  • Please keep one representative photo of your lunch outside the cut and any other pictures behind a cut. If you show multiple lunches in one post, one picture of each lunch can be outside the cut.
  • Photos of closed or empty bento boxes, multiple pictures of the same lunch, and recipes must be behind a cut.
  • Entries are tagged by user name. If you want a tag, please post a link to one of your posts in this community in the can I have a tag? thread.
    There are also tags for general use, such as vegetarian, gluten-free, recipes, and so on. A complete list is in the posting guidelines.
  • Please only suggest stores to be added to the online bento shopping guide if you have shopped with them before and had a good experience with them.

Lunch for today: mini meatball sub.
Dang... As soon as I ate it and saw the photo, I knew it would have benefitted from something green. But it was tasty...

We didn't have any leftovers from our Thanksgiving dinner (sniff - it was at someone else's house) so all I had to contribute to today's bento was the pie. But is was still yummy!



Spinach & red pepper quiche, cucumber weave, homemade bread with spinach and parmesan ribbon, radishes and pumpkin pie with crust squiggle.

[info]trekkiegrrrl
So.. I hope I am not offending anyone.. but since it was # 666 and that number is.. well.. the number of the Beast.. I thought I'd do a devilish bento to celebrate it. As an added, and unexpected bonus, I happened to find chili spahgetti today in an arab grocer. It is HOT! I bought it because it was red, but it also tastes differently than "ordinary" spaghetti. Definitely hot as h... ^_^


Bento # 666

The world's fastest bento *L* Or at least close. All this is, is leftovers from dinner - pasta and bolognese sauce. I tried to spruce it up a little with some moon-watching rabbits, but it's still ... pretty simple. But at least it'll be served hot as it's in a thermal container :)

Bento # 665
Bento # 665
Bolognese with yellow pepper stars and -moon. Pasta with parmasan, hidden under some carrot rabbits and broccoli trees.

[info]bentobubba
Hi folks, here is a bento I posted on bentochallenge. This week's topic is to make a bento that recreates a famous work of art. And what work of art is more famous (or awesome) than the Dogs Playing Poker? It's very crude but I had fun making it.



Background is bread with pasta sauce. Table is spinach leaves over cheese slice. The rest are made from various bits of cheese, radish, carrot, dates, almonds, grapes, red cabbage and a Triscuit.

bento-1114

I have rediscovered wax paper recently and some how find it more bentoish than other wraps. In this bento: simple and healthy... mini sammies, pickled okra, grape tomatoes and a sugar free peanut butter cup, cause I stopped eating sugar. If you are hanging onto your sweet tooth, you might enjoy this non-bento but very chocolaty blog post.

Fake Curry with white rice


Having never had real curry before, and not knowing what it tastes like, I'm only guessing that the recipe I use is halfway decent. I like it though..

I'd like to thank you guys for answering my earlier questions. :-) And if my image is too large, please let me know.

Cupcake
[info]buffologist


I was asked to make a sandwich for mum's lunch tomorrow... there is a sandwich in there! Ham and mustard to be exact, then I got a little carried away. She also has pasta salad, some tomatoes, an Italian Stuffed Dough Ball, some carrot and pepper sticks and some dried apricots, dried cranberries, almonds and two fruit gummys. However, I'm pretty certain she just wanted the sandwich. Oops!

!SnarryBento
[info]trekkiegrrrl
For once a bento of mine with actual onigiri *L* Mostly because I had some leftover rice and my kid is totally mad about this "russian salad" which is basically pickled beet root in mayo. Great as a sandwich spread so now I'm giving it a go as onigiri-filling.

Bento # 662
Bento # 662
Ovenbaked beet roots, carrots, squash and potatoes, adorned with a little steamed broccoli and some carrot-Poohs. Kiwi slices, chicken hotwings, onigiri with pickled beet roots and mayo and mini corn cobs.

[info]trekkiegrrrl
Well.. There IS a reason why the first one didn't get posted. We had a local election here on Tuesday and I was participating in that all day (first handing out the voting bills and later counting the lot) and tbat's why it's a sandwich bento, we had sandwiches there and I managed to squirrel a few away for bento use *L*

The rest is a mix of working late and general procrastination *L*

Bento # 659
Ham- and chicken sandwiches. Satsuma wedges. Banana.
Bento # 660

Orzo adorned with beet stars and -moon and a carrot UFO. Stuffed pepper. Mixed vegetables. Cherry Tomato. Various Japanese candy.
