Like others have said, I too have a soup container as well as thermos for hot food which I initially bought to send hot food to school for my children...then began to use for myself- hot lentil soup, noodles with prawns and any leftovers...work a treat. I use mine when I know we will all end up in some high calorie burger joint...great way to 'eat out' without all the calories...!0

Ah, so many bentos look so tasty! I haven't had time to mess with my bento (I'm still a super slow preparer) but I've still been eating pretty lunches. Here's today's for example: Tangerines, strawberries, a shaped egg, a brie and roasted almonds.

Ah, man. I can't figure out how to not make that gigantic.
Nvm, got it.0 -
I keep saying I am going to get back into it...for SURE 1/4/16!! I must, as a part of my 1)healthy living and 2) budgeting!0

Love my soup thermos. A few crackers, cube cheese, and veggie chili - my latest lunch love.0

Hope to be back to posting bentos soon. Finally have a day off, so getting some rest. My lunches have mostly been things like jerky and a microwave chicken sandwich. I have a short shift tomorrow but maybe can cook something up for Thursday. Trick is not to forget it on the counter at home like I did the last bento I made...0

Hahaha, I have done that myself before too! Bento left home alone!0 -
Today's bento was roasted veggies, bread & paneer with rillettes, tossed with mixed mizuna and wild rocket with pine nuts & balsamic vinegar. Dessert was a jeju mandarin.

I've been wanting a bento box forever. I almost broke down at H-mart the other day, they had these really great round ones! But I love your idea, and I'm all about it. I haven't done it yet, so I don't have much to add, but something I've seen a lot, rolled egg (great with rice, and seaweed wrappers). You've inspired me!0

A lot of us started out with plain old gladware/tupperware, give it a go and share your pictures0 -
@nixology - Your roasted veggies, bread and paneer looked delicious in both threads I saw them in.
So, I packed something in my penguin bento for work... Ended the year with a little mmmm. Cookies! A protein cookie and some cookies from a box set I've been picking cookies from for a couple of weeks now. Finally just letting roommate eat most of the rest cause there were too many for me and I need to cut back on my dairy or I'ma be itchy.

Here is yesterday's more healthy veggie bento. I had bbq pork jerky too (not in picture) to get some protein in. Takes me longer to post now cause I had to add the pictures to tinypic instead of just going from phone or else the image takes up the whole screen and stretches the forum page. Don't care much for that.

First bento of 2016! Marinated pork spare rib with rice and can, wish snacks of strawberries and a salada (saltine?) cracker with peanut butter.
I've missed my bentos through the holiday break. Omnomnomnom!0 -
Love this thread, really inspired to try marinated egs and the sesame chicken.0

Well, I just spent nearly a week reading through this thread! Very inspired by all your creations..
I have made a bento for the first time today- albeit in a box that's too big so packed too much food- I'll work on that! I have some smaller boxes so will try one of those tomorrow
The one on the left is pea, edamame, gammon and orzo salad in the top left. Red wine vinegar chicken and two meatballs in the top right. Raspberries, grapes and blueberries in the bottom.
The one on the right is mixed salad with grated carrot at the bottom. Cucumber, carrot and pepper sticks in the middle. Beetroot and cabbage slaw in one cupcake holder. Hummus in the other cupcake holder
Well done OP, you've recruited another minion!
