Muffin Tin Lunches

I read about this on Pinterest and in a couple of the blogs I’ve been reading forever, but I finally gave it a try! Muffin Tin Lunches!

The idea is that you put a bit of everything in a muffin tray and its kind of novel, so the kiddos try some new things. It also cuts down on the bordom factor of the Peanut butter sandwich. This one is Avery’s Lunch, hence the sippy cup! Almonds, blueberry yogurt, banana, cantelope, carrot, strawberries, cheese cubes, grapes, black beans, and rice puffs. For dessert, a chocolate quarter. I think the economy has been rough on everything because I thought I remembered having chocolate loonies when I was little.lol. The first thing she did was take a bit of chocolate and a bit of black beans. Those apparently dont go together as well as you’d think because they came back out again and we added a new category to our muffin tin – Mushy ChocoBeans!mmmm.

Emily did much better with her lunch and she was thrilled to have so many choices and so little sandwich. I think her favorite was the black beans and garden carrots.

Will I make this again for lunch…probably, but not until I forget that Avery ended lunch by throwing her tray on the floor and making a HUGE mess everywhere…
