caprese bento

Hi bento pals! Whew, its been a super busy week, how about for you? I'm glad Friday's on the way! A simple and summery lunch for Friday features a spin on caprese salad, with milky and mild fresh mozzarella slices bordered with heirloom tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil and garnished with green and fragrant basil...

A red wine-marinated miniburger, olive oil brushed ciabatta bread and tart-sweet peach slices plus sweet cherries also in the bento.

Have a relaxing and lovely weekend!

simple summer bento

Hi bento pals! A simple and cooling lunch for Monday: tabbouleh with parsley, scallion, yellow pepper, red onion, shrimp-mayo filled avocado, cucumber slices and bright farmer's market tomatoes, so flavorful they need no seasoning at all...

Have a wonderful week ahead!

rilakkuma's french bento

Today's bento was inspired by a handmade bento pick project using Rilakkuma stickers portraying RK and friends enjoying a Parisian vacation with baguettes and sweets while sporting berets...so cute!

In keeping with the Parisian theme, lunch includes a mini croissant filled with broiled mini hamburger, aioli and grape tomatoes, haricots verts with walnuts and French walnut oil. Ripe cherries plus juicy watermelon for a simple, sweet finish...

I'd like to wish my Mom a very Happy Birthday today!
