Bento 6 Happy Bento

Tier to the left contains chicken Parmesan couscous salad.

Next are my vegetables. Grape tomatoes, cucumber slices, carrot sticks, and yellow bell pepper. Underneath the vegetables is one flat bread cracker.

Happy face is the hummus I made over the weekend. Carrots for eyes, tomato for nose, and yellow bell pepper slice for mouth.

Below the mouth is the ricotta cheese spread again. 1/2 a granny smith apple rounds out the healthy portion of lunch.

Lime gelatin, a yogurt Ritter Sport chocolate bar, and stick of gum end my lunch Bento.

The grape Bento is my snack Bento. Dried Apricots, one butterscotch candy, a strawberry cereal bar cut in half, vegetable chips, and two sticks of gum. Also, a mozzarella cheese stick is cut into. Again, I was going for a fish.

Hey, at least I made a happy face!

Bento 5 Poolside roast beef sandwich Bento

The left compartment contains granny smith apple slices and a fork pick.

The top blue container has ricotta honey nut spread.

the bottom blue container has Cajun trail mix. To the right is a cucumber slice and a hulled out end of cucumber containing tomato neufachatel.

The sandwich is wheat berry bread, thin sliced roast beef, romaine lettuce, and hummus. A grape tomato through a toothpick holds it together.

The right side upper most corner has dried apricots and ginger snaps. The cheese spread turned out to be better with the ginger snaps than the apples!

The bottom right side container has green olives and grape tomatoes.

I couldn't eat all of this Bento, if with two long swims.

Bento 4 Poolside Cumber

My first really cute Bento!
This is in a lock and lock box. I made cucumber sandwiches with cream cheese on wheatberry bread. I used the heart shaped cutter.
On the bottom tier I placed grape tomatoes in a silicone cup divider and stuffed some strawberry Poxy in the side. Half a plum went on top. Also some vegetable chips with a vienna sausage. I tried to make a tulip, but ended up cutting it in half. Oh well. Practice makes perfect.
This was perfect eating at the pool. Light and refreshing.

This Bento was from Sunday. The others were last week.

Bento 3 Not so good

Again veggies and ranch dip.

The blue silicone cup holds green olives.

The right hand corner has 1/2 an orange, a stick of gum, and a Ritter Sport chocolate bar. After all, what is life without chocolate!

Main compartment holds A Taste of Thai something Pau flavor. This wasn't what I had meant to purchase. It was okay hot, but cold it was just a blob of noodles! I will not be repeating this, unless I get a proper Bento that is microwaveable or find a divider I can microwave in to fit this box, and most importantly have the peanut flavor I like!

I ended up buying a ham sandwich out of the vending machine!

The grape container is now my snack Bento. It is a fruit locker from Tupperware. I meant for everything to look like a fish. Hmmm, maybe close?

Again with the grapes as the body of the fish. The tail is made out of cherry yogurt pretzels. The top fin is made up of my two sticks of gum (this is two snacks). The bottom fin is a mini nutella spreader for the mustard.

Sun-dried tomatoes are the eye and a babybel on top of the blue pill-box that contains the Dijon mustard is the teeth.
