Bento #15- Rice and Veggies

Ok, starting the week out right with some awesome bentos!

Dante's bento: (With the super-cool chopsticks I got him for Easter!) Instant rice, frozen stir fry veggies, soy sauce fish, Star Wars fruit snacks, graham crackers, and colby jack cheese.  The fruit snacks and cheese are in the separators I got for Easter!  Awesome, huh?

My bento: Basically the same things, but with Phineas and Ferb fruit snacks! :-)  Again, fruit snacks in a silicone separator from Mom.  My cheese is in a mini paper bake cup though.  Ran out of appropriately sized separators, though I still have some in other sizes.

Heading to my brother's tomorrow so he can fix my car (YAY!  Thanks bro!), so probably no bentos tomorrow, but look for some bento awesomeness on Weds!

Bentos #10/11- Tortellini with Garlic Cream Sauce

Tuesday's dinner was pretty darn good if I do say so myself.  I bought prepackaged (I know, lame...lol) Chicken and Prosciutto Tortellini and made a Garlic Cream sauce to go on it.  I modified this recipe from food.com.  Basically, I used fat-free half and half, added Parmesan cheese, added some orange pepper when sauteeing the garlic, and added spinach and chopped prosciutto in the last step.  Then took sub rolls and sprayed them with some Olivio, added garlic salt, Italian seasoning, Parmesan, and Mozzarella and popped em in the toaster oven for a few minutes. 

 

See?  Tasty...

And, as is the theme around here, tonight's dinner becomes tomorrow's bentos (which I think is a very good thing.  I'm already noticing we throw away less food this way!)

My bento: Actually not as much leftovers as Dante's.  I have: Tortellini in the red silicone cup at the end (those things are so gosh darn handy!!), Colby Jack Cheese, Ranch dressing, Whole Grain bread, and salad (spinach, romaine, and grape tomatoes).

 

Dante's bento: Leftover Tortellini and Garlic Bread, apples, and Cheddar Babybel.  (The apples don't look quite so nifty since they're in a plastic bag, but I packed these the night before.)

And since I didn't make bentos today (it was early, I was tired, and our boxes were dirty!), I think that catches me up!  woo hoo!!

Happy Bento-ing!
