It's all veggies

I went for my old burger box since I find the pink one too small for work day of 9 hours :)

Everything fitted perfectly. Now that I have more bento boxes it will be easy to create nice looking bento.  Some food and portions goes perfectly with the pink one and others only fits burger box.

 Broccoli's are my favorite. I can eat a ton of them as well as cauliflowers;)

Bean sprouts cooked in butter. I added some cheese latter.

And soba noodles I like so much .

I just can't get enough

I'm guilty for being not able to forget my red Urara box. Yes, I tried some other boxes but still felt frustration since they could not satisfy me. The burger was too round, it was flipping easy in a bag and what is more was a leaky one. The pink usagi and sakura box could be perfect if not the size. My usual portion of noodles would not fit in. And my lunch is the only food I have during my work from 10:30 till 20:00. So, eating too little at lunch means that I'll be super hungry and eat a lot at the evening witch is not a good thing.

This is the upper containers of both boxes. You can see the different in size.

 The red one is not only lager but deeper itself. Urara usagi box holds 580 ml while the pink sakura honoka box holds 510ml. And I really miss those 70ml.

Don't mind the meat in it :) I'm making some dried hog bites :P

Pics are not the best quality but you can see the difference.

  

Sooo... two days ago I said YES to a UME Mustard Yellow  Urara box!!!

:D :D :D

I picked the yellow one for its warm color. It's simple, it's just the right size and it's a traditional shaped box.

The firs love never dies they say:P

It should reach me in two weeks

Cherry tomatoes

Today we went to bazaar and bought two cherry tomatoes trees. Just like these :) 

These tomatoes will be perfect for bento. I always wanted to have them growing in my balcony :) 

They fit the box perfectly and keeps their shape and taste. I don't like the way sliced tomatoes drip their juices over other dishes. 

And look how lovely cherry tomatoes looks.

I just need to transplant them into bigger pots and after few week I hope to have some results. 

Noodles and broccoli

 I didn't had any mayo at home. So I ate the egg with soy sauce. But it's not so good as with mayo.

 Little lion sauce bottle.

Broccoli, hard boiled egg, fish sticks, caned corns salads with ham and cheese and olive oil :)

First bento in a new box

The title says it all :)

 Fried chicken livers, broccoli, zucchini, corn and cucumber salads. And noodles in lettuce bed decorated with zucchini hearts.

New pink usagi and sakura bento box

My new box finally came :)

That's how it looks in my hand.

 I love the painting on it. So simple and cute :)

 Every container has a lid witch closes tightly. I hope it will keep my bag safe and clean from extra liquids ;)

 It's a little bit smaller them my old urara box. But maybe it's just because I was used to eat from my big hamburger box. And this one looks really smaller.

 It's a traditional two tier box with a bigger upper container. So the main dish goes there. At least I like it that way ;)

When you cook for two

I have this large green box I usually use to make bento for my BF. I found it in a simple store and bought it the same minute. It has two smaller boxes in a set and one big box with two dividers. But me BF lost one :( So now it has only one divider. But still I like it :)

It's an old photo so you can see the second divider inside the big box.

 I make dishes that can be eaten with tea or coffee. So it's usually sandwiches, tortillas rolls and so on. You can see a bunch of sandwiches with cheese and sausages, a hard backed egg, some salads, backed veggies and lavash rolls.

My bento is smaller, bet most ingredients are the same :) Egg, lavash rolls , zucchini and veggies stew.

When I make bento for two, I make double portions but when I arrange my lunches in the boxes I put more veggies to my box and more meat to my BF box. I know he's not a fan of vegetables :D He also can eat a tone of food and still stays thin :) Not to mention he likes a fat food.
