Harvest bento
Today was the first day that it really truly felt like fall. It was chilly outside! I had to wear a coat! Root veggies and apples are also taking up more shelf space in the stores. This is exciting to me because fall foods are my favorite. I love everything about fall. The cold air, the smell of burning leaves, the foods, the colors of the trees, my birthday... :)
Today's bento takes advantage of a few fall foods:
Chicken, butternut squash (tonkatsu sauce in the piggy for both chicken and squash), garlic-y snap peas, teeny-tiny apple.
Nutritional Information: 144 calories 2g fat, 17g carbs, 14g protein
Whoa! Ok, firstly, you have to know that I pack lunches first and calculate later. This seemed like a decent-sized meal when I finished (and having just eaten it, I'm sated). In light of this, I grabbed a snack on the way out of the door and might partake in a mini bag of popcorn this afternoon. I will make sure I get enough in me today, I promise. :)
That said, my husband's meal was the same size. He got a generous helping of trail mix as well as another snack. He also has access to a small cafe and vending machines (I do not). He'll be ok, too.
Not a fan of squash, he gets a helping of roasted potatoes instead.
There is a dinner tonight!
