What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Time To Eat: Deconstructed BLT Bento Box! Lunch just got more interesting. Toss out that brown paper bag for something a little more sophisticated. Presentation is everything, right? Since I seldom eat three squares a day, I find “grazing” youthful and more satisfying. By assembling a variety of my faves, I created a modern version of an old classic…..the BLT. Aha! Caught your attention. These fun foods have been transformed into a finger food convenience by making them packable and diverse. Sure, I tweaked the ingredients a tad, but therein lies the wholesomeness. Now you, too, can create healthy balanced colors and textures that taste great together.
DECONSTRUCTED BLT BENTO BOX
Ingredients:
6 slices thick bacon, cooked and crispy
12 mini Italian bruschetta toast slices, rosemary and olive oil variety
4 tablespoons sriracha mayonnaise
1/3 cup micro greens
1/2 pint grape tomatoes, whole
Instructions:
Arrange the prepared ingredients in a divided bento box travel container. Seal and refrigerate until ready to take with you for a meal-on-the-go.
BLT pushes all my buttons.

I want to eat all my meals out of a Bento box. Or a divided plate like we had at school, with just the right thing in each little section.
