Caprese Salad Bento! Yum!

Caprese Salad Bento

Clockwise: cucumber slices, rice ball with soy packet, strawberries, hard boiled egg, and the piece de resistance (say in French accent), the tomato/mozz/fresh basil/olive oil "caprese salad".

I'm so happy my hard boiled egg turned out perfect this morning . . . sometimes I have trouble getting them solid (HATE soft boiled) but I hate over cooked ones too.

Peace-Out Bento! Yum!

Peace-Out Bento (lunch)
Clockwise: Grape Tomatoes on a Pick, Cheddar Cheese Heart on a Baby Swiss Square, Cucumber Flower, Cottage Cheese with Boysenberry Fruit Spread and Cucumber Skin Peace Sign, Rice Bed with Veggie Crumbles, Potatoes, Carrots, Celery, Green Beans, Bread & Butter Chips, and Mixed Greens underneath.

Packed during dinner bento for lunch tomorrow. Adding a ranch jar for the salad and a ketchup jar for the deconstructed shepard's pie. I can't wait until my first bento box gets here . . . shipped out today!

First Bento! Yum!

First Bento (dinner)
Clockwise: Mixed Green Salad with Flower Cucumbers, Cherry Tomatoes on a Pick, Baby Swiss Cheese, Green Beans, Bread & Butter Chips, Ranch Dressing. Middle: Rice with Veggie Crumbles, Potatoes, Carrots, Celery, Touch of Red Curry Paste and No-Chicken Broth, with a Cheddar Heart Cut-out.

Super filling and delicious, but deconstructed shepard's pie needs ketchup. Will be adding a ketchup jar to the next one.
