    Lunch today! The rest of the lemon chicken, broccoli, asparagus, ancient peppers and rice under everything. Cals 350. I wanted to stuff a hard boiled egg in there too to get the calories, but couldn't figure it out, so my bunny egg is now a snack. First time using this box, but I've had it a while.

    Oh! I read that without looking at the picture, and couldn't figure out why you'd put Reese pieces in the mac & cheese. Good thing the picture clarified that :lol: Your lunch is very cute!

    I've just realised how geeky my pic is. Bento box, owl bowl (it's my breakfast bowl I keep at work. The work ones are all too big), "Free!" anime figurine collectible in the background (the bento box is hiding two more from Tokyo ghoul and Haikyuu), and those are some Japanese grammar tables that are stuck to my desk.
    I noticed those things in your background right away, and all they did was make me smile lol I was like "かわいいです!"

    You know what the funny part to that is? Yeah, hubby told me tonight that the candy spilled all over the food :( I haz the sad panda feels. Lucky he had a spare lunch made by me at work, but still.

    And my humpday bento is: onigiri, veg, pork and chive dumplings sautéed spinach and sesame seeds (under the dumplings), and a small piece of unagi kabayaki (otherwise known as marinated eel, which doesn't sound as good).

    It sits at 750 Cal, but I'm on maintenance just for the week, and the joy of being my size/height means maintenance Cals are like 2400, so big lunches for a couple of days.

    You'll need to excuse the blurry pic. I took it without my glasses on and didn't know it was out of focus >.<

    You know as lovely as that is, your lunches look better. At least to me. I have a picture of DH lunch, but it looks sad :( Leftover chicken parmesan, but use a new method to cook it. So while I was looking for soboro recipes I found a baked croquette (korokke) and the site had the recipe for chicken and pork too, I love this tip. She pan fried the breadcrumbs before hand. It turned out really good!! http://www.justonecookbook.com/crispy-baked-chicken

    I saw the baked korokke recipe too. I've never had a baked or a fried one before, but they look so good in anime >.> If you try it, you'll have to let us know how it was!

    Pretty! I had food that needed to be warmed up today so no bento (although it was packed in a box so I suppose it sort of was). Squash-broccoli-chicken gratin and a side salad.

    Edit to add picture because, why not? I may have dug in a little first :D About 600 calories
