Bento #2 : A Snacky Kind of Lunch
1Jun2009 Filed under: Daily Meals Author: Tiara Lynn
So the Bento Lunch thing hasn’t gotten old yet. Monday’s lunch is in my new little 4-compartment case that I picked up at Mitsuwa for $3.99, and I LOVE this thing. Bento is a super fun way to make a nice light lunch with lots of variety and a surprising amount of food.
Red Compartment: Dried Mangoes, 100-calorie pack of Grasshopper cookies, cranberry nut clusters
Green Compartment: Apricot & Grapes
Gold Compartment: Sugar-free strawberry-banana Jell-O with a sliced strawberry
Purple Compartment: Sharp cheddar cheese cubes, sugar snap peas and cherry tomatoes
I’ll be enjoying this with a Dannon Frusion yogurt “smoothie”.
I Confess…
All my cakes come from boxes. My spaghetti sauce isn't from scratch, and I think making my own pasta and bread (unless it comes from a mix…) is rarely worth the effort. I believe individually frozen chicken breasts and ready-made pie crusts are among the best inventions ever. Through these menus, recipes, tips and recommendations, I hope to show that the options for creative cooking are limitless, even when time and money are not.
