Finishing up as I type...

Half a patty melt (burger, swiss, fried onions on rye), waffle fries, baked beans, salad with smoked tomato dressing, two clementines.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Bento for 11/21

A new camera should be procured this weekend.



Mexican fiesta today. Smashed spiced pintos & chicken fajitas, muffin cup of guacamole and muffin cup of jack cheese, spanish rice, hot sauce, clementine. I brought a whole wheat and a chile tortilla with me and made my own burritos. This was really, really good!

Bentos for 11/13 through 11/17

I was in training all last week as well as experiencing one of the more difficult weeks I've had in a very long while. I just couldn't bear to take phone pics of my lunches last week however I did pack my lunch every single day. I'm pretty proud that I was able to do that and am planning on what to do with the $50 I saved by not buying breakfast or lunch!

Monday: Roast beef and gravy, mashed potatoes, broccoli, and homemade whole wheat french bread

Tuesday: Beefy cheesy noodle mix, salad w/ lemon tahini, almonds, grapes

Wednesday: Sloppy joe on whole wheat bun, cheese stick, salad w/ smoked tomato, almonds and grapes

Thursday: Ham, potatoes au gratin, salad w/ lemon tahini dressing, almonds

Friday: Leftover cheesesteak mixture (chipped beef, fried onions, and cheese), baked beans, small side of au gratin potatoes, salad w/ lemon tahini, apple

Bento for 11/10

Today's lunch courtesy of Trader Joes.



Chicken stir fry, veggie gyoza with gyoza sauce, veggie egg roll, curry noodles. Yum!

Bento for 11/9

Another contender for "most unappetizing picture". Fortunately it was delicious.



E. made everything. Yankee potroast using a cross-cut roast from our grass-fed beef share, CSA sweet potatoes, carrots and onions. Then he made creamed spinach, twice baked potatoes, and homemade french bread. Banana for snack. It was divine!

Bento for 11/7

More leftovers. I thought I was going out to lunch today but instead I'm in meetings for most of it so I just threw together what was in the fridge.



Leftover baked potato with a tablespoon of herbed chèvre, lemon tahini dressing, multigrain crackers, salad, almonds



In the food jar I had Creamy White Bean and Chorizo Soup which I hope doesn't kill me because, erm, I made it last week. A TJ's 100 calorie cookie pack so I don't eat all the Halloween candy my coworkers have brought in.

Bento for 11/6

Ugh. I really hope to get a new camera soon. Any suggestions for what kind?



Texas style BBQ today. Smoked pork loin, spicy texas BBQed beans, cole slaw, mixed veggies, BBQ sauce in the dip container and some TJ's chocolate cats cookies. Beans and slaw are in mini silicone muffin cups.

Bento for 11/3

Winner of worst picture!



This was really delicious though! Celery Root Risotto, mixed veggies, delectable ham from our pork share, with a roasted beet "face", dip container has sun-dried tomato pesto for the risotto, and yet another pilfered treat from my daughter's stash.

Bento for 11/2

Ugh. I can't wait to get another camera. These phone pictures are terrible!



Today I have braised chicken with celery root, a mini french salad, half a mini baguette, smoked tomato dressing and a pilfered treat from my daughter's Halloween haul.

It was really delicious but bone-in chicken is a pain in the butt to eat with a fork and spoon. I sopped up all the wonderful sauce with the baguette.
