Can't wait to see it! Here's today's bento (finally!) Left box is strawberries, grapes and a key lime greek yogurt (370 cals). Lunch on the right is mixed rice (on the bottom), shrimp in sesame oil, edamame & broccoli (423 cals). Far right are my snacks, smoked almonds, mini baybel and an egg (still in shell, oh, the…

Looks delish! My coworkers said roughly the same thing to me. But more like "what are you, twelve?" I just give a big cheesy grin, and say "yes". I feel sad for others that they pooh-pooh fun lunches.

I really like your explanation of what we're doing here!

Crunchyroll advertises that one I think every other commercial! I was thinking of watching it, then I saw the commercial, and I was like, hmm, not so sure on this one :blush: Two or 10, whatevs.

I think I love you :heart: after my own geek heart.

Aww. He's a keeper for sure! I don't know if I'll get to bento this week or not. It's been a crazy week and the food I have hasn't been bento-worthy.

Strange, mine decided everything was running 5mph. I'm actually walking 3.5. I connected my vivofit2 through the Garmin Connect to MFP. I don't recall doing anything to MFP specifically. My main problem is I have to sync twice every dang time because "Garmin could not connect to its servers". OP did you have a specific…

Thanks for sharing! They look tasty and sound tasty. The only thing I don't have is flax seed, but I'm pretty sure I saw that at the grocery store, these may be in my future... :cookie:

What?! How do you sleep at night??? What are the Energy bites? They look like something you made?

I've only had the Glico brand, and it tasted like pink plastic. The other two here are faves though.

Nooooo! Strawberry pocky is the worst flavor! Lately, it seems to be the only flavor the store has had though. Hmm. Sounds strange. I do drink tons of tea though, maybe if I see it somewhere, I'll try it.

@Sandyslosenit @madeleadele Okay, that's two of you. What is kombucha? I would have guessed alcohol, but not if you're sipping on it all day (or at least I hope not anyway :blush: ). I have to go out to a client tomorrow, so no bento for me.

Here's today's boxes. Lunch is shrimp stirfried in sesame oil, mini peppers, edamame and rice blend. Snacks are: strawberries and dry roasted edamame, carrots and mini-baybel. Lunch is 433 cals, snacks are 267.

Ooh, I love Dollar Tree. Never thought to check out their tupperwares. But kitties are awesome! I can't believe your stuff came so soon, can't wait to see them :astonished:

@sagj @irisgal345 I love the lunchmeat "sushi" rolls. I may try that out for the husband's bentos.

I sorta have bento today! I bought these cute square pita pockets and thought they'd fit in a bento. Well, not in any bento that I have, so the ham and goat cheese pocket is on the side, I just bento-d the rest of my lunch. With the sammy, I have strawberries, almonds & carrots.

I think you did awesome! It looks super-tasty :smiley:

Snap pea crisps are 7 shades of amazing!

I'll make them again. These are just so tasty and so cheap. A bag of around 25-30 is only $3.50. And no messy kitchen! :tongue:

I can't take total claim for them. They are made and frozen, I just cook them!

Here's today's lunch. Jasmine/Forbidden rice mix (I have a bunch of this still in my freezer, you'll be seeing it for a while) sugar snap peas, mini peppers, italian dressing in the pot for dipping. Bottom tier is pork dumplings & some really wrinkled edamame.

It's cute! What's the green thing on the rice? On a side note, I have bento for tomorrow, I will get a pic before I snarf it down.

I live for baby carrots. Buzzfeed did an awesome thing on baby carrots, but just a pre-warning, it's Buzzfeed, so there's lot's of colorful language.

Maybe :wink: but it did take several of us quite a few tries to not have crunchy-cement like rice. Maybe you'll find what works best for you?

I don't have a rice cooker, so I just make mine on the stovetop. The key is the type of rice you're using. Your standard long grain rice is supposed to make dry separate kernels. Short and medium grain rices tend to get a bit more sticky and are better for our purposes here. I do a modified version of the Just Bento method…

I swear I've seen that brand around here! I agree on the crab cake / Baltimore thing. When we visted there, it was the first thing I wanted :smile:

Looks Awesome! Those mini crab cakes are adorable, did you make those?

Ah, so many new bento-ers and me with a salad today.... Welcome all... :naughty:

Amazing! It takes me an hour to do one of Rachael Ray's 30 minute meals, so I don't think I'll ever get that fast. Do you cut out your carrots before or after cooking?
