I know Hubs wants low-carb, but it’s just a tiny bit of pasta, lol! It was really good too so it’s worth a little cheat. I tossed the pasta with sauteed onions, chorizo sausage, tomatoes, and garlic. Everything in moderation right? The rest of the bento (packed in my Lunchbots Uno) is pretty healthy though: seared zucchini, spicy baked chicken breast, hard boiled egg, cucumber, and some grapes.

I went to the farmer’s market this weekend and picked up the last bag of kale. I swear, this bag is big enough to feed an army! Last night we had a giant pan of sauteed kale and onions, and I barely made a dent. I think I’m going to do some kale with mushrooms for my bento tomorrow and one of these days I hope to try my hand at kale chips. Do you have any favorite kale recipes? I could use some inspiration!

I’m really excited right now because my first tomatoes are starting to ripen! They’re so bright, they look like they’re lit from within, that photo isn’t a camera trick, that’s what they really look like. I swear, I go outside and check on them like 5 times a day. It’s a little rough on tomatoes in the FL heat, but so far they’re surviving!

Happy Bento-ing!
