Monbento Original #1 (Double Tier)

Bac'n bits; my homemade creamy dill dressing; a simple salad of mixed lettuces (butter and leaf lettuces) with cucumber, tomato, and onion; Tofurky and Violife cheddar mini sandwiches, and mango chunks.

After doing my grocery shopping on a weeknight, any more involved meal prep was out of the question, but this was just what I needed. I am not that much of a green salad person but I was desperately craving something simple and fresh after that long slog through my pantry, so this really got me excited. This was also my first time to try Violife cheese, which is so good. I'm eager to try the other varieties available near me, especially the feta and block Parmesan. I haven't had feta in more than three years, I think.

It may just be a honeymoon period, but I absolutely love this lunch box. It's so elegant and the different components make it so wonderfully functional. I'm glad I bought the extra accessories, like the dividers and the tiny sauce cups. I wish I were famous enough for Monbento to just send me free lunch boxes; alas, I am not. So far, though, my totally unpaid-for opinion is that they are absolutely worth the money.
