Lately, I've been making my own lunches ... trying to cook at home rather than buying food for a combination of health and financial reasons.
I discovered bento boxes, a Japanese method of packing lunches that are fun to view as well as eat. Traditional boxes are packed with rice, protein, and vegetables .. in that order. I've adapted them a bit more to my style, but since I enjoy asian food, it's easy to do fairly traditional boxes .. but I like more vegetables than is traditional. It does mean that I usually need to pack a snack box as well or I get hungry in the afternoon.
I'm also trying to lose weight, yet again, so the smaller box sizes help to limit portions as well.
If you pack lunches, for yourself or others ... consider giving bento boxes a try.
