Letter R Alphabento: How-To

Today, I will demonstrate step-by-step directions on how to recreate this Letter R Bento.

Here are the ingredients that I used: Ritz crackers, Ranch dressing, Romaine lettuce, Red bell peppers, Roast beef deli slices, Radishes and Red Raspberries.

These are the non-food items that I used: two-tiered bento boxes, circular silicone baking cups, mini silicone baking cups and condiment containers.

Thirst, place romaine leaves in the bottom of both tiers of the bento box. Then add two silicone cups to the top tier.

In one of the silicone cups, add a handful of raspberries.

Next, roast beef roll-ups. Fold each roast beef slice in half, and then in half again, creating a long strip of roast beef. Beginning at one end, roll up the roast beef; it's similar to rolling up a cinnamon bun. Place roll-ups into the bottom portion of the bento.

Add the red bell pepper strips, wedging them into place next to the roast beef roll-ups.

The Ritz crackers go into the other silicone cup in the top tier. Make sure to not overfill the cup with crackers; you don't want to make cracker crumbs when you put the lid on!

Add a condiment container full of Ranch dressing, as a dip for the veggies.

Lasty, throw in a few radish roses, or keep it simple with sliced radishes. (Note: I meant to put the radish roses into the mini silicone cup; however, they didn't fit well, which is why you see it in previous pictures, but not in the end product.)
