If you don't mind cooking, think Indian samosas...I think the filling combinations would be endless. You could take a tortilla or wrap and spread ricotta cheese, add cubed tomatoes, fresh basil leaves and a little olive oil/balsalmic vinager mix and some salt and pepper, then roll it up and cut it into rounds. In fact you can do that roll and cut with the tortilla/wrap bread/naan bread/pita bread with an infinite number of fillings, savoury and sweet. Cured ham, like proscuitto, or anything like that salty and thin sliced, wrapped around honeydew or cantalope is divine. Leftover grits and mash potatoes can be stiffened with a little flour and fried in little squares to be eaten as is or topped with stuff. If your town has a farmer's market, go and ask the vendors about their favorite snack/finger foods. Nuts make nice snacks because they are so chock full of nutrients and energy and come in such small sizes. roll meat/cheese in large lettuce leaves instead of bread for something different. Hard boiled eggs. When your grocery store has samples, think of how you can make that same thing yourself in the size for carrying in your box. Google hors d'ouvres (spelling is wrong I am sure) and see what pops up, it might give you some ideas.Indigo Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00066579613002436009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6431556850082427744.post-19170541468980756792011-07-22T10:47:02.418-07:002011-07-22T10:47:02.418-07:00I've been trying to find a bento lunch box wit...I've been trying to find a bento lunch box with no luck.
