School starts officially today, so I've decided to get back on the bento making wagon. Or somethin'
On Monday, I took some chickpeas, some Steamfresh butter-herb pasta, and diced deli turkey. The combination seemed a little odd, but it's what we had in the fridge/freezer. It actually tasted really good once I stirred it all together.
Tuesday's bento was curried chickpeas with a spring mix salad and salami with a Laughing Cow cheese wedge. I ate the cheese and salami together, picked the majority of the salad off the top of my bento box with my fingers, and stirred the rest of the salad into the chickpeas. It was delicious! I really love curried chickpeas.
Today's bento is partly a leftover bento. I cooked sausages, onions and peppers in beer and sauteed some kale for supper last night. I sliced up 1 1/2 sausage links, tossed in a few sauteed onions, and some kale. To round out the carb portion, I cooked some pinto beans with spicy Montreal steak seasoning and chipotle chili powder, and tossed about a half cup of them on top of the sausage and onions. I ate some of the beans for a snack with the leftover half link of sausage, and holy cow were they spicy! Lunch should be interesting later today....
Anyway, I'm glad to be back to making lunches for myself again. Rob will be going down to USD soon, so I'll be on my own for a few days. Hopefully my lunches will be a bit more creative for the rest of the week!
