Bento Berserk: May 2012

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!

Campsite Gourmet

One past time we really enjoy is camping. As soon as the weather gets nice, we begin to plan out when we can take a couple of days and head out to our favourite sites.

Our first camping trip this year, the weather was beautiful and we made this particularly amazing meal. On a whim, I had purchased a one-time-use charcoal barbecue from the camp store and it ended up coming in handy for this meal! We used it in combination with our camp stove!

We made a pork tenderloin, corn on the cob and mashed potatoes. Everything tasted great and enjoying it in the outdoors with the sunshine makes everything even better.

After chowing down on our meal, it was time to make the fire before it gets dark. Time to relax, enjoy the warmth and maybe have some marshmallows or pie iron pies!

Until next time, Happy Munching!
