I’m feeling especially efficient and productive this morning. I made this bento, from scratch, this morning as I got ready for work. The sausage was cooked, the cabbage was roasted, and the cornbread was baked. I am SO looking forward to this bento at lunch time. Party because of the cornbread. I mixed in 1 1/2 tsp of dried thyme and 3/4 cup of shredded shard cheddar cheese into the recipe. And it tastes pretty good. Personally, I think it might have needed a full 2 tsp of thyme, but it turned out for a first time, spontaneous cooking adventure.
Today’s lunch is packed in a set of Easy Lunchboxes I received from the creator of the set: Kelly Lester. Ms. Lester recently contacted Not Exactly Bento to ask if I would be interested in receiving a set for review. I agreed. I was interested in the set when I saw them featured on jasmere.com but had a busy day and missed out on the deal offered.
This week, I’m packing my lunches in these little boxes and at the end of the week, I’m going to let you know what I think. I already have my list of “what I like and what I wish were different” forming.

I have a pair of the ziploc version of that reusable lunch container. Works pretty good for portioning, but it doesn’t fit in any of my 4(!) insulated coolers. I really wanted it to work, as it would make packing for my diet quite easy. Unfortunately, I’m back to using several small containers for my 12-hour shifts.
This looks SO good! I just recently started eating cabbage again, I forgot how much I liked it!! I’m toying around with the idea of making some cabbage rolls, but it will be my first try so we’ll see how well it goes.
Nommm! Yes, please!!!
