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!!

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!!

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.

Onigiri for Elegance

I thought for this Bento I would go the traditional way with nontraditional ingredients. I made traditional onigiri with Tomatoes in the center instead of the pickled plum, they were pretty large and filling for the side I had broccoli that was a bit overcooked but still delicious because I flavored it with soy sauce mixed with duck sauce Mmmmm... Next to the limp broccoli I had the potato faces with a sauce bottle filled with ketchup mixed with mayo, salt and pepper.

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.
