Starting Out With Snack Bentos

I decided to start a new blog devoted to just bentos. I was going to wait until I got my new Bento Cookbook that I won from Lia Chen at Bentolicious her wonderful bento blog! I thought that July 1st would be a good day to start. I will post about the cookbook when I get it any day now! There are some many wonderful bento box bloggers out there who have been so inspiring, and encouraging to me in my bento venture. I will be mentioning many of there blogs as I go. I know I have a lot of work yet on my blog design....it will come. On my food blog The Tiny Skillet I post mostly recipes, many of them would work well in bento lunch boxes. I will post them here as well. So here we go ...I sure hope you enjoy it as much as I have learning all about bento box lunches.
Yes I know this isn't a bento box, but it would be in one if I was going to work. Since I am home for the summer (I work at an elementary school) this was my lunch, and I didn't need to take it anywhere except out to the lani.

Here is another snack bento...with some broccoli, strawberries, cantaloupe, kumquat, watermelon radish, asparagus, and edamame on a bed of spinach leaves. Very healthy, but I sent along some dipping sauces!

I hope you will bear with me as the dust settles and I begin my journey into the world of bento blogging!
