    Onigiri bento! ^_^ Oh, there's also edamame, a fish-shaped egg, and salad - which I FORGOT dressing for, so I had to choke it down dry! Blech! D:

    I live for baby carrots. Buzzfeed did an awesome thing on baby carrots, but just a pre-warning, it's Buzzfeed, so there's lot's of colorful language.

    Love this (colorful language and all)!!!!

    Lunch today! Chicken with General Tao sauce, an onigiri, grapes, blueberries, wax beans, and plain yogurt with cinnamon to dip my fruit in. Plain yogurt is a bit ... odd. I am so used to preflavored flavored kinds that I was not aware that's what yogurt by itself really tastes like.

    Plain yogurt is mega yuck. I only use it if a recipe calls for it. Vanilla is so much better. If you aren't liking it, maybe add a drop of vanilla extract to it for flavor? I'm not sure if that would work, but it could make the yogurt more pallettable.

    I love plain Greek yoghurt, but im very picky about the brands I buy. Took me a while to find a non-tart creamy one that I liked. Try adding fresh berries to it and mooshing them about a bit in the yoghurt. It will change the flavour enough for it to be paletable enough if youre not a fan.

    No bento for me today. The weather is nasty enough to call for soup, and besides, I didnt want to get out from under my heated blankie to go into the kitchen last night. Since ive lost weight I'm not cold all the time like some girls complain about, but when I do it's definitely harder to warm back up.

    I can't take total claim for them. They are made and frozen, I just cook them!

    I think I need to take a picture next time I make a batch of pot-stickers by hand.

    Leftovers of ground turkey and vegetables with some guacamole on top of some spinach, with a poorly boiled egg, cheese stick, and snap pea crisps for snacks!

    Snap pea crisps? Now that's new to me. And don't worry about the egg; most of mine are horribly peeled, but I put the nicest looking side to the surface for the picture ;)

    I'll make them again. These are just so tasty and so cheap. A bag of around 25-30 is only $3.50. And no messy kitchen! :tongue:
