New begining...

Here I'm after a;most a year. I made no god bento during that time. It was a non bento period. I was never at home, always running and and eating just once a day. Since my life is back  to normal I decided I must start making bento again not for the healthier eating then at least for raving money since I spend almost twice on my lunch that I buy from shops. And it's not always tasty...

I thought that for the new beginning I need a new box. This time I need two new boxes. One for myself and another is for my partner :)

I already have a pink and a yellow bento boxes, but I miss a color of red so I decided to obtain this Bright Red Strawberry bento box.

On one site they say it's 820ml box, on other that it hold up to 620 ml.Well both numbers are good. And if it will be bigger that means more space for creativity :D

For my partner I chose this one, just in grey color. Of course he was asked if that kind of box would please him. He said "yes" and added "but no cute stuff on my food". I'll have to make more manly lunch for him, that means no cheese hearts, no little animals picks and so on. I think I can do that. And mine bento still will be cute and colorful :)

I also got some egg mold. A bunny and a fish :)

And some silicon cup cake molds  - normal size and really small ones :D

so wait for new photos ;)

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.
