Spaghetti & Meat'less'balls bento

I have been seeing this Veggie Patch brand a lot lately when I am grocery shopping, and My fiance and I have been wanting to try it, so Last week I picked up a container of Meatless meatballs that my fiance has been dieing to try.
I opened the package and they looked pretty good (Sorry the meatballs look foggy, the camera picked up a glare on the plastic covering). And cooking them was super easy, I just popped the amount I wanted into a bowl covered it with a napkin and popped them into the microwave fro less then 1 min. Then I took them out and let them sit for 1 min like the box said.
Meanwhile I made homemade garlic bread to go with out pasta bento.
I took one of the delicious leftover rolls we had, sliced it and cut it in half. Then I spread each half with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, Garlic Powder, and Parsley. Then I popped those into the toaster oven.
It came out sooooo good, I will probably be making this again soon. YUM!
I had cooked the pasta the night before so it wouldn't take me so long to pack the bentos, And I also made homemade Tomato sauce using fresh tomatoes from the garden, Fresh Spinach, baby carrots, onions, basil, garlic, herbs, and Freshly Ground Pepper mix. It came out AMAZING! Yum, I loved this sauce, it was so chunky and full of delicious vegetables. I am glad I made enough for leftovers because that's what I bringing for lunch tomorrow! :)
 So Here is my bento. I lined the bottom tier with plastic Wrap so the tomato sauce wouldn't ruin my bento box.
  • Garden Delight Spaghetti
  • Homemade Tomato Sauce
  • Meatless Meatballs
  • Homemade Garlic Bread
  • Lettuce Mix Salad with Baby Carrots, Cherry Tomatoes, and Broccoli (I later added Light Italian Dressing)
The meatballs were delicious! They tasted very meaty and if I didn't know they were meatless, I would have not known. I will definitely be buying this brand again... and luckily the box had a coupon inside, and it's on sale this week at the grocery store, so I'm double lucky!

My fiance didn't want tomato sauce, she wanted Alfredo... and we had a jar of it left over in the fridge from when I made 'Chicken' Alfredo pizza (using meatless chicken).
  • Garden Delight Spaghetti
  • Light Alfredo Sauce
  • Meatless Meatballs
  • Broccoli
  • Homemade Garlic Bread
  • Fresh Spinach Salad with Baby carrots, Cherry Tomatoes, Mini White Mushrooms, and Broccoli. (Light Ranch dressing was added later)
My Fiance Loved the meatballs! LOVED! Tomorrow we are going grocery shopping so I wonder what will end up in the cart this time. lol
