About BentoLunch.Net

I'm Shannon, army wife, mom to 2 young adults, living and loving life here in Colorado!

BentoLunch started in 2007 when my oldest was starting school and we needed cute, fun food she could eat quickly during lunchtime.

Over the years, it's cycled back around into quick, fun, easy lunches and snacks for our adult selves.

Top Picks

Crockpot Lasagna Recipe - NO precooking involved!

Lasagna photo courtesy of WikiCommons (I couldn't find mine) I've seen several recipes going around Facebook and Pinterest for a crockpot lasagna, and promised my friends that I definitely had a better (and easier) one. I've shared it before on my column on MomTrends, but I think I need it here too. Most versions of crockpot lasagna involve precooking the ground beef. If I actually had any desire to precook anything, I wouldn't be using my crockpot, I'd just use the oven and a pan. My entire reason for using a crockpot is to throw the food into it and come back later to a cooked meal and one dirty dish. So without further ado, the no-cook crockpot lasagna recipe! Ingredients: 15 oz. (1 container) ricotta cheese 1/4 cup parmesan cheese 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese 1 lb ground beef 2-3 Tbsp minced garlic 1 tsp oregano 1 jar marinara sauce (24 oz) Lasagna noodles Directions: In one bowl, combine ricotta, parmesan and 1 cup of mozzarella....

Yet More Feeling Better Girl Lunches

Still feeling much better, so we've got another lunch going on today! I definitely need to get back into the swing of girl lunches. Snack boxes for my husband is super easy, but that's because I make 4-5 identical ones. On the other hand, I do NOT want the same thing more than once! Today's adult lunchable features: Potato salad (1/3 cup, 160 cal.) Sharp cheddar cheese (1.5 oz., 150 cal.) Baby carrots (12 carrots, 48 cal.) Honeydew (1/2 cup, 32 cal.) ------------------ Total calories for the box are approximately 390 cal. For costs, the potato salad is around $0.70 because it is the preferred brand, but at least it's on sale! The cheese is about $0.34 because I'm using the store brand blocks of cheese versus the deli right now. Baby carrots are about $0.42 and the honeydew is around $0.25 for the serving. Total box cost would be about $1.71. This box is an EasyLunchboxes Snack Box once again, on Amazon for about $12 for a 4-pack.

One of Our Pre-Vacation Girl Lunches

I have a few more lunches from before our DC vacation to share, but they all seem a tad bit repetitive. Before the trip, I took out a whole bunch of containers and any food that was not going to make it till after the trip. That food became the lunches of the week so I didn't have to throw much out. Today's adult lunchable features: Potato salad (1/3 cup, 160 cal.) White smoked cheddar (1.5oz., 150 cal.) Baby carrots (12 carrots, 48 cal.) Honeydew (1/2 cup, 32 cal.) ------------------ Total calories for the box are approximately 390 cal. For costs, the potato salad is around $0.70 because it was on sale so I bought the favored brand. The cheese was from the deli, so going with $1 to be safe. Baby carrots are about $0.42 and the honeydew is around $0.25 for the serving. Total box cost would be about $2.37. This box is an EasyLunchboxes Snack Box once again, on Amazon for about $12 for a 4-pack.
