Bento #34

Here's what's for lunch tomorrow!



Top tier: Cucumbers and Carrots with Dill Veggie Dip; Mixed berries

Bottom tier: Smoked Mozzarella, Artichoke and Garlic Chicken Sausage (SEE BELOW!)

On the side: Fiber Plus bar


I was in the hot dog/sausage area of my Walmart, and came across this:


I liked everything on the package, so I thought I'd give it a try. (I'm following Weight Watchers points, and a sausage was only 3 points, so I didn't think that was bad for the size of them.) These things were SO GOOD! I grilled half the package and sauteed the rest later. Good both ways. If your Walmart carries them, I suggest you give them a try! I don't remember if they had other flavors or not, but I promise I will be looking to see! (And will be buying these again!)

Have a great Tuesday! Enjoy!

Bento #33

I won this bento on ebay. It was one of the Bento4Japan fundraising auctions. I was so excited when I received it! It was so much bigger than it pictured. Here is what I won:

Sorry it's so fuzzy. It was so large, I couldn't fill it all up with food! Here is what I brought for lunch today:


On the right: Light Babybel Cheese and Mandarin Oranges

On the left: Marinated Pork Tenderloin, Brown and Wild Rice with mixed veggies

On the side: Yoplait Temptations Lemon Yogurt. (SO good!)

Hopefully my pictures for Tuesday's lunch will come out more clear!

Enjoy!

Bento #32

I went to a meeting today and lunch was provided, so I didn't need a bento. (Wish I would have made a bento, though. The lunch was FULL of carbs, so I didn't really eat much.) Here's what's for lunch tomorrow:



Top container: Fresh mushrooms, celery, and carrots with Buffalo Bleu Cheese dressing for dipping

Bottom container: Leftover meatballs from supper

I won this bento on ebay. It was part of the Bento4Japan fundraiser. (For those of you who aren't familiar with it, the bento community is placing things up for auction on ebay, with winnings going to Japan Earthquake/Tsunami relief efforts. Just go to ebay and search Bento4Japan. LOTS of things up for auction!) I also won another bento that I will be using later.

Enjoy!

Bento #31

Lunch for Monday!


Top left container: Red Beans and Rice with Turkey Sausage
Top right container: Celery
Bottom left container: Fresh strawberries and pineapple
Bottom right container: Ranch dressing for the celery and Honey Sesame Almonds

Enjoy!

Bento #30

So sorry I haven't posted in a week! Life gets in the way...you know how it is. Anyway, here is what I had for lunch last Friday.


Top container: Fresh Strawberries and Pineapple, Vanilla Yogurt to dip them in. (The happy people are in a "Hot Tub" of yogurt! LOL!)

Bottom container: The Skinny Chicken Nuggets and ranch dressing to dip them in; Fresh Green Beans.

All quite yummy!

Enjoy!

Bento #29

Tomorrow I am going on a field trip with our 5th graders to Frankfort, Kentucky (our State's Capital). Some of the teachers will be eating a school lunch. I will be eating my Bento. AND...I offered to pack one of my very good friend's a Bento as well, AND SHE TOOK ME UP ON IT! I was so excited! Then, I was so nervous! I hope I packed things she would like. Below is a picture of both of our Bentos. Mostly the same, just the wraps are different. Here you go:


My friend's Bento is on the left and mine is on the right. The only difference is our wraps.

On the left: Turkey and cheese wrap with cream cheese on it.
Top right corner of her Bento: Carrot Cake dip with bite size vanilla wafers to use for dipping.
Bottom: Fresh Pineapple with a strawberry for garnish

My Bento on the right:
Top tier: Turkey and Cream Cheese Vegetable rolls
Bottom tier: Same as my friend's; fresh pineapple, carrot cake dip with vanilla wafers.

In our lunch sack, I also threw in some chips (if she wants them, I'm not a huge chip eater) and some of the new Fiber Plus bars (in case we need a snack).

I hope she likes her first Bento!!

Enjoy!

Bento #28

The First Day of Spring was such a beautiful one here in Kentucky, that I decided to grill out tonight for dinner. We had cheeseburgers and hotdogs. So, tomorrow's lunch is a picnic lunch!


Right small container: Mustard potato salad
Right to left in bento: Strawberries, cheeseburger wrapped in lettuce
In the pink container: Ketchup and mustard

Now, I wanted watermelon, but they were still to darn expensive. Strawberries were on sale for 2/$4.00, so Strawberries it is! I love strawberries. When we lived in North Carolina, they grew so well there. I remember, during the end of March/beginning of April, there would be stands set up on the sides of roads selling BUCKETS of strawberries for $5.00. I would buy 2 buckets! I would freeze one and eat the other. They were the best strawberries!

Anyway, we're suppose to have a few more nice days, before it turns back to cooler, March, weather. I think I'm going to grill out chicken tomorrow night.

Enjoy! (And Happy Spring!!)
