Presents for you

An egg present filled with beef and rice goodness, along with a strawberry red flower and some green snow peas with my favorite sauce mixture (soy sauce and duck sauce) to go along with all the fun.

Enjoy!!

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.

Pink Tortilla Rolls

Sorry for the delay in updating, from now on I will try to update as soon as the meal is eaten...I mean before the meal is eaten.

Anyway enjoy one of DJs bentos, I like to call it the Pink Tortilla Rolls because it is made with pink rice that was colored with food coloring. There are other ways to color your rice to make a bunch of fun designs and characters. Visit the "How to make a bento" Page for more tips.

Picnic Bento

This is my picnic Bento

I love how happy all my food is, the rice star and bear are having a ball (no pun intended... well maybe a little) and my mashed potatoes are just happy to be out of the freezer sitting under the broccoli tree. I made the egg frittata for the first time and it was delicious and convenient. I made ten of them and just froze the ones I wasn't going to use right away. I finally got my mini squeeze bottles so I filled one with ketchup for my potatoes to draw hair and stuff on them and I filled the other with furikake for the rice balls. I will post the recipe for the egg frittata later because I figured I should share the wealth and it was delicious!!!!

Enjoy fellow Bento-ers

Under the Sea Bento

Long time no post...
Well here is my second attempt at the Under the Sea Bento. I have a cute Octodog and Octocrab and they're smiling, now wouldn't that just make you happy to eat your lunch? To accompany the Octo folk I have an egg goldfish and starfish, and you can't forget the tomato clams, arent they cute?

Well I hope you enjoy this Bento.

Lazy Bento

Hello all,
Its been a while since I've posted one of my bentos. I was experimenting with my new bento toys and tried for an "under the sea" theme but it didnt quite turn out. First the eggs I used for the egg shaper were to small so nothing showed up. I ended up stuffing the egg shaper with rice and was able to make rice fish instead which I think turned out OK. I also made my first octo-dogs I think they turned out pretty cute! In the smaller compartment I tried to pass off the tomato slices as coral and the little jelly cup as a jelly fish. I realized to late that I should have made a star fish apple instead of a flower. Overall it was a lazy bento but it was still better than nothing and it was delicious!

Bunnies Love Trees Bento

Bunny wanna take a stroll down the park?

Broccoli makes the perfect tree! My little bunny egg looked plain all alone so a bed of mint leaves helped and it smelled good too.

Happy to see me Bento

Another awesome Bento by DJ!
