The mouse steals the cheese

Few months ago, I stumbled upon a great bento site..... It was a blog written by a mom who loves to prepare bento for her son. What I like the most about the blog is the bento tutorial section. One of the tutorial teaches the reader on how to make a mouse. Hence the theme of mouse and cheese....

Recently, Hubby like to take away beef burger from Wendy's.... I don't really like to eat beef burger... Luckily they serve baked potato as well.... It tastes good..... I love their baked potato with brocolli. So, for a change, I would make my own baked potato with cheese and brocolli...... in bento style of course.......

There... there..... My baked potato with brocolli and cheese..... First bake the potato in oven for 20 minutes. If you want to save time and electricity, you can boil it or steam it using microwave zip and steam bag. Boiling will take longer time, the best method is using zip and steam bag. Only 1.5 minute and voilà..... the bake potato is done.....

Then boil the brocolli.... or if you want it to look and taste fresh, you can just blanch it into hot boiling water and let it rest for a while then remove it from the pot. See how fresh and nutritious it looks..... :) 

To make the dish looks even more appetizing, I added flower-shaped carrots.... I used cookie cutter to shape the carrot. If you have a vegetable cutter, it works better. If not, a simple cookie cutter will do the job. Don't forget to slice the carrot thin and shape it with cookie cutter before you boil it.
