Sautéed spinach, hard boiled egg, Greek yogurt with pb, cinnamon, and honey, banana and strawberries (327 cal)
Turkey and laughing cow roll-ups, mini caprese salad (only 100 cal!!), mini spinach-tomato-feta quiche, celery and some Caesar dressing in the container for dipping (392 cal)
Happy bentoing everyone!!
I love the mini quiche! I'm totally going to make those when I can start bento-ing again.
Thanks! I love them too, and my recipe they are only 155 cal each, so a nice little treat to stick in the bento without hugely upping the cal amount (:0 -

Looks delish! My coworkers said roughly the same thing to me. But more like "what are you, twelve?" I just give a big cheesy grin, and say "yes". I feel sad for others that they pooh-pooh fun lunches.

I can't wait to see your pics!0 -
Well, you have won over another lurker. This is only my 4th or 5th post ever. Here is my first real attempt at a bento:
Breakfast is Greek yogurt with blueberries and cantaloupe. Lunch is rainbow quinoa, tomatoes, egg & soy sauce. along with almonds, pickles, crackers & laughing cow cheese. I was going to save the crackers & cheese for mid afternoon snack, but I ended up eating everything by 1pm. Just as well, I was too busy for snacking today.0 -
My daily bottle of Kombucha, breakfast is one bear shaped soy egg and I found some new lemon poppy breakfast biscuits, 1st snack is Sweet/Heat Feta fruit Salad, lunch is 2 pork spring rolls with fried quinoa and flower shaped pickled beets, 2nd snack is Energy Bites with a cheese stick. All for 950cals.0 -
I come back from my run, and see all of these lovely lunches! I may have to make a pretty lunch today just for funsies (I'm at home on leave this week).
And as to people being old fuddy duddys; I just tell 'em that getting old is mandatory, growing up is optional. It's their loss that they don't get to have fun with their food!0 -
Here we go. My bored at home bento-ish lunch. Dumplings with rice, veg, pickles and miso soup.

@mangrothian - Your bored at home meal looks amazing. My lazy at home tomorrow (yay day off finally) will probably be just a microwaved noodle bowl with some meat added to it and a protein shake at some point cause I'm lacking on my protein lately.
Today's lunch, picture taken before work, was more stuffed squash on the brown/wild/quinoa rice with some peas, half a serving of habanero bbq almonds for snack, and a strawberry cake. Would have been over 500 calories but I didn't eat all of the squash or rice. I didn't even get to dessert until at home (after working an hour later than scheduled) and I got one nibble before it got dropped to the floor when I was moving stuff around. It was a bit oily or something similar so not sure I like them. They were from the asian grocery store in the cookie/cracker/snack section.

I love the idea of the stuffed squash. I wish Mr. Mangrothian would eat something similar, but I doubt it.

I got the idea from a food post on MFP (I think the what do your meals look like thread), however the person with the original image and a much better one. They posted squash stuffed with barbecue pulled pork. I just tried the hamburger and veggies cause I can make those easier, plus had clearance beef to use. I want to try bbq stuffed squash one of these days.0 -

Can't wait to see it!
Here's today's bento (finally!) Left box is strawberries, grapes and a key lime greek yogurt (370 cals). Lunch on the right is mixed rice (on the bottom), shrimp in sesame oil, edamame & broccoli (423 cals). Far right are my snacks, smoked almonds, mini baybel and an egg (still in shell, oh, the horror!)
