#15 ~ Mashed Potato and Beef Teriyaki

I ate dinner meal for breakfast! Last night, I was so excited to see the potato in heart shape and I decided to bake it at once and made it into mashed potato. While the potato is baking, I also made beef teriyaki. This morning  I heated everything back to the oven and voila! I had a good breakfast. I'm not even hungry until 2pm.

#14 ~ Honey Chicken and Beef Wrapped

I didn't realized making bento is addicted and here I am just moved to a new home. Why Boxed Meal? As I've mentioned in my first bento, 便當 Bian Dang (Piandang) is very famous here in Taiwan. Taiwanese adapted it from Japanese (Japanese invaded Taiwan for more than 50 years). Literally, Bian Dang means A Lunch in a Box. For me, I would just like to emphasized that Boxed Lunch could be eaten any time of the day that's why I end up naming this page Boxed Meal.

#12 ~ Tuna Sandwich and Blanched Vegetables

Bento #12 ~ Tuna Sandwich and Blanched Veges

I baked the whole wheat bread creating into fun shaped like flowers, hearts, and even bears. I used tuna in water fresh from the can, I seldom eat canned food and if ever I have to add lots of vegetables to the meal. In here I used steamed okra wrapped in fish cake and baby corn as side dish. I also have mixed salad and seedless grapes for dessert.

#11 ~ Rice in Nori, Steamed Shrimp and Vegetables

Bento #11 ~ Purple Rice in Nori, Steamed Shrimp and Vegetables

What can I say, I love shrimp! But I cannot eat a lot, I have occasional allergy with it. Anyways, I can't believe this is the 11th Bento I made. I'm enjoying creating and snapping (cooking and capturing) a lot, sometimes when I look around my mind is working with what to prepare next...Although my Obentos are made just for me and I haven't tried making for kids with all those characters, maybe soon...

Bento #05 ~ Fried Chicken and Rice

Repost: The orginal was taken by blogger :(

I'm eating big time today! Kind of heavy food, but I think it's healthy in a way since it's a complete meal. How I enjoy using my do it yourself (DIY) rice molder and trying to fit all the food into the small lunch box. Good thing in my place where I live, I can buy small portion of everything. For instance, boiled egg, cooked rice, and even fresh fruits and vegetables.

#04 ~ Rice Nori, Tofu and Mushroom



Bento #04 ~ Rice Nori, Tofu, and Mushroom

#03 ~ Asparagus and Peppered Beef Egg Wrap



Bento  #03 ~ Asparagus and Peppered Beef Egg Wrap



There's nothing better than having good and healthy breakfast in the morning! I'm trying to give it a try, hoping I can continue waking up early to prepare rather than buying from breakfast store. This took around 10 minutes since I prepared the peppered beef the night before. You can also use ham and other vegetables, and mayonnaise for the dressing. For the dessert, I have cherry tomatoes and cheese.

#01 ~ Smiling Boiled Eggs Fresh Salad

Bunnies that turned into Pigs

Welcome to the world of Bento (Boxed Meal or Bian Dang /便當). There are two reasons why I started making Healthy Bento. First, I was  inspired by Cooking Gallery, then I thought of starting to eat healthy breakfast early morning since my class starts at 10am until 1pm. I always end up eating anything available for grab. I can prepare the food at night, place in the chiller, and ready to eat in the morning.
