DIY Birdie Box-2

This adorable lunch box sandwich hack is a simple way to say ”I love you a bushel and a peck.”

What You Need:
2 slices of whole wheat bread
1 slice of cheddar cheese
2 slices turkey
1/2 cup carrots, sliced
3  Nut ThinsⓇ crackers
1/4 Grape tomatoes, halved
Hard-boiled egg
3 pieces of lettuce, to garnish
1 Tbsp balsamic dressing
 

How It’s Made:
Using a knife, cut one slice of bread into a circle— this will be the bottom part of a sandwich.
Cut another slice of bread to resemble a shell-like shape.
Spread balsamic dressing on the bottom slice of bread and add turkey, cheese, and carrots.
In your lunchbox, lay lettuce in the top left corner and place the sandwich on top.
Add sliced carrots below the sandwich. In one muffin cup add halved tomatoes and in the other, add crackers.
In the corner of your lunch box, lay lettuce and place hard-boiled egg on top.
Finish your sandwich by adding two drops of balsamic dressing for the eyes and a piece of carrot for the beak.
