Today was such a beautiful day I thought i'd take pictures outside. And I felt like making a lunch for mom to christen her new lunchbox we found at Albertson's for just shy of 5 bucks. It holds 3.25 cups EACH - HUGE! O__O and she only ate the bottom layer. I made it as dinner, since she had breakfast kinda late. Its a snapware container and has a green lid. Pretty!

sixty-one.

Tight seal box: creamy spinach + spaghetti, chicken, sauteed zucchini
Top: tangerine, apple slice, lettuce, celery, bunny egg
Bottom: apple slices, mozzerella cheese
Lid: assorted dark chocolates + fork
Outside boxes: little pecan pie.

I found this pecan pie at wal-mart for 58 cents. i had never had pecan pie before and i thought i'd try it. pretty damn tasty.

39 - 40 - 41 [3 BENTOS TODAY!]

mine!

Top tier: Smashed hard boiled egg w/ butter + salt + pepper [microwaved], mini brown sugar cinnamon bagel w/ cream cheese
Bottom tier: Impromptu rice pudding!

So I woke up around 11am this morning [i'm a college student, can't you tell? going to bed at almost 3am and waking up around 11am] and I came downstairs and opened the covered pot on the stove and discovered rice. I ask my mom, "Is this sticky rice?" and she just smiles. And so I decided to make a breakfast bento, since I'm not in school for the week, and I just felt like it!

mine, again!

Left tier [sidecar]: cheesy bacon egg scramble
right tier [sealable box]: chocolate chip banana pancakes, chunky peanut butter in the silicon cup.

So I wanted to make breakfast for dinner. And I did, because i'm allowed to, and I was really craving eggs and pancakes. So I got a bit creative. I threw some chocolate chips in the batter, and then sliced some banana and placed that on top as soon as I got the batter down on the griddle. Then I flipped them and let them cook until done on the other side. I made 6 total and ate the other two with just straight butter. I honestly think that was better than the peanut butter.

Then after I got the pancakes made, I threw a couple eggs in a bowl with some cream and salt, mixed those until scrambled with a fork, sprinkled a bit of bacon bits and shredded cheese into the raw egg mixture. I then threw that into the pan for it to get nice and scramble-y [is that even a word?] and then let some sliced cheddar melt on top of it after I thought that it was done enough [I absolutely HATE runny eggs, which is why I will not eat sunny-side up eggs, over easy only or scrambled please]. I then just decided to throw them into my box instead of putting them on a plate. And I put some peanut butter into the divider cup there (:

for my papa.

Top box [left to right]:taco meat, refried beans, spanish rice, shredded iceberg lettuce, diced grape tomatoes, chocolate chips, banana walnut muffin
Outside box+Lock&lock: flour tortillas, orange segments, shredded cheese, medium salsa, sour cream

I was going to make some enchiladas for my dad, but since we didn't have any leftover shredded pork [country style ribs] or beef [pot roast], I just decided to do a make your own taco box. I think he'll quite enjoy it.

Man, I can't believe I made 3 bentos today. Just, wow. I mean, the second one wasn't THAT hard, but still...

38 - Salad + Sandwich bento

for dad.

Left to Right: Cinnamon sugared apple pieces, oreo cupcake w/ coarse sugar sprinkles. bleu cheese, tomato and bacon bit salad, salt and pepper in their respective labeled containers, mayo in the third unmarked dixie cup
Outside the box: Shepherder bread [went in a ziploc bag], and bleu cheese dressing in the lock&lock

I like making the salad/sandwich bento for my dad. He absolutely LOVES it! Hopefully it goes over well tomorrow, and I hope he likes the cinnamon sugared apples, since I got one of the ideas from the ladies at the lj community, bentolunch.

twenty nine.

my dinner (:

Top tier: Tangerine, apples, tuna salad
Bottom tier: Romaine leaves, heart egg, bear egg, grape tomatoes and salt in the apple.
Bottom left corner: Chunky peanut butter for apples

Well, my mom had hard boiled some eggs and I finally got the chance to use my egg molds today! I was so excited, because they were so cute! I hate to eat them though. But, they are eggs after all. I felt like bentoing for dinner tonight, and so I did, except I didn't make one for Erika, since I kinda just didn't feel like it. I just put her food on a plate and such.

I didn't plan on eating the lettuce, really. I just wanted a filler, but I ended eating it with the tuna salad. It was pretty dang tasty.
