Back from home and getting back into the bento groove

I hadn't done a bento in a while, and it was good because I was starting to feel burned out. After my trip home, I came back with new inspiration and bento gear! I decided to use two of the new boxes for tomorrow's bento. For lunch we both have leftover rotisserie chicken breast meat, rice, and golden-crusted brussel sprouts.

Nick's bento is in a new collapsible sandwich bento. The holes are meant to keep your bread from getting soggy an slightly mushy. I didn't make a sandwich today because we had leftovers, but I used it for the height. This bento has some hummus, pita chips, a babybel cheese, a small container of parmesan for the brussel sprouts, some ginger-scallion sauce for the chicken, a pecan tart from Phoenix desserts from home, and an apple gummy. His snack bento is kind of small because he has a bigger entree and he's recovering from being sick.


My bento is in my new sanrio bento box. I thought it was so cute that I had to have it! It contains the hummus, pita chips, ginger-scallion sauce, a pecan tart, a babybel cheese, an apple gummy, and some pistachios.


Here they are all closed up. Mine has a little compartment for a small fork and spoon!
