Pesto Pasta Panda Bento - the first bento of 2013!
Well, it's been quite a long time (about 3 weeks) since I've made a bento, taken a photo and posted to the blog. But I'm baaaa-aack! School started last week, actually, and that's when I made this one for TinySprite. It's simply some whole wheat rotini pasta tossed with pesto and sprinkled with parmesan. Easy! And it's usually the first kind of bento I make when we get back home and face an empty refrigerator. The top tier of the beloved panda bowl bento holds some satsuma mandarin segments, a tiny cup of blueberries, a couple grape tomatoes, steamed broccoli and Okinawan sweet potato, carrot, and a piece of homemade granola bar. So glad we had enough odds and ends around the house to fill up a decent bento lunch. Welcome to the new year, friends!

I am always so jealous of how much light you have in Cali! I always have to resort to artificial lighting and it is just not the same. Your pics are always so bright and cheerful!
ReplyDeleteI always say the light is what makes the photo... Even the most ordinary bento looks fresh and exciting in sunlight... And I'm so excited that the days are getting longer so I can take pics later now. Yay! Thanks Silver :D
DeleteYou did all of that with an empty fridge? You rock!! I'm so glad to see you're back ^_^
