When Muffin Tin Meals Go Wrong

This weeks Muffin Tin Meal theme was “Patriotic.” And since I’ve spent most of my life celebrating the 4th of July and only this year and last celebrating Canada Day I decided to go with a Canadian theme rather than a US theme. But…things didn’t work out so well.

I was going to make French toast shaped like maple leaves. But we were out of bread. So I tried doing maple leaf pieces of tortilla to dip in tzatziki sauce. I tried to make it red…but red food coloring and white sauce = pink. And tortillas don’t cut into shapes as nicely as bread does. {sigh}

The rest of the MTM consisted of plain yogurt sweetened with {Canadian} maple syrup and died red pink to make a Canadian flag, red cherries, and red fruit punch. It didn’t go as well as I hoped. Fortunately it was just for me so I’ve got no disappointed kiddos!

Check out the original post to see some truly amazing MTM’s. I looooove the one the Masked Mommy made!

Muffin Tin Monday

I love Michelle's (of Her Cup Overfloweth) "Muffin Tin Monday" posts. I think muffin tin meals are adorable and I've been wanting to do one...except that a muffin tin meal for Lucy would just be a muffin tin filled with breast milk. And I think it'd be easier for her to get her meal on tap. But nowhere does it say that a grown adult can't act like a kid and enjoy a muffin tin meal of her own. And that's exactly what I did.

water (in Ikea cup), red bell peppers, no-sugar added "Country Berry" applesauce, a banana, a veggie sandwich (lettuce, cucmber, tomato, cheese, mustard, and miracle whip on whole wheat), an apple, honey nuts (and a multivitamin), and dark chocolate covered espresso beans

It ended up being a lot more food than I realized. It was the biggest lunch I've had in a long time. And it was awesome! I ended up eating on the couch because Lucy wanted lunch too. I often end up trying to balance a plate over her in those situations. This worked much better because the muffin tin was spill resistent and I felt safe just sitting it next to us on the couch. I may have to make a habit of muffin tin meals for that very reason. I look forward to doing my first themed meal (upcoming themes can be found on Michelle's blog). If you have kids, or just are a big kid, I reccomend giving muffin tin meals a try!
