Hi bento people, can I just say... I love your lunches! I've been lurking for a long time, and while my lunches are certainly not pretty, you have inspired me to take a little bit more care into what I'm putting in my lunchbox (and my belly!).
Here's my not-quite-bento for today, all this comes in just under 700 cals:
- morning tea: ginger and pineapple muffin
- lunch - ham/cheese sandwich on grainy bread, black swan low fat yoghurt, and a hot chocolate.
- afternoon snacks - veggie sticks, grapes, boiled egg, pickled cabbage (a new experiment!).

Another lurker! This....
has totally turned into this....
And of course your lunch is a bento. The translation of bento (弁当), literally means 'boxed lunch'. Your lunch is in a box, so you qualify
And I can totally tell that you're an Aussie or Kiwi just from the Jarrah hot chocolate sachet you have there That, and your yoghurt is Black thong Swan.

Yup... that's me, finally hopping up say hi!
And of course you're right, I'm an Aussie ("wanna mug of Jarrah, Kim?") though I'm not from Fountain Lakes

So decided to share a few boxes from the last few weeks. I haven't been taking many pictures, as lots are leftovers that are part of our normal meal routines. Also been doing boxes for myself to make meal time easier, as I am always the last to eat, but most of them are like 1/2 boxes.
Got some new boxes (sorry for the random other stuff.)
Leftover fried rice, with a frozen country fried steak and sugar apples.
Cupcake meatloaf, cheese Italian bread, and some carrots.
Leftover baked chicken strips, green beans, and mashed potatos with bbq sauce in the little box. The box slide off hubby's car seat and open on the floor board >.< However, the sauce box stayed closed!
And my weird eats .......scrambled spiced egg, turkey sausage, mashed potato, broccoli, candied ginger, and avocado with nutritional yeast. 418 calories for the whole thing. Sorry, I don't weight out hubby's boxes to know his calories.

Longtime lurker here, love all these pictures! Here's my real first attempt at a bento-ish thing from lunch today:
Lemon pepper tuna, gluten free crackers, vanilla roasted almonds, gluten free chocolate chip cookies, and pineapple. I now remember why I haven't had the lemon pepper tuna in awhile, too much lemon and not enough pepper. Lol!0 -
