Welcome!

I created this blog with the desire to make lunch simple, fun and healthy. I had turned to bento to make this possible.
I live with my husband and our adorable pets and we live a fairly busy life so, being able to have a fast fun lunch makes it easier to save money and eat healthy. Bento is for everyone, not just children, and I strive to inspire people to make lunch an exciting aspect of their day, instead of the same old monotonous task and boring foods which inevitably lead to spending too much money on cafeteria food or fast food, or skipping meals all together.
This blog really has grown to be so much more than I had originally invisioned! It really incorporates my love for local and fresh food and making meals fun and tasty, not just lunch! There is great potential for all meals and bento still really inspires me, but I also really enjoy being inspired by the local farmer's market, and different books and I think the blog has really taken off to so much more than just a bento blog. I hope you feel inspired and enjoy it as much as I do!

Car Bento

This bento is a car bento for two reasons. First, the car wouldn't start this morning! So while we were waiting for help to come, I decided to make a bento to send to work with my fiance. I am luckily on reading week right now, so I don't need a bento. It kinda worked out well, because I got to make a bento and I am also certain that he got to leave after eating a breakfast (made by yours truly) and a bento for lunch. To keep with the car theme, I used a car themed bento box too.


In addition to the car themed bento, I used a standard lunch container. I wanted it to be microwavable and without too many restrictions, also I needed it to be larger.



As for what is inside today's bento, that is the following: in the blue container: A rosemary and ham sandwich, a mini gouda cheese, a cocktail tomato, almonds and taro mochi. In the clear container: leftover sweet and sour chicken and rice. I hope that he enjoys it! Well that is all for today, until next time, happy munching!
