Lunch Box for One USA Unit - 04/19/2013

As you can see, I don't blog about the lunch box at the same day...just because I'm lazy to upload the photos from phone to my computer. I guess I should start letting the phone auto backup my photos. Anyway, today the lunch box doesn't really fit into hubby's Atkins Diet lol I made dumplings...hubby likes dumplings, so......so......I box the dumplings as a part of hubby's lunch. Today's lunch box includes: 

• Green onion dumplings 
• Boil asparagus
• Salad box has hard boil egg, lettuce, a little bit pickles, tuna salad

After preparing the lunch box, I cooked something for dinner...and I decided to box a small box of

• Spicy pork and onion stir-fry

for the lunch because hubby really likes this dish :)

Lunch Box for One USA Unit - 04/18/2013

Today's lunch box only takes like 15 minutes to prepare, the main reason is I used the carnitas I got from Costco (see the following photo). 

• Carnitas stir-fry with asparagus and chili pepper (I got some frozen chili peppers from local Asian market, oh man, it's sooo spicy...)
• Soy sauce bean curd
• Stir-fry carrot & cucumbers 

Lunch Box for One USA Unit - 04/17/2013

We always have similar ingredients in the fridge, and I' trying very hard to make the food taste different everyday so that One USA Unit wouldn't feel bored. I wish he could eat fruits because it's pretty easy to make salad different by adding different fruits lol I bought some salad dressing which are low/no sugar and low/no carbs...so for his salad, I usually just alter the dressing everyday. Today's lunch box:

• Salad
• Boil broccoli (add a little bit salt afterwards)
• Hard boiled egg
• Bacon and lettuce stir-fry
• Pork and bean curd stir-fry

Lunch Box for One USA Unit - 04/16/2013

Today's (ok...not exactly today, it's more like "that day") lunch box theme is "As Green As Possible" lol Most of the time, I don't exactly plan things out, which includes I don't plan what to cook for dinner :D My theory of making the lunch box is "JUST FILL THE CONTAINER with the food I think One USA Unit would be able to handle it"...One USA Unit's theory of eating the lunch box is "Open and eat it," so I think what it looks doesn't really matter lol 

Anyway, here comes the lunch box with all sort of green stuff in:

• Baked pesto fish
• Boil broccoli 
• Edamame
• Cucumber (edible, but majorly serve as decorating purpose lol)
• Salad

Lunch Box for One USA Unit - 04/11/2013

4/11/2013 Lunch Box for One USA Unit includes:

• Bok choy (Chinese cabbage) stir-fry with tofu
• Onion pork sitr-fry (hubby likes this a lot :D)
• Boiled Asparagus
• Soy sauce fried egg 

So far, these things work well with hubby's diet. He has lost some weight and good thing is he's not gaining weight even if he occasionally eats some noodles or bread! Anyway, I still don't put rice in the bento box, instead, I sometimes include some lettuce in the bottom of the food :)

Lunch Box for One USA Unit - 04/12/2013

It's FRIDAY!!! Yay~ 

Too bad that One USA Unit still needs to work tomorrow. This is a super simple pork salad for him tomorrow. The funny things about this lunch box:

1. The egg looks like Taiwan.
2. The pork is SUPER SPICY lol (I think One USA Unit can handle it...hopefully)

Lunch Box for One USA Unit - 04/04/2013

As usual, I tried to prepare lunch box for One USA Unit. We usually get our grocery from Costco, so whatever ingredients we buy would continue appear in the lunch box until we use them all up. 

April 4th's lunch box has:

• Salad (just some lettuce and cheese)
• Left over lime shrimp from yesterday lol
• Stir-fried asparagus with pork
• Broccoli (I added some shichimi on it)
• Hard boiled egg 

Lunch Box for One USA Unit - 04/03/2013

One USA Unit is on diet, so I have to prepare food for him. It's not that he makes me cook for him...it's more like I love my hubby so I can't stand for watching him prepare his over simplify lunch. (Ok ok...I know...I also only prepare simple food anyway, but mine is still slightly more complicated than his lol)

In the photo---

• Left: pork curry salad (since he can't eat rice, so I use lettuce instead)
• Middle: lime shrimp, hard boil egg, three kind of cheese
• Right: pan fried asparagus & vegetables
