@Narcissora - I made a sauce with natural (just peanuts only) peanut butter, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, mirin, and just pulsed it in the magic bullet with a little water to thin it. Everyone loved the sauce and I put the leftovers on noodles for my daughter and bf. I also ate some with a spicy bottle sauce from thai chile…

Finally ! A respectable lunch this week. I was going to pack homemade rice paper wraps but we ate them all too fast. Today's lunch is cherries, cherries, squash, broccoli, carrots, and yuba noodles. Some of the veggie bits were leftovers from dinners I made this week, but I like veggies so no complaints here.

I have been diligently tracking my calories and foods, but this past week we had something every single day. It's part of the end of school wrap up - awards ceremonies, dances, etc. Plus some big stuff at work, so I've just been grabbing ugly containers of leftovers or pulling out my trusty homemade freezer burritos (sweet…

I love this! The little row of cheez its and perfect jello appeal to something deep inside me. Plus, is there anything more yummy than zucchini when it has tiny little char grill marks. Yum!

Where does that adorable fox bento come from? All these bentos are looking gorgeous today. I'm eating yesterday's bento today because I went home sick and didn't eat lunch at work yesterday.

My office is in an organic grocery store (not Whole Paycheck :) )so I can literally just eat all day if I want (mixed blessing). Since I joined mfp I'm sticking to what I pack for lunch plus I have a stash of healthy bars like you suggested. I do 4 meals of about 400 calories each - I eat between 1600-1800 calories per…

Tomorrow's bento - breakfast is cottage cheese and pineapple and lunch is five spice tofu, kale, grapes, and bell pepper. I'm doing really well during the day, but I'm so hungry when I get home :(

@Narcissora and @SpecialKitty7 - the curry tofu nuggets are a brand called Hodo Soy. It's a smallish newish company that makes all tofu products without bad ingredients. The make nuggets and noodles. I'm trying them out and they are pretty tasty. @snugglesnax - the scraps are good for fried rice or salads. I'll keep a…

450 calories - curry tofu cubes, steamed broccoli, carrot, and water chestnut, 1 cup of rice, strawberries, and a little packet of soy sauce because I found it in the drawer.

Welcome to our obsession! Looks beautiful! I looooovvveee tuna salad.

You guys are amazing. Have just spent the past hour looking at bento ware porn. Sooooo much cute stuff. I'm curious if any of you guys have a sturdy carrier for your stuff? I just got brave and got a bike and I'm trying to figure out how to rig it so I could get my lunch to work in reasonable shape. Maybe an insulated…

This is so cute I want to pinch it's little sausage cheeks!!!!!!

Beautiful, balanced, and looks filling!

I definitely prefer vinegar based dressings and I make my own often, but when I eat a dinner sized salad, 2 TBSP feels skimpy. When I read food plans for "1 teaspoon" of butter, I'm like : are my measuring spoons different? Because a teaspoon is about the size of my thumb nail. Agree that the vegan taco salad bento is very…

The brand is called "Hilary's Eat Well" and they come frozen. They have a bunch of larger flavors too. I like them because they don't have any fillers in them. Just veggies and beans. I work at an organic market so I am surrounded by amazing options - all day long. Lucky for me! Not lucky for my waist line sometimes.

Lunch for tomorrow- 1/2 cup cantaloupe, 1/2 cup caraway sauerkraut, salad with lettuce, dried cranberries, chèvre, and grapes, mini veggie burgers to put on salad. I separate them with some parchment papers so the burgers don't get soggy in the salad before I eat it. Also makes it easy to heat up if want to. This came in…

I might have to work a pb and banana sandwich into my future food plan this week. My problem with pb + bread is that I will eat three sandwiches instead of one. It turns the "on" switch in my brain.

Yum! Verrrrrryyyy interested in the bean curd and Korean beef recipes.

You guys inspired me to pack some color in my lunch for tomorrow. This is my two layer tiffin with salad (lettuce, radish, tomato, celery, pepper, and 5 oz. chicken); top layer with 1 cup each of strawberries, melon, grapes, and Greek dressing for the salad.
-
Adorable bentos! Love the mini potatoes. We all have those days when "lunch" happens at 10 am. To answer the size question. I find that you can get 400 healthy calories of nutritionally dense food in a pretty small bento, but if your food is fluffier (like a big loose salad) you need a bigger container or you will be…

May 15 3 Day Streak of no LNS!

Oh....those red onions are happening this weekend at my place! You guys have inspired me.

Yay!!! I'm so glad I found this group. I've been doing bento for years - first for my daughter (when I did really elaborate stuff) and now I do lunches for her plus myself and my boyfriend. She's in 8th grade now so the portions and containers have changed a lot, but it's just part of my routine now. The main containers I…

Hi, I just joined and this is day 2 of logging for me. Both nights I had a great day - then ruined it after dinner :(. I'd like to join this challenge; I could really use some support.
