End-of-Summer Spread
This Week's Photo
Menu
* Whole Wheat Pita Bread
* Green Beans
* Baby Carrots
* Blueberries
* Hummus
Preparation Notes
It's clear that summer has started easing into fall. Here in California, there are still plenty of summer finds at the farmers' market, but winter vegetables are starting to appear as well. Market shoppers made sure they got their fill of summer's remaining bounty: blueberries, green beans, strawberries, and more. Lucky for us, the blueberries and green beans made it into our lunchboxes this week!
Cut the pita bread.
Cut the green beans.
Add some baby carrots.
Fill a medium container with blueberries.
Prepare some hummus (or purchase your favorite store-bought brand).

Bento Lunchbox: Baby Spinach Salad
This Week's Photo
Menu
* Baby Spinach Salad with Pecan Halves
* Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing
* Lowfat Cottage Cheese
* Berry Medley
Preparation Notes
Baby spinach is not only delicious, but it's packed with nutrients too. Prepare a simple salad with just a few ingredients, or go all out and make it fancy. Some of our favorite toppings include: avocado, red onion, cherry tomatoes, pears, pecans, radishes, crumbled goat cheese, and cucumbers. The raspberry vinaigrette tastes great on spinach and complements the berries packed on the side.
Create a spinach salad.
Prepare the salad dressing or include one of your store-bought favorites.
Add a few scoops of lowfat cottage cheese.
Drop a mix of berries into one of the medium containers.
