Bento #9 - Snack
I bought baguette that was already pre-sliced, which is a total timesaver! Plus, it ensures even thickness. The baguettes are toasted with a garlic butter mixture (I Can't Believe It's Not Butter - Mediterranean Style, salt, pepper, oregano, garlic and onion powder)... YUM! Ok, talking about it just makes me want it now... but no no no, I just finished dinner! haha...

Bento #3 - onigiri take one...
this bento is a the debut of my first onigiri! i didn't receive my molds yet, but wanted to give hand-molding a try. i mixed some fresh white rice with soy glaze (from my soy-glazed drumsticks) and sesame seeds for taste. after tossing it around to mix and cool the rice down a bit, i poured the rice mix onto a piece of saran wrap. a little squish here, a little pinch there and... TA DA! so proud, so proud. =)

Bento #1 - need a small side box...
mango; spring mix salad; slice of cabot cheddar cheese; blueberries; sundried tomato
and feta cheese; curry beef with carrot, green bell pepper and baby spinach
after about 1 1/2 month hiatus from the gym (holidays, travel, weddings, laziness...), i am back at it! eating healthier seems to always promote being healther... hmm, i'm not sure if i made sense there. i was consistent on the gym routine before the holidays, going at 5:30am 3-4 times a week for about 4 months. i am determined! hopefully, bento's nature of portion control and exercising will bring me down to my goal weight... 120lb. current weight = 127lb.
first step into bento-ing...
pudding; blueberries; naval orange sections; 1/4 chicken finger sub
i found many tips on the internet on properly packing a bento and types of food barriers to use. there is not much of a color variance (except for the blueberries - they smelled so fragrant at the supermarket that i could not resist). hopefully, the next one will be better. i am, however, looking forward to this tomorrow. it is much more of a variety than my typical lunch. YAY!
