Getting creative with rice, Pt. 1

This was yesterday's meal: rice, broccoli, boiled egg, strawberries and carrots. I also included some granola with cinnamon and raisins as snack/sweets.

In this lunch: Rice with pasta sauce*, carrots, broccoli and dipping sauce in the container. I also added some strawberries.

This is today's. I know it was going to have rice, but I've been tiring of white rice... so I noticed yesterday, while reheating some ravioli, that I had made WAY too much sauce. It was yummy savory sauce too. So I saved it and mixed the rice with it this morning, and ended up like some sort of risotto. No doubt it will taste awesome, and I kind of like the addition to that. That, plus I didn't want to cook anything new yesterday. Today, I might have two goals; potato croquettes and mini empanadas. Or cheese sticks of sorts. It'll be fun what I try and do just so it fits in the smaller bento boxes, haha.

Am I the only one that has issues closing a bento box after preparing it to find that things do not fit right?
(And yeah, I promise I'm working on getting a camera...)
