In this bento: a slice of meatloaf (I use a recipe from the America's Test Kitchen cookbook), baby carrots, boiled potatoes, raw broccoli, slices of watermelon radish from Wild Rose Ranch, walnuts from the Santa Rosa Original Certified Farmers Market, and a mandarin orange.
This was a leftovers bento, and it came together really quickly. I didn't do any cute elements, but I think that the colors look good together and the balance of nutrients is quite good. And my husband might even eat this one... that is, if I made one like it for him. This one was all mine! :)
You're right; it does look well-balanced and colorful. I love meatloaf; thanks for the reminder! Must put on menu soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks sheri! Don't tell my husband if you decide to make it. He'll find a way to invite himself over. :)
ReplyDeleteNice color and nutrient balance, Michelle :) I love to have one too :b
ReplyDeleteYou don't need any cute element in this bento as it already look so good with the colours and full of nutritious food!
ReplyDeleteOoh, now I want meatloaf. What do you put in yours?
ReplyDeleteHi Yenny! Thanks so much, it was tasty. :)
ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks Kids Dream Work! I really appreciate your kind words.
ReplyDeleteMmmm, meatloaf! Hi dragonmamma! I use half ground beef, half ground pork. Saltines, parsley, Worchestershire sauce, a little tabasco, egg, and other stuff. The glaze is ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar.
