Muffin Tin Monday = Lunch served in a Muffin Tin

The concept is not new, I’m sure many of you have seen this out in the mommy world of play dates and preschool. It’s a great way to break the monotony of daily lunch preparation. I also hope it will encourage me
to keep offering new foods to my kids – maybe they’ll even like one of them!

So, I officially declare Monday as Muffin Tin Monday. Join me!

Each Monday I’ll post a picture of the previous week’s muffin tin. Send me a link to yours and I’ll add it to my post. Fun! Here is last week’s:

Contents:
Goldfish, blueberry bagel chunks, cucumber sticks, strawberry yogurt, Gorilla Munch cereal, blueberries, pretzels, string cheese, dried apricots, red pepper, cheddar cheese cubes, peaches.

This was too much food for 2 kids so I saved it and put it out again for afternoon snack.

Editors pick from Amy of doobleh-vay : Sycamore Stirrings is a great blog by Katy a rocking artsy and crafty Seattle mama of two! She has great ideas and this lunch in a muffin tin is so much more than just a new idea to get kids to try new foods, but a great nutrition lesson for yr preschoolers. I think each day could be a color or a food group lesson and it could be an excellent way to teach the food pyramid! I hope you will visit Katy and discover more cool ideas from this smart mama!
