Valentines Day Muffin Tin Monday

Happy Muffin Tin Monday. We haven't done a muffin tin meal in awhile now, but with today being Valentines day I figured it was a perfect time to start up again.
Bekah had her breakfast in a heart shape muffin tin. She had:
Life Cereal (her current favorite), heart shaped banana pieces, & strawberry yogurt with valentines sprinkles.

Muffin Tin Monday - Green

Happy Monday! Today's Muffin Tin theme is Green. I had a really hard time thinking of green food (that Bekah would eat). Now don't get me wrong. She loves peas, green beans, and broccoli....but I didn't have any of those things on had. I had green peppers and celery, which she refuses to eat! So, this is what I came up with:
Shamrock shaped American cheese, green salad with ranch dressing, marshmallows and stars cereal (a knock off of Lucky Charms), pears (hey, the skin was green!), and Thin Mint cookies (mint is green, isn't it?).



Can you tell she's been into the cookies?!

Muffin Tin Monday - Yellow

We have been enjoying some sunny weather and it has made us so happy! I was so excited that the muffin tin Monday theme color was yellow because what color is happier than yellow!

Bekah had her muffin tin for breakfast this morning. She had:

Yellow smiley face pancakes with syrup, pineapple, banana slices, and milk.

I made the pancakes with yellow food coloring. I took a little bit of pancake mix out and colored that with blue food coloring for the eyes and smile.

Muffin Tin Monday - Think Spirng!

After a weekend of snow, snow, and more snow, we were thinking Spring. So, even though there was no theme for today's muffin tin we did a flower theme. Bekah loved it and had:

A flower shaped grilled cheese, vanilla oreos, strawberry yogurt, and strawberries. Yumm! She ate every bite!

Muffin Tin Monday - Orange

Today we are back to Muffin Tin Monday. Last week Bekah was sick, so we missed that, but are back into the groove today.
I'm busy cleaning and sorting through toys, so lunch was very simple. Bekah had:

Arthur mac and cheese, baby carrots, orange segments, and orange juicy juice. Yummy! She hasn't had mac and cheese in awhile, so she really enjoyed that!

Muffin Tin Monday - Hearts and a Craft

This week we're doing H is for hearts, so we did a heart shape muffin tin.

In Bekah's muffin tin, she had:
Grilled Cheese hearts, spinach salad with heart cucumber and homemade poppy seed dressing, heart salami, heart strawberries, and heart doughnut (from Krispy Kreme).

I was surprised that she had two bites of the doughnut and then was done with that. She loved the grilled cheese and the heart shaped strawberries the best!

To go along with our heart muffin tin we made a heart shaped guy. He turned out very cute and was simple to put together.
I drew a heart shape on the inside part of an old cereal box and Bekah went to town painting him red.

She also painted herself red!

Bekah then glued on the eyes and drew a mouth.

Then we used strips of red construction paper folded like an acordian for the arms and legs.

MuffinTin Monday - Shapes

Happy Monday! For today's Muffin Tin Monday, the theme is Dr. Seuss. As you can see, we didn't go with the theme today. Instead, we did a shape muffin tin. Bekah really loved her lunch and we got to use her snowflake muffin tin for probably the last time this year.


In her tin, she had, square cheese nip crackers, circle peanut butter and jelly sushi (see how to make this below), American cheese triangles, semi-circle tomatoes, a round orange, and a rectangle brownie. I made these brownies the other night and they were THE BEST. We got the recipe from Cooking During Stolen Moments. They are seriously the best brownies I have ever had!

To make the peanut butter and jelly sushi -
Cut the crust off of one piece of bread.
Roll the bread out using a rolling pin.
spread with peanut butter and jelly.
Roll the bread up and cut into pieces.
Enjoy!

Muffin Tin Monday ABC's and 123's

A - applesauce
B - bananas
C - cupcake (which I removed until after she ate some "real" food.
1 - 1 juice
2 - 2 homemade ham and cheese hot pockets (these are delicious, by the way. You can get the recipe from Our Best Bites.

Muffin Tin Monday

Happy Muffin Tin Monday. Today's theme was Back to school/learning. Bekah had her muffin tin for breakfast since breakfast is brain food.

I was so excited to use these new funny feet muffin cups. I picked these up at AC Moore this past week. I've admired them on other blogs and couldn't wait for Bekah to see them.



She was so excited for her muffin tin breakfast. She had:
Scrambled Eggs, ketchup, strawberries and blueberries, and teddy bear toast. Yummm!

Muffin Tin Monday - Merry Christmas!

We missed muffin tin Monday last week, so we were excited to get back to it today. Today's theme was Christmas. In Bekah's muffin tin, she had:
mini-hot dogs, ketchup, snowflake ritz crackers, grape tomatoes, cheese stars, a Christmas cookie, and yogurt with Christmas sprinkles.

Needless to say, I had to take out the cookie before giving it to her. If I hadn't, she would have eaten the cookie and said, "I'm full!" Hope you're all having a wonderful Christmas season!

Muffin Tin Monday - Christmas Breakfast

I must say, this was such a fun muffin tin meal to plan for. I had seen this idea for pancakes over at Ramblings of a Crazy Woman. I thought it would be a great way to do breakfast this morning.

I made three pancakes (small, medium, and large) and gave Bekah all the parts to make her snowman.



We used blueberries for the eyes, blackberries for the hat, pretzel sticks for the arms, chocolate chips for the mouth, mini m&m's for the buttons, and mini marshmallows as some snowballs.


