Back from vacation with a bento to sweeten my workday tomorrow in a pretty new box!
The upper layer (in front) contains stirfried Japanese broccoli in soy and pad thai sauce, miso flavored tamagoyaki with spinach, breaded tofu and a fishy with chili, vinegar and soy dressing for the tofu (which didn’t get salty enough in [...]

I made homemade 4-cheese ravioli tonight and it was enough to pack some in a box and freeze a few for later.
They’re drizzled with melted salvia butter and cherry tomatos. More tomatos and some slices of zucchini as decoration (I’m going on vacation next week - not many greens in the house!). As dessert there’s [...]

It’s midsummer here in Sweden* and I packed bentoboxes to bring on a celebratory picknick.
Most of the food is Swedish food that’s somewhat typical to have at parties like midsummer. The upper box contains brussel sprouts, a hardboiled egg, locally grown ripe and luscious strawberries (drooool!), chili cheese bits on picks instead of meatballs for [...]

Homemade tortillas (half corn-, half wheatflour) filled with woked veggies, salsa, greek yoghurt, orange grated cheddar and a few leaves of fresh cilantro.
Cherry tomatoes and sugarpeas on the side and a silicon muffin cup with sugared ginger sticks and blue grapes.
Photo credit goes to my boyfriend because my nose itches so much I literally couldn’t [...]

I love shopping days. I usually end up making a whole lot of different fresh foods that day!
After using up fridge contents last week, I have leftovers for bento today.
1/4 of a mini pie with feta and sundried tomatoes, rucola, two heirloom tomatoes and a fishy with vinaigrette in the top layer.
Half a marbled muffin [...]

I harvested my first homegrown zucchini today!
A piece of it is in this bento, stuffed with risotto. Then there’s triangles of rosemary polenta, ratatouille, some salad leaves and grapes for dessert.
The BF has the same, with polenta cut into hearts (I’m soppy…):
The cutouts are hidden underneath the ratatouille.
The ratatouille and polenta are leftovers from yesterday; [...]

Cold noodles with a dressing of sesame oil, mirin, soy, sugar and lemon juice topped with woked veggies, salmon and prawns. It’s a recipe adapted from a restaurant food I had a while ago - and just the right thing for summer!
In the small compartments are more noodles with spring onions topped by a fishy [...]

Salmon roe and avocado slices on sushi rice (decorated with some spring onion and black sesame), soy fishy on top of wakame salad, a pickled ginger rose, and 2 inarizushi as dessert.
The BF gets the same and some leftover teriyaki salmon (smeared with a miso mixture before baking, which is REALLY delicious!) on a salad [...]

This bento contains fried Halloumi cheese drizzled with thick balsamico vinegar, couscous and baby spinach salad, cherry tomatoes, ecological garden salad, a wedge of grapefruit and spices.
Mmm, lots of my favourite tastes.
The BF gets the same, plus some grapes and a Mr. WA Mozart chocolate truffle.

Nigiri with salmon roe, tamagoyaki, avocado, enoki mushrooms and fried tofu on sushi rice.
The box held up nicely by the way :) It doesn’t seem to leak anything poisonous and was easy to wash.
The BF gets the same - and since he specifically asked me to buy more sugarpeas, he gets some more of those. [...]
