Bento #219

Yesterday’s bento… yeas, I’ve been lazy with updating this week :P
Anyway, mini maki rolls because I saw a picture of some in a bento box somewhere and thought they looked delicious! Inarizushi because they’re always delicious, a veggie dumpling, tamagoyaki, broccoli, cherry tomatos on skewers and a mochi for dessert.

Ovenbaked macaroni with eggplant sugo and feta

I haven’t fixed the other photos yet… slow this week. I’ll upload them later.
Just when I wrote about the Carrot and Peanut sugo this week, I happened to find another great vegetarian sugo recipe in a newspaper around here. Since I had the ingredients at home anyway, I thought I’d give it a try – [...]

Bento #218

Ovenbaked macaroni with feta on top from dinner. Romaine lettuce and tiiiiny grape tomatoes in the upper layer, plus a bottle of vinegar and a quarter of a jelly donut left over from fat tuesday (I don’t observe lent but any reason to party is good for me!).
Recipe for the pasta will be up sometime [...]

Bento #217

I thought I could re-use some leftover rice this morning, but it turned out that I hadn’t closed the lid all the way and it was dry and spoiled. So I went with the somewhat less traditional, but quickly prepared couscous in the upper layer :)
The lower layer has dumplings, 1-egg tamagoyaki, broccoli, celery, cuttings [...]

Presto Pasta Nights: Tasty veggie bolognese

I recently found those lovely, huge colourful pasta tubes. I love trying out new shapes of pasta!
The only problem is that a lot of said shapes come in sizes that are, let’s face it, designed to hold Bolognese sauce – and a lot of it. Conchiglie, Cannelloni and now these tubes – they are fun, [...]

Bento #216

This is a somewhat uncharacteristic approach to spam musubi – no spam involved. Instead I fried a spelt burger, added it to a rice patty and wrapped it in nori to keep it together. We’ll see how that works out…!
Then there’s purple and yellow potato oven fries, a bear container of mustard, homemade coleslaw, a [...]

Bento #215

This is the BF’s bento. 2 zucchini mini-quiches, leftover carrot kinpira, broccoli and nori, olives and bell pepper on rice.
Bonus points for anyone who can recognize the quiche-hungry creature:

My own bento has a creature made out of a spelt burger that I wanted to try. The creature didn’t get all that nice :(

Bento #214 – Jiji bento

I originally planned this bento for Friday 13, but real life got in the way. So here’s my black cat (Jiji!) bento for Monday instead!
Jiji is nori, lettuce and bell pepper on rice. Then there’s asparagus, two fishsticks cut in half, carrot kinpira, a bear cup of ketchup and a pink heart-shaped mochi for dessert.

BF [...]

Bento #213

Two feta and tomato mini quiches on lettuce, purple potato and carrot flowers.

BF gets exactly the same. More purple potato is hidden underneath the lettuce!
I made more mini quiches for my freezer stash yesterday – but more on that later as I’ve promised that article to Maki from Just Bento as a guest post first!

Bento #212

I found those spiral-shaped rice noodles in an Asian supermarket and just had to try them…
Rice pasta with dry peanut/carrot sauce, zucchini quiche Lorraine, lettuce, cherry tomato and a mint.
The ratios are probably way off in this one but I felt like a bigger bento today. I was quite hungry after coming home from class [...]
