Bento #4

[eirenical]

Been a while, huh? ^_^ I have been cooking and actually trying to monitor calories and such, just haven't been posting picture, as I haven't had time or been using my little bento. This lunch was actually from a few days ago, but I figured I'd post for inspiration's sake. ^_^

	Bento #4 Whee! Cooking up a storm, new bento to prove it. ^_^
	Fragrant Chicken with Creamy Almond Sauce So, this came out... not exactly how I expected. Oh, it was fragrant enough when cooking -- goodness, did it smell wonderful -- but it came out a bit bland on the taste. It didn't taste bad, just not as flavorful as I was expecting. Will have to futz with the recipe some. *nodnod*
	Berries! ^_^ Never a bad idea. Strawberries and blackberries. Yay! ^_^

And there you have it. ^_^ For the calorie count:

Fragrant Chicken with Creamy Almond Sauce (1/2 cup chicken mixture -- According to the recipe book I used...) -- 150 calories
1/2 cup white rice, cooked -- 133 calories
5 large strawberries -- 43 calories
1 cup blackberries -- 62 calories
1 Jello Pudding, tapioca -- 100 calories

Total calories: 488

Ooh, that chicken looks delicious.. it's a shame it didn't turn out as tasty as it looks. But berries are always good! Yum!

*nodnod* The berries were very good. Today I did the same bento with cherries, instead. ^_^ And the chicken will be fine, too -- as noted, I just need to fuss with it a bit more. That being said, I did find an absolutely wonderful recipe for chicken marsala. ^_^
