I was teaching that day so I needed a bento. I also knew about it ahead of time, so I planned ahead some. Here's my box:
In the top tier, I have meatloaf leftover (had it frozen), pieces of red bell peppers, and lentils/chickpeas curry.The Curry was too liquid, and I have a left over of brown rice to use up, so I threw both in a pan and cooked it. The rice absorbed all the juice and it tasted delicious! Who would have thought?
The bottom tier has steamed broccoli and strawberries.
Here and there I have cute little picks to eat with.
My husband has basically the same thing:
On the left he has Mini Babybel light cheeses, the meatloaf (I tried to cube it, but it didn't work too well), and the lentil/chickpea/rice curry.On the right he has the pepper pieces, the steamed broccoli and the strawberries.
Today
Today I had the easiest time! Everything was leftover from last night, already cold and ready to go. Lovely. I'm hoping to do that most days. I still want to pack in the morning, but if the foods can be ready the previous night, it brings sanity back to my mornings.
Here's my box:
The bottom tier has steamed vegetables (carrots, broccoli, red bell pepper) and Garam Masala scented bulgur.
The top tier has chicken Tikka Masala cooked with a pre-made sauce from Costco to which I added salt, pepper and a little clove, I added onions, potatoes, and carrots to it. With that I have strawberries as dessert.I usually eat cold lunches, I did warm up the curry for 1 minute in the microwave.
My husband has a similar lunch:
On the left he has Garam Masala scented bulgur, steamed veggies, and his now traditional Mini Babybell light cheeses.On the right he has the curry, and some more bulgur.
Tomorrow I have some leftovers planned, so it should go smoothly again. Hopefully the connection will remain stable!
Happy Bento Everybody!
