So there was leftover sushi rice from dinner, so I decided to make oingiri...however, we were all out of groceries and had nothing even remotely traditional to fill it with...so I compromised a lot.

Top Tier: Almond butter stuffed oingiri with cinnamon sugar instead of furikake (see? as nontraditional as it gets! It was pretty good, but I think it'd do better as a mixed oingiri or with brown rice so it's more flavorful), honey bunches of oats cereal, blueberries

Bottom Tier: Baked savory tofu, edamame.

Quorn cutlet w/ lemon pepper, gouda bear and gouda peices
2 hard-boiled eggs and a few peices of carrot

This is delayed, but I was a cooking FIEND last Friday:

Breakfast:

Craig reaching for our delicious blueberry-honey-wheat pancakes w/ maple syrup and sliced strawberries. Drink of tea.

I had a small little snack-lunch bento:

Corn, peas, carrots, and sugar snap peas, almond butter and kiwi wrap w/ strawberry hearts.

And this is my masterful vegan steak pie, of course I had to make it cute:

And this is how it looked on my plate:

I also made mashed potatoes and more veggies, and I drank about half of the apricot beer.

I've been off school or been home around schooltime so there haven't been any bentos. These are sort of bentos without the boxes though, eh? ;)

A delicious avocado, quorn, and a bit of gouda sandwhich on health nut bread, organic baby carrots with organic hummus, and a ginormous strawberry.
