Bento Pack Part 2

I wanted to make a bento pack of my own, I didn't have all of the choices DJ had but it was close enough for me, plus I ate everything in the pack! I had leftover General Lee's chicken, Snow peas in my favorite sauce mix, lovely heart shaped onigiri stuffed with Salmon, and a caprese salad style stuffed cherry tomatoes. In case you do not know what a caprese salad is, it contains sliced tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and fresh Basil seasoned with salt, pepper and olive oil. in the Bento bag I had cookies for dessert, a mini pear and canned pineapple.

Curry Chicken

MMmmmm, this is a great way to eat healthy, you have a lean Chicken Curry with a ton of vegetables and on the side instead of Rice, DJ used Quinoa which is actually a seed that has lots of protein. Use this instead of rice in any of your Bentos and you will be filling your body with healthy goodness.

Enjoy!!

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.

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.

My Bento loves me!

I was so happy to see that my bento loved me so much to fill my tummy with delicious food. Today I had rice with furikake under that loving egg that I made by cooking it on a flat pan like a pancake and left-over chicken. Of course I had to add those cute little stuffed tomatoes, this time I stuffed them with feta cheese...mmMMmmm.. so good! I also thought of skewering my cucumbers this time like a cute little skewered flower garden hehe. I can't forget my bunnies which I try to use as often as possible since an apple a day keeps the doctor away, right? well its cute and delicious anyway.
