Some April bentos

I just came back from my trip and I got back into bento mode by making a lunch for me for my first day of work in my laptop lunch box. Nick also got a side bento so that his coworkers know that I'm back and still in top bento form! Haha...so I am a little rusty.

I decided I didn't want to make a sandwich so I whipped out our musubi maker and followed these instructions posted on the Serious Eats blog written by Kathy who writes her own blog that I already follow. So in my lunch we have: two spam musubi cut in half, some golden-crusted brussel sprouts, breakfast cheese and a laughing cow cheese with crackers, grapes, and a mango jelly.


I was excited because it was my first full lunch in the laptop lunch box, and I also got to show it off to my new coworkers who were very intrigued by the concept. I ended up finishing everything but one spam musubi and the laughing cow cheese.


Nick got one spam musubi, garlic chicken noodle salad from Nugget, and grapes in a pig-shaped silicone cup. Simple and clean. It came back empty so I guess he liked it!

Today I packed a side bento for myself, since I had leftovers and Nick was going out to lunch with his coworkers. I had a lunch time lab meeting, and it turned out to be a great way to let them see my bento. I am excited because they are excited about it! It was especially colorful today, too.


I had sugar snap peas with some ranch dressing (in the container), grapes, a matcha chocolate, three chocolate wafers, and some colored goldfish crackers. It was delicious! I ate everything in that side bento, and a majority of my leftovers. I guess since I am doing more physical work at this new job, my appetite has gone way up. Now it is time to pack tomorrow's lunch!
