Yay for d&d! My name is my old WoW raiding character name, although I haven't played for quite a few years now.
Yesterday's bento: marinated chicken pieces with veg, umeboshi and rice. Today's isn't picture worthy being leftover pasta with a sprinkle of feta.

I didn't mean to take so long to post a pic of my bento. I have pork and vegetables potstickers, ponzu sauce, 3 dates, spinach walnut salad with French dressing, teriyaki chicken, and a piece of sharp white cheddar. I won't be able to make another till next week as my kids are on summer vacation and they ate all my yummy stuff. Lol.
Here's a picture of my bento put together.

I'm going grocery shopping todaytoday and I hope to go to the asian grocery this weekendweekend. Any recommendations for my bento?0

I have a couple of bento boxes that I occasionally use for work. I like putting them together as much as eating them. I feel like a little kid for some reason.1

Tbls. of Peanut Butter and sliced apple works. Baby carrots and hummus works too. string cheese, hard boiled eggs, olives, grapes, muffin, egg muffin, cooked collard greens or spinach. zucchini strips with celery sticks. I have found a lot of small packaged items that are clean eating, no sugar, low sodium and none of those extra preservatives.1

I took the dog dish and feed bag references to mean do whatever motivates you to keep going. I will! And these packed lunches are gorgeous. They could win America's Top Lunch Models.2

I'd say anything that can sit around until lunch without needing refrigeration. I like blanched veggies, edamame, hard boiled eggs, fruits, dumplings, etc. My last trip to the asian grocery resulted in a bunch of new foods to try and I mostly had to look up how to use some of the foods.I have a couple of bento boxes that I occasionally use for work.

Me too! Although that may be the Hello Kitty bento box talking >.>2 -
Today's snack bento & lunch bento. Snack box has pretzels and the nasty-est chunk of brie known to man (did not eat it!), egg shaped egg and carrots. I eat one tier per snack. Lunch box is edamame, broccoli, rice w/ furikake and pork/black mushroom dumplings. Kind of a heavy lunch, but for some reason, I've been starving lately.

An egg shaped egg? Blasphemous!3 -

I know, I know, husband already gave me a hard time! You're going to see them all week.
Here was today's very green bento. Shrimp, edamame, rice w/ furikake & broccoli. I've noticed that many of my lunches tend to be monochromatic. I guess I just like green stuff?

This was meant to be Thursday's bento, but it became Friday's instead. Oven baked fish bites, veg (cabbage, carrot, broccoli, capsicum) and rice with furikake and an umeboshi

Boring snack lunch bento. On Fridays husband always wants to eat big, and I have no self control, so I eat light for lunch. You see here two eggs, pretzels and laughing cow cheese and a chocolate panda cookie. 353 cals total.

This is my first bento box. On the bottom is mixed field greens and deviled eggs. On the side of that is a lite ginger salad dressing and pumpkin seed. Above that a tomato and cucumber salad. Last but not least green beans, beets and Japanese purple sweet potato. What do you guys think?9 -

I love the idea of putting deviled eggs on top of salad greens!1 -
If I did not have to make lunches for my children everyday I would make bentos for myself. I use Planetbox lunch boxes for my children which are bento style and have separate inserts you can buy to further separate food. It has completely changed how my children eat and they eat all of their lunch now.2

Looks great! So...gotta ask. What's a purple sweet potato? Does it taste different than an orange one?1
