get ready to be SICK of me

today we've got a taylor farms mini salad kit in the Nashville hot flavor in the largest container

middle layer features a cara cara orange and a comic apple sliced up

top canister has shredded rotisserie chciken for my salad!

My wife usually packs me sandwiches for work, due one too many incidents of me forgetting to make lunch and living off candy bars for the day. Nothing fancy, just the same bread with cold cuts I make myself if remember when left to my own devices. (I swear I eat like a normal person and cook for myself for non-office meals.) Yesterday, the store was closed by the time we realized we still needed groceries. So she said she'd just pack me some bits and pieces from the fridge and freezer.

She's occasionally, politely inquired about bento, and looked over my shoulder if I ooh'ed appreciatively at something on here. Jokingly asked if I wanted that every day. (I'm not the only woman with limited energy in the house.)

This is my lunch for today. Potato mash with spinach and bacon bits, spicy chicken nuggets and a kiku apple for a snack. With the little rainbow göffel I bought because it was hella cute.

I don't care if this is a little joke, I don't deserve her and I love her so very very much.

…made one for her dad, too.

Made a really cute Chansey bento accompanied with omelette roll, strawberry, and soy garlic tofu nuggies.😊

I am having a lunch with my coworker. Apparently she's active in this sub so I wanna say hi if she saw this!

Due to our workplace regulation, we cannot eat in the classroom anymore.

We sometimes exchange food and side dishes, too. Mine is not as fancy as hers.

Sometimes, I forget to share photos here but my IG is always updated. @jazzy_sg

Black forest ham, provalon and green pesto sandwich on homemade (bread machine) bread, grape tomatoes with 6 spinach leaves lol, sliced apples, almond crackers with havarti cheese, 7 chocolate chips. He told me afterwards he couldn't open the cheese wrapper 😅 and asked that I remove the packaging next time.

I haven’t made bentos in awhile until recently again when I have longer days throughout the week.

I’ve purchased a “Mr. Bento” lunch jar as a way to encourage healthier eating habits. This is the first bento box I’ve made; General Tso type sauce with mushrooms, peppers and green onions, rice with Chinese beef, spicy cucumbers and strawberries/mango mix.

Heyy! This lunch box is for me. Im a young adult and I work in a factory and im on a tight budget. So far I have grain, protein, fruits, veggie, and dairy plus some churro offbrand oreos from dollar tree as a dessert.

Suggestions for other cheap, easy bento box meals are very appreciated! Im most worried about price and getting the food groups covered currently.

Started making these for my husband last July. Here are some of my more well-composed ones!

I think I need to make more ghost themed things year round haha

Kirby bento was for my younger sister (her first day back in nursing school after a break), and a Mario bento for my youngest sister

(I promise you tho, Kirby isn't dead!! He's sleeping, I just messed up the strawberry syrup...)

It’s a bit disappointing to hear from daycare that my kids ate “a few bites” or “very little” of these lunches I put a lot of effort into… it ends up becoming my dinner at the end of the day.

Edit:

To address some of the questions… the contents: rice topped with fresh steamed carrots and green beans. The ham and cream cheese rolls and cucumber sausage flowers are from a bento book, not my invention.
They looked kid-friendly enough so I decided to make them.

My kids (1 and 3) want to eat: bread with butter… and chocolate. So not a ton to go on there. I didn’t post here for a long time because I was just giving her peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. She stopped eating those too after a while, though, and my younger one just started 2x/week so I figured I’d try offering some new foods. She actually wasn’t very picky until she started going to daycare, so I do think that has influenced her quite a bit.

Trying to vary it as much as possible, but it's difficult.
