I’ve never taken a bento box for lunch, but these really do sound delicious and easy! I may have to give them a try, especially the chicken, mushrooms, potatoes, and edamame!
Debbie says
A bento box lunch is a great idea! Anything to make it easier to get out the door in the morning!
Cathy V says
Mmm! I love the idea of a bento box lunch! Eating a variety of little tidbits of protein and carbs. YUM. I always forget about edamame as shelled unless I am using them IN something. They would be a great side.

I just got some bento containers from Ikea and it’s been fun packing my lunch that way! It’s funny how those little compartments make it more fun!

Right?! And it makes it so much easier to make sure you hit all the food groups!

Great ideas and suggestions on meals! I assume each recipe gives you multiple servings, so you could eat a meal and have leftovers for lunch the next day (?). Convenient!
