I saw this idea on another blog and put it on my list of fun things to do. Dinner was looking pretty skimpy last night, so I figured jazzing it up in a muffin tin would go a long way.
Here we have grapes, cantelope, grilled chicken and mini bagels with cream cheese. Not exactly a well balanced meal, but when Ryan is out of town the kids are lucky they even get fed. seriously.
I thought they would complain about the chicken, but they snarfed it down without even asking to dip it in ranch. Amazing! Give them a small weapon instead of a fork and throw the food in a rusty old muffin tin and miracles happen.
Brinley is heading for Drew’s “campelope,” Drew was sure to redirect her to her side of the tin.
That bagel must taste like a little slice of heaven. Drew is trying to figure out which morsel of goodness to stab next. mmmmmmm.
I think this is borderline “playing your food” but they ate it all, so I’m a happy mama!
What a great idea! I’m going to have to try that. My kids are fond of “toothpick” lunches – anything tastes better if you get to stab it with a toothpick.
