Shout Out Lunch Bucket Bento!
Mar 18th, 2008 by admin
One of my favorite Phoenix blogs is Lunch Bucket Bento. Lisa and crew are a bento toting, Daring Baking group. A few times a week, she posts snapshots of what I believe are the coolest lunches in town. Sometimes her posts are a simple list of what was packed and other times, she shares simple, but delicious recipies.
My work routine has changed this past quarter and my plans to ride the bus one day a week haven’t been working out. So, in thinking about how I can change just one thing in my day to help out Mama Earth, I’ve been taking my lunch to work more. I’ve been pretty good these past few weeks and as I was packing my lunch, I kept thinking how useful a bento box would be.
This weekend I acquired my very own bento box! I’m so freakin excited and it’s so much fun thinking about how much flavor I can pack in on little box!
This week I’m working through a batch of Sonoma Chicken Salad and Cantaloupe with Chili Powder and Honey.
I don’t know what website I was trolling when I saw this simple recipe for Cantaloupe with Chili Powder and Honey, but it’s super tasty and has really hit the spot this week.
Cantaloupe with Chili Powder and Honey
1 Cantaloupe (balled)
2 t locally harvested Honey and Mint
1-2 t chili powder
Method:
Mix it all together and enjoy!

I love bento idea for lunch, but since I’m either working from home or on the road, it doesn’t work for me….boo.
Love the canteloupe with chili idea, must try that.
Ah - it’s a disease I tell you! That melon looks lush - where on earth did you find local mint?
This picture makes me want to pack a lunch every day! It looks amazing and so healthy!
