Lunch in a Box: Building a Better Bento
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Yeah, got it. Now, how about lunch? We think it's the most impossible. By eating out, you face an expensive, potentially bloating waste of an hour. Bring your lunch and dine on a hastily constructed sandwich, made soggy from too much tomato. In either case, the caloric chaos is a likely risk.
Bring in Biggie, the self-proclaimed speedy lunch packer and proprietor of Lunch in a Box: Building a Better Bento. Biggie's efforts to quickly prepare healthy and convenient mid-day meals for her family offer sustenance for us all. A bento lunch is nourishing, compact, and, if done the proper way, filled with just the right calories for a productive and happy afternoon. Beyond some of the delicious Japanese recipes, a bento lunch can be more familiar than you think. For those of us who wear lunch around our waists, Biggie's better bento means building the perfect lunch.
