Two delicious bentos for two different people, all tied up in one photo! Its like a two for one, only better. And, my lunch was the best because of the tofu. After experimenting, i made grilled honey terriyaki tofu to great success at dinner, and it was even better with my soba. I used the same marinade/sauce chicken for D, but even he agreed the tofu was superior (score!).
In the yellow bento (my lunch) are soba noodles with sauce container, honey terriyaki grilled tofu, edamame, grapes, pomagranate arils, and kiwi slices. In the blue bento (D’s snack pack) are soba noodles with sauce container, veggie gyoza, grapes, pomagranate arils, and kiwi stars.
Honey Terriyaki Marinade/Sauce
- 1/2 cup terriyaki sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
mix together. marinate for at least ten minutes. cook. yummy

I like to eat (eat, eat) apples and bananas! But for some reason I never get a bunch of bananas finished before they start to go soft. Sad for my lunch box, but very happy for my baking! These banana muffins had a few reasons for being, not the least of which being a grab-and-go breakfast. I used some soy protein powder to up the nutrition. I try to do this when I can, because D likes to lift weights, and as a veggie I could always use more.
