After a little time away, lunches are kind of based on what we might have leftover, so they get a little interesting. Grocery shopping is on my agenda, but I had to wait till today to see what the new sales are. I grabbed just a couple things (strawberries being one of them) earlier in the week, but wanted to wait and see what else we needed.
Bacon ranch pasta salad (1/2 cup, 200 cal.)
Pork Shu Mai Dumplings from Trader Joe's (2 shu mai, 116 cal.)
Strawberry slices (3 oz., 28 cal.)
------------------
Box total calories are approximately 360 cal.
For total costs, the shu mai run about $0.39 each, so $0.78 for two. I have a Trader Joe's frozen appetizer problem, so you'll likely see some interesting ones when they are The strawberries were $3.99 for a 2lb container, so $0.37 for those. I've estimated the salad around $0.75 as I made a larger portion of it and divided it between lunches and dinners. Total cost would be about $1.90.
This lunch is packed in a Paperchase bento box that I've had for years. These 3 Sprouts Bento Boxes on Amazon have a fairly similar layout to them, but the Paperchase one has removable containers which I kind of like. This way it's much easier to heat up the shu mai.
The little green bear is actually a teeny tiny fork. It makes moving the food a bit easier and it's really cute. If you're interested in those, it's very similar to these animal fork picks on Amazon for about $5.
