Bento Box

I have decided to try making bento box lunches for work. I think they look fun to make and hopefully it will help me be more creative instead of just eating the same thing all the time.

Here is my first one:

Top: 1/4 c. granola and vanilla yogurt; 1/2 c. blackberries and 1/2 c. blueberries;

5 multi-grain chips; 10 green pepper strips; and 1/2 med. tomato, mozzarella cheese, and a

little container with 1 TB. of olive oil and balsamic vinegar

I used the silicon baking cups and the easylunchbox.

I think I might need to make a snack bento for the afternoon. I get really hungry around 3:30. I call it treat-thirty. I usually grab some candy or chocolate. Not any more. I will need to bring something to curb my cravings.

My new favorite website is http://www.anotherlunch.com/.

This woman, Melissa, makes such cute lunches for her children. Some people comment that their kids are trying foods they wouldn't normally eat because it looks so cool. Smart moms!

I probably won't be making extravagant lunches or a bunny bento or egg molds, but I like the bento idea. Between Julie and myself, we use about 6-8 Tupperware each day for our lunches. Hopefully this will help cut down on running the dishwasher so often!
