Last-Day-Of-School Salmon Bento
Wow, it's been so long since my last bento post! Seems like we've been on summer vacation forever! Luckily, it's only the 2nd day of actual summer so far, and I for one am really looking forward to the next 2 months of fun and freedom! We've been out of school since the first of the month, so there haven't been any new bento since then. I'm showing you the last few bento I made during the last week of school, when it was just too busy to post and blog. They should look very familiar, and I've come to rely on salmon/asparagus/potatoes as one of my standard fall-back bento. Happily, the kids love salmon, which I prepare in a few different ways to change it up (butteryaki, furikake, cajun, miso, dijon). Misterman's version comes in the EcoLunchbox while TinySprite's is packed in the cute 4-sectioned plasticware box. There's also yogurt with fruity toppings in there too.
The kids have just now started their summer sessions, so I'm back to packing bento again. But since I've gotten accustomed to not-blogging (and feeling like enjoying a relaxing summer), I may not post each one. Instead, I'm thinking of showing you the other things I'm cooking up in the kitchen these days. I've been baking and making ice cream and have all kinds of good things planned this summer...
Hope you all are enjoying the best season of the year!

ReplyDeleteLots of interesting experimentation going on over here, in fact, Kristie! So excited to share with you, and see what you think too. I'm trying different binders and flours, and learning a lot about each kind. Uploading on the way!

ReplyDeleteThank you Jenn!
DeleteWOW ,,, looks so delicious ,, and beautiful bento as always. Happy summer Sheri (^^,)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much CLB!
Deletehmmmhhh looks delicious !!!! I love salmon !! salmon/asparagus/potatoes as one of your standard fall-back bento, that sounds nice :D Such a good combination, i should try one day ! I don't know why but i always cook salmon with rice... Never thought of potato !! This looks appealing and gives good colour to the bento !! :) And your photos from the top are absolutely beautiful, again... I never managed to take good photos from the top, i wonder how to do ! I should take example, hahah !
ReplyDeleteI love salmon with rice too! My favorite bento is shiozake on rice. SO good. This kind of salmon is more appealing to kids so I make it this way, plus it's good with all kinds of veggies on the side. Asparagus, brussels sprouts, kabocha, whatever.
DeleteAs for top view photos, I know it's not the most attractive but it's the way I feel shows the food clearly. The stylish way of shooting at an angle is more elegant, I think :D
