I used my bento skills to pack lunch for the whole family to eat halfway through our bike ride on a local recreational trail. Its really nice. They paved a disused railroad bed and there are picnic tables or benches every few mile miles.
I didn't quite get a picture before the kids dug in. Under the peppers and snap peas there are tortilla roll sandwiches. Tortillas spread with Laughing Cow garlic and herb cheese, ham or turkey, cheddar cheese, and lettuce then rolled and sliced. A Babybell cheese for each of us. The kids prefer their stuff seperate so their box has rolled up ham and turkey, cut up cheese slices and crackers. Ranch in the little green topped container and cantaloupe in its own box. There also a box of cherries that didn't make it into the picture.

Where did you get your cute little animal containers (the frog and chick today)? I think you have a couple other ones too that are so cute. I looked on Amazon for them and couldn't find them (that's how much I love them 0 -

Thank you!! I love them! They are silicone cups, so you can bake in them too, which will be my next adventure
I found them on Amazon, they are made by Daiso so you might be able to find them somewhere else too, but here's a link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BKQQ3U4/ref=yo_ii_img
My only criticism is they are a little thin, so you have to be careful not to rip the silicone. Maybe I'm just clumsy, though... the frog already has a little tear

Oh man, everyone's eggs are looking so tasty and perfectly cooked! I'm out of eggs at the moment, but I normally eat at least one hard boiled egg a day. So, here's today's bento. I cooked a turkey breast on Sunday, so today is turkey breast, rice w/ furikake, corn, mushrooms, carrots and two hershey kisses. Husband's box on the left is pretty similar, but he also got cheese, a little miracle whip in the pot, an extra kiss and more corn instead of mushrooms. Total cals 405.

I just bought this Fit&Fresh lunchbox at TKMaxx. I couldn't find any Bento one for a reasonable price (I'm in the UK). Can anyone recommend me a UK on line shop? I would love to buy some small dispenser and accesories. Thank you!

Here is lunch and first dinner today:
Lunch bento layer one: Chipotle chicken roll up, celery sticks, and dilled egg salad
Layer two: Basil and tomato salad (with tomatoes from my neighbors garden and basil from mine,
) with balsamic and olive oil, spring greens salad with red onion and spicy dill pickle chips
Stacked bento: all cherries, because cherries (and bowties) are cool.
Little container: 1 cup Italian potato soup to get me through yoga teacher training and until I get home for slow cooker pot roast
I'm super excited about food today, guys!0 -

Thank you so much! I'll have to check that out.
Sad panda for the ripped froggy though

I think we have a couple other Whovians on this thread too! I think I've seen a tardis cookie jar and a dalek in someone's pictures. Whovian bentos unite!
Because bowties are cool.0 -
Rice, shrimp, mixed veggies, and an egg-shaped boiled egg; edamame and an individual packet of Nutella under a couple dark chocolate squares, which I've already eaten as a snack
It's a little protein-heavy today because I lifted this morning and like to have higher protein on lifting days. 378 cal + 115 for the chocolate.

Tuesday bento below:
Breakfast: (top) Apples, grapes, panda (!!), mini oven pancakes & syrup. (395 cal)
Lunch: (bottom) Cucumber and garbanzo bean salad with feta, celery, hummus. (301 cal)
I love the itty bitty pancakes. Did you make them, or are they a pre-packaged frozen thing?
On a totally unrelated note, I had a cookie for breakfast today. Some days are better than others.
Also, I'm going out for lunch with coworkers today, so no bento.
Also also, I went to a weekly summer event here last night called "Food Truck Tuesday". I'm pretty sure I ate about three times what my daily calorie intake is supposed to be. Ugh, getting back on track is SO DIFFICULT0 -

Yeah, those were mine And I also make dorky art work:
It's like one of those eye-spy pictures from childhood. Can you find all the DH references?

Wow. That's awesome. I especially love the "Bad Fish" detail.
I officially think the MFP bento-ers are the coolest people I know.
Now you all have a new challenge: create a Doctor Who themed bento.0 -

I made them!! Super simple recipe, I might try them in silicone molds with different ratios and such next time: http://m.allrecipes.com/recipe/17487/oven-pancakes/
And I know what you mean about getting back on track... I am fine during the week but going out to eat on the weekends tends to ruin my progress.
And Wednesday bento ahead:
Breakfast (top): Bunny themed, because I can -- Hard boiled egg, pickles, mustard, pepper jack cheese, apples, grapes (330 cal)
Lunch (bottom): Garbanzo bean and cucumber salad with feta, celery, hummus, and some garlic Parmesan dressing because there wasn't a lot of hummus left (337 cal)

I love dorky artwork! It took me a while to notice the hand in the upper right corner
Oh, and no bento today, because...lazyness.

And I'm on a weeks leave from work with no Bentos for the week I did make okayu though! (fancy term for rice porridge)
My DH is more of a Whovian than I am, although I do like the show; I'm more of a Sherlockian (Totally a Cumberb***h, hehehe) and an anime nerd.1 -
myself I have put spinach quinoa turkey cutlet peppers onions which was easy to handle in the bento box0

Roasted zucchini on top of ramen, soy sauce egg, strawberry Jell-O, apricot, Cheez-Its
I love this! The little row of cheez its and perfect jello appeal to something deep inside me. Plus, is there anything more yummy than zucchini when it has tiny little char grill marks. Yum!

I'm really liking the little silicone cups of sugar-free Jell-O. They really solve the problem of "my bento isn't full yet, but I somehow already packed it up to my lunchtime calorie goal." The little cup of Jell-O is less than ten calories and takes up a decent amount of space - problem solved!
In the smaller box is a bunch of stuff I threw together with pasta to clear out the older stuff in the fridge. There's some ground turkey in there, veggies, tomato sauce, mozzarella, and a bunch of herbs and spices. In the larger box is a chopped up nectarine and Jell-O.0
