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!

Turkey Dinner Bento

After Thanksgiving, we all have lots of leftovers available, and they usually make great lunches, and even dinners as we clear them out of our fridge over the week. 

Now, these leftovers don't make the most beautiful bento, but they sure are delicious. 
I've included buffet carrots (carrots with a cheese sauce, onions and topped with some crispy bread), stuffing, turkey and mashed potatoes. I included on the side (but didn't take a picture of) some homemade gravy. I put this in a microwave safe container because I like my turkey leftovers served hot.



I made a turkey all by myself this year for the second time in a row. It's still a new experience, and I am learning a lot, and I really enjoy trying these things. This year, I covered the top of my turkey in bacon strips. Everyone kept telling my how I had to try it,  and well, I would say it was a tasty trick. I am not sure how much it really enhanced it from last year's version, its hard to tell because I bought a different type of turkey this year, too, but I liked how it turned out!

Enjoy eating your Turkey Dinner leftovers!
Until next time, Happy Munching!
