Bento #9 - Snack

I usually don't pack lunch on Thursdays since my company does lunch presentations. They buy either subs or pizza... yea, not too exciting at all. In order to spice it up a bit (and not eat so much pizza), I will probably snack on this first before the presentation.

I bought baguette that was already pre-sliced, which is a total timesaver! Plus, it ensures even thickness. The baguettes are toasted with a garlic butter mixture (I Can't Believe It's Not Butter - Mediterranean Style, salt, pepper, oregano, garlic and onion powder)... YUM! Ok, talking about it just makes me want it now... but no no no, I just finished dinner! haha...

kiwi, baby carrots, toasted baguette, roasted red pepper hummus, and cherry tomatoes

Bento #6 - say cheese!

is it me or do the weekends always seems too short? i usually try to keep on my feet on the weekends by tidying up the house and running errands, and making at least one gym run. this week is week 2 back on my gym routine, and i typically go three times in the morning at 5:30 before work and once on saturday. that was my routine before i stopped right before thanksgiving (holidays always leads to more eating and less exercising... how ironic). no physical change yet, but i sure feel a lot better! plus, this whole bento thing is making me more conscious of what i eat. i even made it a point to pick up more items to pack into lunch during the bi-weekly grocery shopathon. without further delays, here she is!

top tier: o-jing-uh jigae (squid & tofu in spicy broth), cherry tomatoes, linguini w/ mussels,

bottom tier: garlic toasted baguettes, laughing cow swiss, and green grapes

i can't wait for lunch tomorrow! *smiles*
