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!

Pokeball Bento

This is the bento I packed for my fiance for his work today.

As you can see, today's bento theme is pokemon! When I saw this awesome bento box that looked like a pokeball, I could not resist. It was so unique :). Unfortunately, it isn't very large, and it's shape isn't ideal to packing much inside it, so I paired it with a matching additional container. I also added a halloween themed ziplock.

As for lunch contents, I have packed here a rosemary ham sandwich, some hummus (with a paprika in the shape of a bunny (I know it isn't perfect but it was my first try!)), and in the ziplock are some mini pita crackers. Inside the bottom of the pokeball are some carrots, and almonds as well as a mini kit-kat bar, and a green apple jelly. I am sure this will be filling and help him have lots of energy throughout his work day! Well, that's all for today, until next time, happy munching!
