So I've been doing some reading online about blogging moms doing this "Muffin Tin Monday." From what I gather, most are stay at home moms... or really creative moms... or moms with more mom time on their hands than this mom! Most do these muffin tin meals around a theme and I find their creativity very inspiring!
However... being a mom of the "I don't have time to cook dinner" variety... but being a mom who prefers to feed her family at home than a constant diet of fast food or restaurant food... I came home from work today and decided to give the Muffin Tin thing a try.
The theme? Foods my kids will eat. One half of the tray is
Teagan's, the other is Zach's. They had
colby jack cheese, a deviled egg (Grandma made them yesterday), cheese-it crackers, fruit (watermelon and strawberries; inhaled before I could grab the camera), hot dog and ketchup.
Did they like it?
Hard to know- they were eating so fast that I couldn't get a good picture!

That is such a cute idea, Liz. I never did anything remotely creative like that. You're an awesome mom!
I'd just give them food I felt like preparing (if they were lucky) and tell them to eat it or go hungry. I think that's what most mom's did when I grew up and I'm nor-nor-nor-normal.
Isn't parenting fun? Oh wait.
Woohoo! Something new and gimmicky always works doesn't it?
Woohoo! I'm sure you noticed we did our first one yesterday, and it was a great hit! I think it's awesome that they will share a tray. Here Little Miss Sunshine would be running away with the tray, leaving her big sister behind with no food!
Great idea.
I can make one of these and bring it up to my office while I write
That's awesome! Love it!
I'm totally doing this tomorrow and then I'll take a picture and blog it too.
Fantastic idea!
I've been a little behind in blogging. WAY too obsessed with Liam's 3rd birthday... Now its over I have time to blog agian.
I LOVE your theme--a classic!
My parents were the same as Garret's: eat it, or...actually, there was no "or." And I grew up and married a chef! Who still makes me eat my vegetables, but somehow, brussels sprouts with brown butter sauce and roasted walnuts are much more inviting. Hmmm, wonder why?
I showed this post to my coworker, and she said the muffin tin was definitely "good parenting." She's already impressed by you, see?
