square. Simple, delicious.

Foodie Blogroll!!

Yay! I am now officially part of the foodie blogroll! See over there -->
Hopefully I can now have some more bento lovers find and enjoy the blog :o)
In other news, tomorrow's bento is below...sprouted corn tortillas with refried black beans, cashew "cheese" I made, and avocado. Top layer has oranges and kiwis. Pretty boring, but I'm exhausted!!

Good bento for a good start to a good week :o)

I've decided I'm going to try being wheat-free for about a week...sometimes I feel icky and I'm trying to figure out if wheat's the problem. Anyhow, with that in mind I put together a bento with carrots (peanut butter in the top layer for dipping), strawberries and kiwis, a tomato-pesto salad, and raw almonds with a square of dark chocolate. Yummy yum yum. I love food.

The Hubs and his Mad Bento Skillzzz

Last night I drove out to my sister's so I was gone until very late--so I put a challenge to the hubby to make the bentos for today. He did a superdeedooper job!! Here's a picture of his mad skills, hehe:

He put in blueberry granola (soymilk in the side dish), strawberries, almonds with chocolate chips, PB & J triangles, and pineapple. He's so wonderful!!!!!!!!!! :oD


Well for tomorrow I put together a very crappy bento in comparison (I'm tired, etc. etc. *whine* *whine*). A rice cake thingy (I bought for the package, of course), some ginger cookies, some strawberries, and some raw cashews. We're grilling pizza tomorrow night so he needs to be hungry come evening!! :op

It's only Wednesday??

I love tempeh dippers with BBQ sauce mmmmmm. I made those and then put in some carrots with peanut butter, pineapple and kiwi, and some pieces of hemp bagel. The hubby got little pickles instead of carrots and lots of pineapple but no kiwis. Now to get ready for school and then hopefully my lunch doesn't get too jumbled up in my backpack boarding to school...

Bean and Rice Burritos

Packed bean and rice burritos for lunch today with strawberries, carrots with peanut butter, and the rest of the brownies. I included a small container of fresh chile paste for my burrito, yum!

Back to Work!

Vacation is over tomorrow, and so is my lazy blogging! So tonight, here's a quick catch-up and then I'm off to bed!
Thursday I packed one-tiers full of yummy goodness: Newman O's, cashews, tangerines, granola (w/soymilk in the little containers), strawberries, and baby carrots (w/ranch for the hubs, peanut butter for me).

Friday I was going to get up and make the hubby a bento but he didn't wake me up until 5 minutes before he was going to leave...so he got a PB&J sandwich, some cookies, a ginormous strawberry, and some cashews.
For tomorrow, I packed a square of delicious triple-chocolate espresso vegan brownies (the hubby made those for me today!), some raw almonds, some strawberries and kiwi, some carrots with peanut butter, and some green tea soba noodles with pineapple. Should be a nice start to a new quarter! :o)

Lazy Blogger!

I have been really lazy the past few days regarding blogging, it's my break from work and I've generally become a slacker! :op I did make the hubby a lunch Friday, a sandwich bento with a couple small side dishes (strawberries and cashews, I believe). Monday I packed him leftover soup from some I made Sunday (he was sick this past weekend). I didn't take pictures of either of those bentos, though. I did take a picture of the bentos I made for today, and the ones I made for tomorrow, so here they are:


Today we enjoyed fresh strawberries, raw almonds with chocolate chips, blueberry-flax granola (side of soymilk), and baby carrots (side of peanut butter).


For tomorrow I made some kamut soba noodles with cashews (I wanted to add some fresh pineapple chunks but no luck at the store across the street), tangerines, and some more of those awesome organic strawberries from a local farm (I will be so bummed when they stop getting those in!). Hopefully I'll be back on track for the blogging now! :o)

Early morning half awake bento

The hubby and I ended up delivering my sis her new dog last night, so I decided I'd get up at 5:00 with him to make his bento (I also made him breakfast, and made the smoothies, and did all the dishes from everything--I'm an a.m. superwoman!). Soooo here it is--just some fruit, some granola (I packed a side cup of soymilk), and some cashews. Hey, he won't starve! :o)

Must not lose inspiration!

I've been feeling in a bit of a bento slump this week--I must pull myself out of it and bento on!! For tomorrow I packed tempeh dippers with chipotle barbeque sauce and cashew-lime "sour cream" (and a few habanero-plantains left over from dinner), some little pineapple-papaya kebabs, a few strawberries, and a vegan peanut butter-chocolate chip cookie (Uncle Eddie's, soooo bad for me!). Tomorrow...there will be....renewed inspiration.....I hope!! :o)

Fun, Colorful Bentos

Tonight's bentos were mostly trying to use up what was in the refrigerator. Carrots with peanut butter (again, I know!), kiwis (again!), tomatoes (again!), then some sauteed corn with roasted peppers, cashews roasted with an apricot-curry glaze (my new invention--yummy!!!), and a date for dessert. I think these turned out cute, yay! :o)

Quick Bentos for Monday

Fast bentos tonight--the hubby and I were watching a movie and didn't realize it was getting late. He got carrots with peanut butter, a veggie dog with ketchup, raw cashews with chocolate chips, and cornichons and pear tomatoes. I got carrots with peanut butter and raw cashews with chocolate chips as well. I also got tomatoes but omitted the cornichons. I threw a kiwi into my bento (I didn't like this brand of veggie dogs but he did). No jury duty call-in for tomorrow, hooray! First day of vacation!

Sleepytime bentos

Must...make....bento........so super tired and up way too late but here's a crappy pic of the bentos for tomorrow. I made some Mexi-brown rice/tofu/corn and put in some refried black beans and some of the guacamole the hubby made earlier. I also included some kiwi, and baby carrots (PB in a side container). Now, off to bed!
