Quesadilla Bento

Leftover pulled pork made its way into this bento (I made it last week, but am just now posting it), full of fun colors and flavors.

In this bento: a pulled pork quesadilla made with pepper jack cheese, pulled pork, and a handmade style tortilla from Sonoma County's La Tortilla Factory, a purple sweet potato flower, a few black grapes, half of a radish, a clementine from Schletewitz Family Fruit Stand, cilantro, sour cream, and salsa.

I am coming up on my 1 year blog anniversary (blogiversary?) and I am really excited. I will be recreating one of my first bentos, and I will also have a fun prize for you to win. Keep an eye out towards the end of the month. Have a great day, bento pals!

  1. Congrats on your upcoming 1 year mark.

    My first bento was done April 28, 2010. Looks like we starting this crazy adventure around the same time.

    I'd be scared to recreate my first bento. I've learned so much since then. And looking back it sucked. lol

  4. Ooo, Genetta! Your blogiversary is one day before mine! :) It will be fun to recreate my first bento, because like you, I have really improved my bento style since then. It will be a bit embarrassing to show my first bento, but hey, we all have to start somewhere, right? :)

  5. Thanks so much TJ! I will definitely try to take notes and find out how my style has developed and try to point out where I had difficulties in the past.

  6. Thanks Heather! I steamed this potato and saved slices in the freezer individually wrapped so I could use them easily in bento. Yum!

  11. Now I want something with salsa and sour cream! I've already had dinner and brushed my teeth, so I guess I'm having a mexican omelette for breakfast tomorrow.
