Using Bento Boxes for lunches.

This is my absolute favorite thread on mfp! I love seeing new messages, and they inspire my own lunches. I'm finally getting around to posting another bento:
Raw veggies (radishes, cauliflower & tomatoes) with ranch dressing. Mayo sweet pickles & hard boiled eggs for egg salad.0 -
Here are my bentos for the next two days:
Cobb salad in the bottom
Hamburger with mushrooms, cherry vanilla greek yogurt and kiwis with strawberries in the top0 -
Brought soup for me again today, but I do still have a bento of leftovers in the fridge. I'll probably bring it tomorrow. I have jury duty on Wednesday, so I'm going to put together a bento that doesn't need to be heated. If I have time tonight, I'd like to make onigiri; otherwise, it'll probably just be meat/cheese roll-ups and a boiled egg and such.0

Bearly Bento went to work with me full of last night's dinner leftovers. Grilled bacon wrapped courgettes, French toast croutons & paneer, more roasted courgettes and paneer and some choccie biccies topped with cream cheese and strawberries.

A nice big peppery savoy cabbage salad today with a sesame dressing (in the pot in the left tier), a bunny egg, matcha cookie, bunny egg and some pre-packaged salmon and beans, because I'm lazy.

I've been slacking both in packing and in posting because it takes adding images to tinypic before putting them in here or else it takes up the whole screen. Miss having the easy pictures right from my phone option. So, here's a couple of them.
1. Several days ago (as in over a week even) not pretty or cute, just in regular container work dinner. It's rice, taco seasoned chicken and carrot slices (pre-sliced from store).
2. More of a veggie option from a few days ago. On some occasions I just would take in veggies to snack on behind the counter where people couldn't see me, hehe. Like having the sugar snap peas in particular for that. I also had a p3 chicken pack cause need protein. The cucumber noodles were kinda fun but need to cut them a bit as the strands get a little long. Got a veggie slicer thing on clearance so tried it out and so far working pretty well.
3. Not my lunch in the picture but yesterday met with some coworkers for brunch and it took so long to get a table that I had to order mine to go. I had a croissant and latte at the table (no pictures) and had this at work at 7pm when got to take my break. The picture of the one who ordered the same thing at the french bakery was much better than the to-go container version. Delish either way. Risotto cakes with mushrooms and bacon, poached egg, potatoes and butternut squash.
There was also a croissant with strawberry jam and a little bit of brie. I purchased a couple brioche ones too and some macaroons. mmmmm Already decided my near valentine treat to my single self is going to be pastries from this place. Yum!0 -

I don't have a recipe as such, I was kind of winging it!
It's a mix of vegetable pie filling and leftover mash coated in egg and panko breadcrumbs.
The veg pie mix was peas, carrots, peppers, green beans softened then set aside. I made a roux then used chicken stock to make the sauce - simmered until it was pretty thick. The veg went back in. (Sometimes I put roast chicken in too). The mix is really thick at this point.
For the croquettes I mixed the cold leftover pie filling with about double the quantity of leftover mash potatoes. Shaped into patties, dipped in beaten egg then panko breadcrumbs and some smoked paprika. In the fridge till really cold then oven baked for 25 ish minutes (till golden brown)
They aren't as crunchy when they're cold but still tasty0 -
Today, I brought my new bento, Bento Beng, to work, packed with leftovers from the previous night's dinner - rice, omelette, grilled bacon-wrapped courgettes and paneer and kimchi.

You keep making me want mac and cheese!!! But I never have just a little, I eat the whole box. And I think character mac and cheese tastes the best... for whatever psychological reason.

Chia seeds.... Are they tasty additions to yogurt?0

Thank you!Missisnotmyfirstname wrote: »Chia seeds.... Are they tasty additions to yogurt?
I wouldn't say "tasty". They don't taste like anything but they are a great source of fiber, omega 3s and thicken up my yogurt to super creamy levels (no escaping inside the box!). They are another option to flax seeds
