Muffin Tin Monday

It's Muffin Tin Monday!  We started our morning off with a muffin tin breakfast:

No theme really, just Elle's special requests for breakfast... cinnamon sugar toast, blueberries, cherries, fig newtons, and whipped cream for the fruit.  I didn't have much of a plan for this one at all, but while she was eating it she said "Mommy I really like how you put all the crunchy things in blue cups, all the sweet things in pink, and the fruits in yellow"... that's so Elle, always praising, always appreciative, and always looking for order :)

Muffin Tin Monday

I posted a month or so ago about my latest interest, bordering on obsession, bento box lunches. I was checking out some bento blogs and found Muffin Tin Mom who hosts Muffin Tin Mondays where Moms make lunches for their kiddos centered around a theme and served in muffin tins. I thought it would be a fun bento-ish style lunch I could do on the days I'm home with Elle, so today was our first muffin tin Monday. The theme was left overs.


sorry for the yucky picture... my camera battery was dead and I haven't perfected taking pictures with my precious yet.

She had leftover whole wheat penne sausage pasta & cinnamon raisen toast "grass", pretzel rod & string cheese "stems", leftover peas, tangerine sections, & ranch dip "flowers", and a baby carrot "butterfly". It was a huge hit!
