Bento Lunches Anyone?

I love bento boxes for lunches. It gives you several areas for diversity and helps with portion control. Flickr has a bunch of bento pics, some cute, some delicious looking and some very artistic.

Keeping in the boards theme, here is a bento we can all enjoy...

 

I really love this ladies bento...

 

I do those for the boys from time to time. I'll have to look through my pictures and see if I have any of the lunches I've done for them.

 

where can i fine these benzo lunches?

 

You can buy bento lunches at most Japanese restraunts, but making them is so much fun.

Allilyn, I would really love to see some of your bento. I am waiting on my supplies so I can start doing them for mine and hubbies lunches.

I got most of my supplies at Hobby Lobby. I do have pictures of my supplies on my photobucket that I took for a friend who was interested in what I was using but no pictures of the actual lunches. I'll have to dig those up.

I use wooden treasure chests or wooden trays to arrange the food on. It's mostly cookie cutter shapes of cheese, sandwiches, fruits and veggies and then small containers of food that I can't cut into cute shapes. I'm not as artistic as most bento folks but I do what I can. lol

Here are some of my supplies:

 

You all are so fancy and playful with them!

I get the basic bentos when I'm up with my gf from the Japanese market. Usually teriyaki chicken.
