*Welcome to Bento Box Saturday! Every week, I post a photo of one of my bento lunches. I use a Laptop Lunches bento box and I love it because it helps me to reduce the amount waste I create, since I don’t produce a lot of extra garbage from throw away packaging. To learn more about how I pack and carry my bento, check out this post*
This week I packed my bento with:
- Romaine, radish and celery salad
- Balsamic Vinaigrette
- Home made bread
- Cherries
- Ham and Veggie Soup
- Almonds
- Dark Chocolate
Tell me about your reusable baggie – is it lined with plastic? Is it airtight? Where can I get one?

Your bento boxes always look so yummy! It makes me want to get a laptop lunch box, only I don’t carry my lunch to work (I usually go home). What recipe do you use for your homemade bread?

That looks so delicious. I’ve been looking for a lunch box for my boyfriend for a while. i will have to check out the link.
Mmmm… the cherries. Your lunch ideas are inspirational, thank you! Do happen to have any breakfast tips (besides your delicious home-made bread)?
M – Honestly, I eat the same thing for breakfast everyday – hot oatmeal with frozen blueberries mixed in.
Tara – I’ll be writing up a post on my reusable baggies this week. I bought them from TerreMum on etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/TerreMum
It’s linen and cotton – no plastic, although there are other sellers who use laminated cotton. It isn’t completely air-tight, but I only keep dry snacks in them like almonds and trail mix, so it doesn’t really need to be. It closes with velcro.
Anna – I used the recipe for Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread found in The Joy of Cooking: http://www.amazon.com/Joy-Cooking-75th-Anniversary-2006/dp/0743246268/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1282503449&sr=8-1
Wow what a great find! The laptop lunch/bento box looks like the perfect (and totally eco-conscious) way to transport lunch where ever you go. I love having a variety of food and nibbles to choose from, and I always end up with a baggie or two at the end despite trying to pack everything in tupperware. This is the perfect solution! Thanks!
I love reading about your meals that you pack. I love to eat but I don’t like preparing or cooking food.
