Bento Challenge Week 16: Green!

For someone who tends to bring a lot of salad in her bentos, I’m kinda surprised that this one doesn’t contain any. But believe me, I’m not complaining. Last night my wife and I made Smitten Kitchen’s unbelievably delicious artichoke gratin toasts. (Though I couldn’t find frozen artichoke hearts at Trader Joe’s, despite going to two different locations, so I made do with Bird’s Eye. Maybe they’ve been discontinued?). We also made her crispy lemon garlic broccoli, which would have fit with the theme, but it was so tasty we devoured the entire thing. But the day before yesterday my wife made her amazing Sherpa Khala, one of my all-time favorite comfort foods (potatoes, tomatoes, spinach, curry, and chicken stock; what could possibly be better?), and there was just enough left over to bring in my bento this morning.
