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!

You say potato, I say potato

I just want to share with you all these potatoes that I have fallen in love with....

With the nice weather, I like to cook them up in my wok on the grill...

First, you have to cook the potatoes (I usually boil or steam them), then you cut up some smoked boar bacon into cubes (you could use any thick cut bacon really, but the boar bacon really does make it something special) and some minced onions. Sauté the bacon and the onions in the pan and then when the bacon is nice and caramelized and the onions cooked, throw in the potatoes and toss them together and add seasoning.


Give it a try sometime! I hope you like it! 
Until next time, Happy Munching!
