I love my bento boxes! I use them often to transport my salad items to work with me ( lettuce, tomatoes, other veggies in one part, egg, cheese, turkey etc., in the other) As well as other things. They are great!0

Today's bento has the same large tier as Wednesday (steak, quinoa, and veggies) and the same small tier as yesterday (broccoli, cherry tomatoes, and half a somewhat-deformed-heart-shaped boiled egg), which is generally how I pack my bentos each week to keep my lunches interesting: make 2 of the same big tier and 2 of the same small tier, but mix them up so it's never quite the same lunch twice
Oh, and this is my other NEW BENTO BOX! ^_^0 -
I love it when a plan comes together! This turned out to be enough food to fill my little hat/bowl 4 times!

My god that looks delish. I'm sad now that it's waaaaay too hot for me to have a warm Bento at the moment0 -
That ramen bowl looks amazing! Perfect for our 7 degree day today0

Thanks! I have an electric kettle at work for tea, so it was easy to put the bowls together, and having to use such a small bowl made my dinner take a looooong time, so I was able to savor the flavors and textures. I'm really enjoying eating this way, with a large number of small portions.
I've started cooking full packages of things instead of just one or two servings, like pasta, rice and meat dishes, and then packing small servings in zip-locs and sticking them in the freezer. Now I can mix and match stuff for bentos very easily.0 -
Ugh, that's it. Seeing that picture again makes me want ramen. To be damned with the 30C+ weather. To the kitchen!!!!0

Ive got the whole weekend to figure out what to do with this thing! My old ones in the front. Such a difference, kind of intimidating. Definitely going to be a tier a meal thing.
I'm getting so excited to see mine! Stalking the UPS website doesn't make it come any faster, unfortunately.0 -
@CupcakeCrusoe which colour did you get again? The greens pretty bright, but so soft!
I started making some gyoza, so that's a start

So I've had a bento box for the longest time and have never used it, so I decided to see what I could scrounge up without going to the store (for fun). It doesn't have a lot of color (which would be easy to change with bell peppers or whatever!), but that's okay. Here's my cute little box that I'm convinced I got at a Daiso store that closed after I had only been ONCE.
I have a serving of leftover hot sausage with chopped up onions, 1/4 of a whole wheat bagel, a wedge of laughing cow cheese, and celery with 16g peanut butter. I'm thinking when I'm ready to eat it, I'll whip up some egg beaters and make a sausage/egg scramble. What's pictured currently comes in roughly around 393 calories so I have some wiggle room. I'll probably have coffee with this, as it's a bit more of a breakfast box.
I also totally impulse bought one of those Monbento boxes. >< I could afford to get into more meal planning anyway! I'm always such a slacker when I have to do lunches for myself and usually reach for more convenient things, so this should be a neat learning experience for me.0 -

The Brasil box. I'm excited, love the bright yellow.
I often make steamed dumplings too!- in bulk and freeze them, I'm thinking that's going to happen more and more often.0 -
@Aross83 I have those same little oval containers. I bought them originally for sauces and dips, but they're really big enough for a small side, and since they have lids, I think I like them better than the cupcake cups for a lot of things.0

Uh, oh -- I just spent $60.00 on sale bento items. I'm in trouble!0
