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.

Together they make a cute pair!

I also added these delicious gummy bears my brother brought me back from Germany. They are really tasty!

Well, that's all for now, until next time, Happy Munching!

An Exotic Snack

 Perhaps you have seen this strange fruit in the store.... perhaps you have not.... this exotic treat is called dragon fruit, or pitaya. It is the fruit of cactus. The skin is not edible, but the inside is delicious. It is often likened to a kiwi because its texture and the presence of tiny black edible seeds. The presence of dragon fruit is popular in drinks and smoothies as well it is delicious eaten raw. One must simply cut it in half, scoop out the white flesh and remove any remaining skin, and then it can be prepared as you like. It has a very mild taste and is low in calories. It is also not sour at all, but instead a slightly sweet.
I saved my skin and used them as serving bowls to serve the cut up pieces of flesh from the inside.

I hope that I have piqued your interest! I highly recommend that next time you see this fruit in the store that you try it out! It is exotic, fun and very tasty! Well, that's all for today! Until next time, happy munching!

Snack Bento

Today, I was home most of the day, so making a bento for lunch wasn't really necessary.  Also, I had plans to eat dinner with a friend during my break in class, and we had decided to eat out. Therefore, I decided to make a little snack bento because even though my class started late, it also ends late and it is inevitable that hunger will strike.




This little snack bento contains two jellies, strawberry and green apple (I bought these for the first time the other day and really am looking forward to trying them!), a couple pieces of beef jerky, and some soya bean trail mix.


Well that's all for today, sorry for the short post, but until next time, happy munching!
