    Trust me, it only goes downhill from there! Even though I'm not currently bento-ing, I have amassed quite the collection :wink:

    Today's bento was pretty small, and sure enough, I've already started snacking :T Need to pack it a little fuller tomorrow! Shrimp, rice, mixed veggies, and edamame:

    Question! For those of you who use the silicone cupcake liners, how do you wash them? I've been hand washing but it gets old, and I got a mesh bag for the dishwasher, but I'm not sure if I packed them too tight in there because they didn't all come clean.

    In the picture is also my miso soup, fruit cup (I double checked, it's definitely pears this time :p ), some freeze dried strawberries and my breakfast (matcha & raspberry overnight oats made with coconut milk and chia seeds)[/img]
    Mmmhmm you know I looked at that pear cup good to make sure. :lol:

    Finally remembered to pack my bento AND get a picture! Woohoo!

    z90k2nytnbec.jpg

    Back left: crab meat (with ranch in the sauce containers), crackers to go with the Happy Farms cheese wedges
    Back right: Ramen with shrimp (or prawns)
    Middle: Greek yogurt with cinnamon and strawberries for breakfast (this was leftovers so already mixed and not as pretty)
    Front: Grapes and wedge cheeses. Oh, and almond Pocky-type snacks.

    Probably won't eat all of this but packed it just in case I end up working really late. Kind of lacking in vegetables because I need to go buy some more, grocery shopping hasn't been happening lately.
