    My lunch tomorrow, leftovers, but they are always yummy the next day! Meatloaf cupcake, mashed popotoes, broccoli, and homemade miso ketchup. 321 calories total, if I don't add anything extra!!

    After reading the first 10 pages or so (I haven't made it through the full 103 yet), you guys have totally convinced me to try these. Just ordered myself a bento box and am so excited to start doing this! I will just use regular containers until my box gets here. @mangrothian Your evil plan worked and you have another convert. :lol:

    Today I have a beetroot smoked salmon bento with mini onigiri and tamagoyaki. Super noms. In the picture is also my miso soup, fruit cup (I double checked, it's definitely pears this time :p ), some freeze dried strawberries and my breakfast (matcha & raspberry overnight oats made with coconut milk and chia seeds)

    Yayyy! After a week or so of reading I made it to the end of the thread. My bento accessories are ordered and I just made my first attempt and I am excited for lunchtime tomorrow! Thanks so much for the inspiration everyone. Tomorrow I have sweet potato yaki onigiri on salad with vine tomatoes. Snacks are soy marinated egg and clementine and a date. So fun trying to fit it all together nicely :)

    Haha, love the fruit picks.

    Today's bento is marinated pork belly chopped up and cooked with snow peas, rice with a furikake that makes it look burnt :/ , umeboshi and a cucumber salad. There's also a choc Wheaton bikkie, a pack of rice crackers and a tub of peaches in blood orange juice.

    I forgot to take a picture of DH's bento before I sent him off to work with it. :disappointed:

    On the plus side, I introduced my best friend to the joy of bento shopping and now she is addicted as well. :naughty: She ordered some tonight and she was lamenting because they aren't here yet. :lol:

    On the not so good side, I ordered some more as well. :confounded:

    Please do! I would love to see where your collection is now - and maybe DH won't think I'm crazy for ordering more already. :blush:

    (Edited to add): Today!! My first bento box will arrive today!!! Not counting the couple more I ordered on Monday. :grin: I'm still a little upset that DH's box, which he didn't even know was ordered for him and was a gift, got here 4 days before mine. :neutral: Not really, it's pretty funny considering I was the one so excited about it. :lol:

    I have a set of these that I got on Amazon. It comes as a set of three and the inside dividers are individual containers so you can make the box one large container by taking the individual ones out. Or you can make it 2, 3 or 4 compartment depending on the container you place in the large container.
