Had a very nice weekend, which was good preparation for returning to my regular work schedule. Which I shouldn't really complain about, since I do still get to work from home two days a week, but when has that ever stopped me? ;) I did use it as an excuse, however, to go ahead and order some items from my bento wish list that've been on there for a long time. It'll be a few weeks or a month until they get here, but thought that would probably make you all collectively grin or groan, depending on how you feel about my bento pics clogging up your reading list.
- ham, cheese, and spinach mini quiches I made on Sunday afternoon; steamed cauliflower with carrot shapes for garnish
- carrot and celery sticks with honey peanut butter dip
- kiwi and Anjou pear slices
- dried mango slices and chocolate almond clusters

The mini quiches were something I'd been meaning to make for awhile, so when we got a nice bunch of fresh spinach in our bin last week, and I had some ham and cheese to use up, I figured it was time.
;)
I used little rounds of biscuit dough in muffin tins to make them, and used milk instead of cream to mix with the eggs. The ham is just the last of the Black Forest ham from the deli that I'd used last week in my wrap, chopped up, and the spinach I tore into pieces and wilted with a bit of oil in a saute pan. We only had a sad little piece of cheese left in the fridge by the time I got around to making these, so there's not a lot in cheese in them, but they turned out mighty tasty nonetheless. And as you can see, I ended up with WAY more egg custard stuff than would possibly fit in the tins, but that just meant a nice frittata for dinner. Win/win!
