This weekend was my husband’s birthday and we had a a little party for him at my parent’s house. My amazing mom made us grilled chicken with pitas and tzatziki, a greek salad, roasted green beans with almonds, shrimp, and lots of hummus and crackers. We were stuffed!

We got sent home with leftovers and I knew I wanted to make them into a bento. Since we had been eating it all weekend I wanted to add a bunch of new stuff as well. Other than the grilled chicken and pitas, I packed a hard boiled egg, shiso leaf, blanched snow peas, strawberries, yellow squash, cucumber, carrots, a radish, and a marinated mozzarella pearl. Then I decorated the bento with an edible flower and some boxwood basil leaves.

I’m finally starting a proper newsletter! If you want to sign up, check the sidebar on the right and the signup box is right there. I promise I won’t spam you, lol! I’ll send a newsletter out no more than twice a month. It’ll be an easy way to see what’s been going on at Ohayo Bento, new and restocked products in the bento store, and special offers for newsletter subscribers.

Have a happy Monday and Happy Bento-ing!
