I haven't made a mini bento in sooo long, and you know how much I love minis! Just had the urge to make a mini bento today. Well, I picked up a pack of Mini Toasts and thought they would be so cute as a mini sandwich. Usually I make mini-er foods than this, but this is a nice scale to work with too.
On the toasted breads I put two circles of smoked ham, swiss cheese, some mini curly lettuce, a mini slice of avocado, and finally I sliced some grape tomatoes and lay them on top. Looking at it now, I think I should have squirted a squiggle of mustard right on top of the tomatoes. Next time.
I cut some mini carrot sticks to go along with this healthy "lunch" on a tofu "plate". The whole thing sits on top of a mini mandarin, with red grapes and strawberries surrounding. I added a tree of broccoli for color too. Here's a closeup view:
Isn't it cute?
Mini mini mini love ^_^!

ReplyDeleteWhere do you get those awesomely cute sandwich toothpicks? (the blue peace sign, pink hearts, and yellow chick)
ReplyDeleteThanks Angi!
ReplyDeleteMegan, I got these from Whole Foods near the deli/cracker section. Very cute, aren't they? :)
Thanks bentobird, that's sooo sweet of you!! Appreciate very much!!
Si Ying, I got the heart (and "peace"sign, which is actually two hearts on top of each other! I never saw it as a peace sign until just now!) picks from Daiso, and the chick pick as part of a whole family set from Ichiban Kan. Thanks!
I was just thinking you haven't made a mini in awhile....this is too adorable - and totally do-able for the rest of us who don't have your amazing mini skills. You don't realize how tiny it is until you see the Giant Strawberry. So cute. Hope you had a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Karina! Yeah, the strawberry does look pretty huge, great for scale! Hope your weekend was a fun and relaxing one too :)
