    Bento! I almost didn't have one b/c several of the leftovers that I thought I was going to have.....they're gone now...so this box was a bit scavenged :p Leftover jambalaya and veggies, turkey-swiss roll-ups, almonds, and chocolates.

    No bento tomorrow: I'll be volunteering at the public library's book sale, and they feed us :)

    Love bento! Been looking for vegetarian/vegan bento books...hard to find. My current routine is whatever is in the house, mix and match. Realized I live potato chips and dark chocolate together this way. And found out saurkraut is good with lots of things.

    Hah, your current routine sounds very similar to the rest of us :D

    I haven't come across any books specifically for vegetarian/vegan bento before, but the trusty JustBento website has search categories for vegetarian & vegan fillers, and there are quite a few blogs dedicated to it, and I've seen a lot of ideas come up on pinterest before.

    I've actually been making my bento's again, but keep forgetting to take pictures :(

    Today's bento is rice & veg with smoked salmon that's been pickled with beetroot and dill. They're not quite in the photo, but I have a snack of a few cherries and an adzuki bean mochi.

    I have a giant bento / meal box that I can change the dividers in. Well, this is with no dividers and to feed a team of hungry rugby men after their game. :#

    BBQ chicken + extra sweet BBQ sauce + cheese + sweet tomatoes.

    I made my first Bento in a while after being sick and just lax with it! It is a turkey and provolone wrap with spring mix, cocktail tomatoes, carrot chips, sugar snap peas and seedless cucumber. I did have a homemade ranch dipping sauce not in the picture.

    Cold and snowy again. Made another big pot of potato soup, so I'll be having that for lunch for the next few days.
