Second Shot at Greek Bento!!

Hey folks!!

I made another Greek bento, also a pita, and I think this one turned out just as good as the last one. This bento is more for the meat eater, where as the last one was suitable for vegetarians. I made Greek inspired meatballs with beef and included all of those delicious fresh vegetables to go with them. I also made cute little heart carrots for some color and flavor. In the little sauce bottles is a Greek tzatziki sauce that is made with yogurt, cucumbers and a lot of garlic. Please check out the recipes section to make your own tzatziki sauce. I found this bento to be very refreshing and flavorful. Enjoy your bentos and I wish you happy bento-ing.

DJs Bento Pack

As DJ Always says "A girl's gotta have options" this Bento fits that saying exactly, it has a wide variety of food to choose from. This Bento had everything from roasted chicken, carrots, tomatoes, rice with furikake and thats just inside the bento box, she also included a Banana, fruit jello cups, tea and soup base in the bento bag. If you're making a Bento and dont really want to eat just one thing, pack as much as you can and eat what you want and save the rest for later.

Three Layer Bento

Hello all!!

This is a quick Bento that literally took me minutes to make in the morning. I browned some ground beef, scrambled an egg and cooked leftover rice flavored with a little bit of salt and rice vinegar. For the sides I gave myself a cup of cranberries and carrots. Despite the messy look, the bento was very well seasoned and easy to eat.

Lamb Gone Pink

Even if you don't like lamb, you will love this pink cutie. This is a design I picked up from the "Yum-Yum Bento Box" book by Crystal Watanabe and Maki Ogawa, this is a great reference book when you have a Bento's block (writer's block for bento-ers) I also made a grassy pasture with broccoli and green rice for the Lamb to graze upon and carrots act as the fence. For dessert I had orange segments sprinkled with a little salt. this was so delicious I hope you all enjoy.

Left over Lemon Chicken

The best way to speed through your bento making if you're in a hurry is to use left overs, here is some lemon chicken I made the night before and used it for lunch the next day. I made sure to separate the sauce so the chicken would not get soggy and I accomanied it with the usual veggies that are great for filling in those extra spaces and are also nutricious and delicious like broccoli and carrots. I made a little cucumber salad and cheesecake again for dessert. To add some color to the meal I added a red flower in the center of the rice made with paprika.

Sandwiches Anyone?

This Bento was pretty easy to make and pack, I had some left over Italian burger patties and peperoni in the fridge so I cut them up and made two Italian sandwiches with mozzerella cheese and onions. I also made a rice block with avocado and ham. they were all so happy the carrot even lost an eye it was so excited to come to work with me!!
