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!

Dinnertime Bento


Today I have a late class, and it runs right through dinnertime, so I am bringing a dinner bento!

To keep my food hot, I used a thermal bento! When I got to class and opened it up, everything was still nice and delicious and hot!


Inside I packed rice (it is under the vegetables to you can't really see it) and I made a chicken and vegetable stir-fry. First I cooked the chicken with some seasonings and then cut up and cooked the vegetables, then mixed them together again and poured on some sesame sauce and then put it all on top of my rice. 
I also included two little snacks, a few gummy bears and some strawberry yogurt and granola.
Delicious.
That is all for my dinner bento! I hope you enjoyed it! Until next time, Happy Munching!