She had to say "Let it snow!" for me to put the whipped cream on the pancakes and make them into a snowman.


Then she went to town decorating him. She really just wanted to dive into the chocolate chips, so mommy had to "help" her with decorating the snowman. He turned out cute, don't you think?


She loved this and I really enjoyed making a "Christmas morning" breakfast for her. We usually eat over at my sisters house on Christmas morning, so this was a special treat for us!

Muffin Tin Monday - Thanksgiving

We're back to Muffin Tin Monday after a break last week. Yesterday we had Thanksgiving dinner at my mother-in-law's house, so I thought we'd have some leftover turkey today. Bekah had:
turkey with gravy, smile snacks (because being thankful makes us happy!), apple slices with homemade caramel sauce (love this stuff!), and a cheese turkey.


Here's a little funny fact: Bekah is not a big meat eater, so we call chicken or turkey "dinosaur meat" and she eats it! She loves her "dinosaur meat!" Isn't that funny!

She was so happy to see her muffin tin meal!

Muffin Tin Monday - Letter K

Today we're starting to learn about the letter K, so our Muffin Tin Monday lunch focused on that.

Bekah had ham and cheese kabobs, kiwi and grape kabobs, and Keebler Elf cookies (I know, this one was a stretch!)

The weather is so warm here, so we were able to enjoy a picnic outside.

Happy Monday!

Fall/Halloween Muffin Tin

Today's theme for Muffin Tin Monday is Fall Harvest/Halloween. Bekah really enjoyed this muffin tin! Here's what she had:
Peanut Butter cracker made into a pumpkin face, roasted pumpkin seeds, ghost cheese, ghost hardboiled egg, peach yogurt with Halloween sprinkles, and an orange juice box.

I used food markers to make the face on the egg and to make the cracker orange for a pumpkin.

Muffin Tin Monday

"It's Muffin Tin Monday!!!" That's what my daughter exclaimed this afternoon. She was so happy to see me get a muffin tin out of the cabinet. I think I could serve anything in that silly tin and she would love it.
Today there was no theme for muffin tin Monday. So, Bekah had:


Wacky Mac and Cheese, pea pods and grape tomatoes, apples and caramel dipping sauce, and teddy grahams. Yum!

Muffin Tin Monday - Kabobs - kinda!

Last night at 10:00 PM I suddenly remembered Muffin Tin Monday was today. I hadn't planned at all...whoops! So, this is what happens when mommy doesn't plan. I just threw whatever we had in some cute muffin liners and put together a fruit kabob (to go with the theme), and voila - Muffin tin Monday! You know what I found? Bekah loved it anyway! She has really come to look forward to Muffin Tin Monday. You can learn more about Muffin Tin Monday and what others are doing over at Her Cup Overfloweth. Here's what Bekah had today:

Fruit kabob with strawberries, grapes, and bananas, marshmallow fruit dip (this was yummy!), and chicken nuggets with ketchup.

I have to say, Bekah loved the football picks. I found these at our Christmas Tree Shop cheap! I'm finding that it's smart to always keep your eyes open for good deals on muffin tin "accessories".

Happy Monday.

Muffin Tin Monday - All About Me

Todays Muffin Tin theme is All About Me. I included some of Bekah's favorite foods in this muffin tin and she is really enjoying it as I type!
In Bekah's tin:
grilled cheese violin (she loves playing on Daddy's violin), grilled cheese snowflakes (her favorite holiday is Christmas), Dora yogurt (she loves yogurt), mandarin oranges (her favorite fruit and her favorite color is orange - well, that changes on occasion, but for now it's orange), milk (Bekah is never far from her milk cup!), and 3 m&m's (she's 3 years old and LOVES m&m's).

Poky Little Puppy Muffin Tin

Happy Muffin Tin Monday! I had something totally different planned for today's muffin tin. Then, while Bekah was playing with her stuffed animals she said, "They're eating a Poky Little Puppy muffin tin." Well, I knew I HAD TO make her a Poky Little Puppy muffin tin after that comment. So, I racked my brain for ideas. She's been addicted to the Poky Little Puppy movie we got from the library, so I went off that for my ideas. This is what I came up with:
A dog bone shaped egg salad sandwich (Bekah didn't like this, so I ended up making a cheese one), cherry tomato "beach balls", bunny crackers (like the bunny Poky plays with), dirt cake with "squirmy wormies", and milk to drink.

Other than the egg sandwich (hey, a mom can try, right?!) Bekah loved her lunch. It was such a fun muffin tin.

Pinkalicious Muffin Tin Monday

Happy Monday! Today is not only Muffin Tin Monday, it's also my birthday! I was excited to see that the theme for today at Her Cup Overfloweth was children's literature. I love children's books! One book I've heard a lot about lately has been Pinkalicious by Victoria and Elizabeth Kann. As soon as I got it from the library last Thursday I knew this was the book we would do our muffin tin on.


In her muffin tin, Bekah had, a plain bagel with strawberry cream cheese, pea pods (in the book, the little girl turns pink from eating all the pink cupcakes and has to eat green food to turn back to normal), a pink egg (made by soaking a hardboiled egg in beet juice), a pink cupcake (of course), strawberry applesauce, raspberry kabobs, and raspberry lemonade.

Here's my silly girl sticking her peapods into the applesauce!


And, as for my birthday, here's my present from Bekah. She picked it out with Grandma! Haha, our dog thought the piggies were toys for her! She kept chasing my feet!
