I got my bento boxes about a month ago now, and I haven’t used them quite as much as I’d hoped I would. I posted about my first bento when I got it, and made a lunch/snack for work. I took the things about the lunch that didn’t work, and made a second bento with similar ingredients, but better than the first.

Top row is cheesecake filling, grapes, and teddy grahams. Bottom row is tulip shaped PB sandwiches (pickles on the side), cheese and crackers, and carrots, celery, and green pepper. I picked up some ranch dressing for veggie dipping in the cafeteria at work. This bento attempt was much better than the first, but it still needs help. I’ve made several bentos since then (pictures/descriptions to come later), but I’m still trying to strike the balance between not enough food, and too much food.
