Bento: Day 1
People seemed to enjoy the food porn the other day so here's my first effort at Bento. Today is a late day for me though, we'll see how it goes when I have to be out of the house at 4:45!
In the left container is an onigiri (rice ball), broccoli, grape tomatoes, and grapes. In the left is a piece of vegetable frittata, chicken teryaki, sesame ginger carrots, broccoli and a few more grape tomatoes. Up against the divider are a couple of packets of soy sauce. It fits in my lunch bag and I'm also taking a small container of yoghurt, and a banana for breakfast and I keep a packet of hobnobs in my desk so I'll have one of those for a snack.

And it really tasted healthy. There is such a difference between how I feel after eating something like that and how I feel after eating junk.

Thanks, and it was all super easy. I made the veggies for dinner last night and made sure I had leftovers for today. The chicken is that perdue pre-cooked chicken breast and I just stir fried it really quickly in a little sesame oil and a dollop of bottled teryaki sauce. The rice I did in the rice cooker, added some sushi rice dressing and shaped it while warm. The frittata was a quick stove top recipe I found online. I made two, a veggie one and a mushroom one. All told I spent maybe 90 minutes cooking on Sunday and I have enough food for the week probably.

Just sayin'. FanSee
Re: Mornings
I wish I was but the only gym time I have is before work and it's half an hour away. So I need to leave at that time to be there and ready to work out at 5:30. I leave the gym about 7:15 or 7:30 and head to my office across the street. It makes for a long day but I'm trying really hard to be healthy and get in good shape.

Nope, this one was made using a plain non-stick skillet on top of the stove. Super fast and easy. Beat up a few eggs with some fresh parmesan and salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into a hot pan, let them cook for a few seconds, top with whatever. Cook for a few minutes covered. Turn it over and cook a few more minutes and it's done.
For a traditional one I have a heavy oven safe saute pan that works like a charm.

May I ask how you prepare the sesame ginger carrots? Just raw carrots, sesame oil and fresh or powderd ginger, or do you cook them?

They are super easy -
Heat up some sesame oil, toss in some finely chopped or grated fresh ginger ans stir for a few seconds, add the carrots, stir fry until just underdone (about 4 minutes for the size I cut), add some soy sauce ( I used 2 tablespoons for four carrots) stir for a minute or so, add some red pepper flakes, stir again for a few seconds, add some sesame seeds, stir again for a few seconds and you're done. If you don't have fresh ginger just leave it out, they are just as good without it. Same with the hot peper if you don't like it.
