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!

Ribfest!

   It's Ribfest time! My husband's favourite summer event (honestly, he talks about it ALL year long... lol). Honestly, I like it, too. It's not that easy to get ribs and pulled pork and chicken that tastes this good.

   The lines look long but it doesn't take too long to get through. We bought a full rack of ribs and a pound of pulled pork this year and shared it, though we didn't eat it all, it was so delicious!

Don't these look amazing?!
Sadly, not very picturesque, but still delicious!

Ribs and pulled pork are not hard to make at home! And you don't have to spend hours slaving over them either. I make pulled pork, and ribs, in my crock pot and it turns out great. Of course, its a bit different than the stuff you get at these cook-offs, but you can also BBQ them to get a more "authentic" taste. Either way, its just good. :) So try it out! 

Until next time, Happy Munching!
