Bento Berserk: A Healthy Selection

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!

A Healthy Selection

I recently purchased some BPA free resuable sandwich bags and I was very excited to use them. Today, I made a chicken salad sandwich, I made the salad mix last night and this let the flavours really develop. If you are interested in my chicken salad recipe, please check out my previous blog where I showed you how I made it.

I also included some healthy snacks, mushrooms with sesame vinaigrette dressing (in the pink polka-dot container), some beef jerky cut up small, some dried mango and a cheese snack.
