Good morning! Hope you all had a lovely 4th. My girls had this Muffin Tin Meal for dinner. Yep, looks just like what they eat for lunch.
Contents: Stonyfield yogurt tube cut in half, orange pepper, mini cheese ravioli, kiwi, Calbee Snapea Crisps, strawberries, peanut butter toast, string cheese, buttered toast sticks, turkey, Babybel cheese, rice cakes
I bought these mini forks at Uwajimaya over a year ago. I'm sure they are meant for bento boxes. They were a fun addition to the Muffin Tin.
My girls are still really enjoying these Muffin Tin Meals. I continue to have fun putting them together too. So far they haven't really expanded their diets as a result of these meals. I still have hope. How is is going for the rest of you?
My neighbor suggested taking picture of the Muffin Tin *after* it's been rummaged through by the kids. Thought that was a great idea. Didn't get a snap shot for this one however. Someone else suggested leaving a few of the muffin cups empty as the younger kids like to move the food items around (I forgot who's blog I read this on - sorry!!) If you have an idea for adding a twist to Muffin Tin Monday, please leave it in your comment. I'd love to hear from you.
I'll leave you with another plug to join our flickr group.

I love this, switching up the plain ol' PBJ! Do you have each child eat a whole muffin tin by themselves, or do they split it up amongst each other? It looks like a lot of food for my 2 year old to each by herself. I do have mini muffin tins I could use.
I joined in the fun today. Thanks for the great idea!

I do this too! I didn't realize anybody else did this. Now I don't feel so weird!
We played along today again!

We're up and posted! We did a Build-A-Bear Muffin Tin today! Super fun! I am just loving this idea. But how in the world do your tins always look so darn healthy and beautiful? I'm jealous! Wah! :)
I just posted O's muffin tin for this week! http://chasingcheerios.blogspot.com/

I did better this time!!
What a lovely idea!! My picky-icky eater may do well with this. Her older brother will for sure! thanks for the ideas
Oh, I love the little forks. I will get around to adding my own muffin-tin one of these Mondays, I swear!
What a darling idea!
We were at it again yesterday!
I didn't photo it but we've now done muffin tin meals twice in the past few days. My boys love it! It is a great way to get some variety into their diets. I used mini-muffin tins since my toddler doesn't eat a lot, and then give two scoops worth of each food item to my older son. They love it! Thanks for a brilliant idea!
Once again I love this idea!! I keep spreading the word! Here's what we came up with this week!

Since I only have one child old enough to eat "real" food I have to think of ways to not have too much excess. I have a mini muffin tin and I sliced his hot dog into enough to fill a bunch, then did little cheese slices in several, some fruit in a few more, and of course one for ketchup. He ate every bite!
I've got my muffin tin blogged! http://whatsheupto.blogspot.com/2008/07/ttt-mtm-4.html
I did this a while ago and put it on my private family blog! I love it! So I just joined your photo group on flickr. I did have photos of afterwards. It finally got my picky eater to eat and I love the idea!

I have been doing this for ages! I think I read it suggested in a early childhood curriculum book. I made a few for a child I nannied - and his parents thought I was nuts. Glad to know I was only ahead of my time! I think I'll join you next week!
we have joined too

This is SUCH a wonderful idea. I saw it on The Crafty Crow and tried it today. Was a HUGE hit with my son, who ate almost all of it, which was no mean feat because there was a lot of food there!!
I love this, I've posted about it today! Thanks for the great idea.
Well we are totally going to copy cat and do this too!
