I'm starting to get a better sense of the bento and able to incorporate the color green (which was sorely lacking in the first few), and finding a good balance of protein, whole grain carb, and fruit/vegetables. This is one I put together for Ken in his 'new' box directly from Japan.
Spicy grilled chicken on a bed of lettuce
sunflower seeds
whole grain crackers
sharp cheddar cheese
blueberries
peanuts
Here's MELG's bento in her new Cat box. Her lunch includes
Onigiri with masago
soy sauce (in little red bottle with green lid)
spicy chicken breast
peanuts
cheese
whole grain crackers
blueberries -- sprinkled with a few Nerds candies in hopes of enticing a bite
