Manly Bento

Today's bento is for my husband who is off to work during my summer break from school. This is the manly bento box set I ordered for him to use at work. It is from Lock and Lock a Korean Company which has created some very nice microwaveable, dishwasher safe kits for every day. No little animal picks or cut out flowers, just the food. The box contains left-over Thai Chicken and Vegetables from a restaurant, plus steamed broccoli, carrot salad, steamed wontons with chicken and basil and cherries. Wishing hubby a good day at work.

Portion Control Envy

When I first spotted this box on the web of possibilities I loved the idea of the little divided boxes. I knew they would make planning easier in the morning with slots for different foods. I am very attracted to all of the cute bento designs but some mornings simple and sweet is the best I can deliver. This box is perfect for weight watchers. Each mini box is a 1/2 cup measure. It makes counting points a breeze. Today's bento is filled with furatake covered steamed rice, sliced strawberries, edamame and "Annie Chung's" low-fat chicken basil wontons. I wish I could boast that I made them myself but not during the school year, no energy, no time.(estimate 4.5 points)
