@LilSweet2015 Not really in this case. Take your favorite jarred Alfredo sauce, heat it up, and add shredded smoked gouda a little bit at a time until it each amount melts in while stirring gently. Easy peasy. Hopefully I'll be able to post my picture in a bit but my phone is not playing nice with the network at the…

Today's box: Layer one-super greens salad with yellow and red tomatoes and ham and horseradish cheddar roll ups Layer two- shrimp with shrimp sauce, blanched broccoli and carrots with some smoked gouda Alfredo sauce (just trying to use up, nothing to see here ;) ) and some black grapes I'll also have some ranch dressing…

Tomorrow's bento: Layer one: mixed super greens salad with tomatoes and pecorino Romano and Italian dressing Layer two: Italian sausage and peppers and onions in vodka sauce

What a lovely post! Welcome to the group Karen :)

Today's Lunch: Layer one: Green chile chicken enchilada and Brussel sprout slaw with pumpkin seeds and dried mango Layer two: apricots and salad with mixed super greens, red onions, chicken, and a little white cheese. Served with chipotle dressing.

That's good, I meant every word! ;) @piheart Your box is nice too!

Pretty!

Not a very pretty bento but here it is: Layer one: mexi corn with green muskmelon Layer two: green chile chicken enchiladas and tomato/onion/sour cream salad stuff

Check out this box. I don't have one so I can't vouch for it (this is sitting in my Amazon cart for the future though) but the price is half of the other ones I have. And they look like nice colors! Pretty lunches guys! I'm all for making your own salad dressings. They taste so much better :)

I think I'm happier and more satiated with a variety of different things too. I've noticed I feel I need to eat a lot more of a single casserole item than a small amount of the same casserole plus a variety of different fruits and veggies on the side. I think maybe my body is just happier with the variety of nutrients it…

Single layer bento today! Shredded brussel sprouts cooked with pan roasted pumpkin seeds and dried mango, green chile chicken enchiladas, and a nectarine nom :smiley:

I couldn't eat it all! I still have half of the coleslaw and a tomato. I think this box is too big (even when I stuff it with mainly veggies). Who worried that bentos don't hold very much? That they would leave ya hungry? Oh yes, me ;)

Today's Box: Layer one: shrimp with shrimp sauce, cherries, Romano cheese, and blanched broccoli with some smoked gouda alfredo Layer two: Lemon caper coleslaw and two tomatoes with a little wood smoked salt (found it in the cabinet yesterday :) )

Oh no! Not the cherries! ;) No box for me today as we have the work picnic I've been planning forever. At least those bags and bags of marshmallows with be exiting the office :) Happy Friday!

Yes, join us with just about any box you have! :smiley:

Very similar box to my last one but with.... cherries!! Layer one-Eggplant Romano with Italian meatballs Layer two- Cherries! and pecorino Romano with a spring mix and tomato salad. Served with Italian dressing. And I'm totally abusing that elastic band today; my two layers of cherries didn't want to fit!

No box for me today; I decided sleep was way more important. I'm a little sad but the awesome news is I found decent cherries last night! I have a container of them for today. Super cherry bento, bwahahaha!

I love the way you set up the box, especially the cherries! So cute!

Awesome sauce! Have a wonderful time. Is there anything in particular you are excited to see?

Love this box! Is there a way to eat it off of my screen?! nom nom PS Why, oh why can't I find good cherries? I keep looking and they are my favorite. Those look lovely :)

Today's box: Layer one-Eggplant Romano with Italian meatballs Layer two- fresh apricot with pecorino Romano and a spring mix and tomato salad. Served with The Best Italian Dressing Ever (seriously ;) ) I also have a coffee flavored yogurt for some point today, maybe breakfast.

The same thing is true with me a the band; I love that little piece of elastic! Your taco box looks fantastic btw

Awesome job! Way to work those bentos! As an aside, I think my workouts are making me hungrier because I ripped into my lunch by ten am today ☺️ And that was after waiting 20 minutes of being hungry and a decent sized breakfast! The good news is that I ate that instead of a mini bag of chips so that is good

Today's bento: Layer one: shrimp with shrimp sauce (in cup), almonds, black grapes, and carrots Layer two: lemon caper coleslaw with a tomato and ham and cheese roll ups

It may be tricky but you did an excellent job :smile: Don't make me think of marshmallows; I'm organizing a game of chubby bunnies at our end of school year picnic and my office is full of marshmallows. I can say for a fact your cheese is distinctly different looking than marshmallows :smiley: Here is my box for today:…

Yum! I love that box too. Do you know how many mls it is?

Lunch for tomorrow: Layer 1- shrimp with broccoli and tomatoes tossed with Italian dressing Layer 2- salad with spring greens, sunflower seeds, Gorgonzola and mushrooms and strawberries with scratch vanilla bean pudding (not made by me). Salad served with honey mustard dressing.

Do you just pickle your onions in vinegar? I've been meaning to make some pickles to add to my boxes and pickled onion is one of my favorites.

Today's bento: Layer 1: Taco seasoned ground turkey, avocado, and mango Layer 2: Grapes, chipotle egg salad, cabbage and tomatoes. I think I'm going to use my egg salad as my "dressing" PS I was so asleep while making this that I didn't notice until halfway through that I was using the bottom of my cutting board rather…

Tomorrow's bento: Layer 1: shrimp with blanched broccoli and tomatoes tossed with the BEST Italian dressing EVER (from my favorite local restaurant), mini mozzarella balls, and almonds Layer 2: Raspberries, strawberries, and spring mix salad with sunflower seeds, cucumber and smoked gouda. I haven't decided what dressing…
