There is no need to order Chinese take-out when you can make this easy version at home. The best part is that it is custom to you and the vegetables you like. Leftovers re-heat nicely making this perfect for work lunch. Get creative when it comes to filling the rest of your bento box. I used mini egg rolls, seaweed chips, crunchy chow mein noodles, snow peas, and grapes.

Zucchini-Raspberry Bread
This recipe is a simple zucchini nut bread with a splash of red raspberries for flavor.
Gluten-Free Pita Flatbread
Soft and chewy pita bread made with gluten-free flour. Thicker than a tortilla. Slice the tops to fill them with vegetables and even hot grilled meats, cheeses, meatballs, or falafel. These will hold up to the challenge. They double as thick wraps for shawarma, gyros, or as a flatbread for your meal.
Minnesota Pork Chops
This is a very good recipe that I got from my home state, Minnesota. Every summer when we come and visit, we are sure to buy wild rice for this casserole.
