I first though about making a mixed salad for lunch.

But destiny made me do something else.

Some people think Friday the 13th is a day of bad luck. Others prefer thinking the opposite.

Right before Saint Patrick’s Day, let’s have a green bento!

Green… juste like basilicum! Tasty basilicum plants are back in garden centres and supermarkets. Let’s jump at the chance!

Hot and cold food in the same bento box? It may be! Forget about separator or cold meal for a few minutes. The solution is to use disposable food boxes. A small one for  a dis hand the biger one for the other!

In the disposable food boxes: bulgur with tomato and basilicum and almost hard-boiled egg with tuna quenelle.

Sunday is perfect for cooking. On Sundays, we always have time for family cooking or just simple recipes. No stress, let’s enjoy the day!

On the menu: coral lentils, beetroot, black radish and cucumber salad and ham rolled with cream cheese, shallot  and basilicum.

After big stomach aches, I had an appendectomy on Monday. The blog’s planning have been a bit affected.

Appendicitis on Sunday night, then doctor appointment on Monday afternoon, and surgery on the same day! This was quite fast and unexpected!

We don’t start february with a pleasant climate. Why not starting with an appetizing bento ?

Let’s have a tasty meal: shrimp marinade, rice, rocket with lemon and olive oil dressing and a little swedish carrot cake.

The sun didn’t showed up for a quite long time… Let’s put some « veggies of the sun » in our bentos to compensate for it.

Lack of vitamines ? This couscous is with crunchy carotts and zucchini. Vegetables tend to loose their vitamines when they are cooked in water or during a long time. Grating them is a good alternative!

After a few days very cold and windy, a bit of sun is always a good reason to have a few steps outside. Today was very sunny, the perfect day to have a picnic outside.
