Muffin Tin Monday

There is no theme for this week's MTM so Andy and I made...


Freshly squeezed orange juice, potato cakes with butter, hard boiled egg and cherry tomatoes.

Muffin Tin Monday (All About Me)

We made this week's MTM as Andy's morning snack cause we have left over homemade chicken pie from last night for lunch today. It's a super cute theme this week - All About Me. I bought this perfect four cup jumbo muffin tin. It's perfect for us because I found sometimes that too much of a variety in food groups for his muffin tin meal makes Andy's tummy a little sore or this four cup tin provides space for a drink and 3 themed foods.


Andy is as sweet as these Strawberries and Yogurt...


He is as talkative as this mouth implies :) We made the mouth by cutting a section out of an apple and inserting teeth gum sweets on the top and bottom.


And he 'almost always' resembles this smiley face... (made from half an orange and corn nuts)

This was such a lot of fun and Andy was super excited! To see what other fun MTM's were created today pop over.

Muffin Tin Monday (No Theme)

There's no theme for this week's MTM so we just had a normal lunch with the yummy addition of some honeycomb from my Dad (who is a bee keeper by hobby). Andy loves honeycomb and I served it cause our Tot School theme for this week is 'Winnie the Pooh and some bees'.

Cake pan from left: cheese cut into sticks, toasted sandwich, honeycomb, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes. And of coarse some extra honeycomb for dessert.

P.S. Sorry it's in a cake pan, I still haven't gotten round to getting Andy a proper muffin tin. Wrote it on my to do list right now so little chance of forgetting again.

Muffin Tin Monday (Children's Literature)

Seeing as we are busy with our 'Pancakes, Pancakes by Eric Carle' lapbook I decided to make it today's MTM theme. It is one of Andy's favourite books and of coarse Eric Carle is our favourite children's author. :)

In the book Jack wants a pancake for breakfast but his mother is busy and needs him to help her by going to collect all the ingredients from it's original source e.g. going to cut the wheat and take it to the miller to grind into flour.

So our MTM included milk (from the spotted cow), a egg - which I hard boiled (from the black hen), of coarse some pancakes, butter (Jack made from the cream scooped off the top of the fresh milk), stawberry jam (from the cellar) and cut up fresh strawberries (because it's much healthier than strawberry jam)...

Muffin Tin Monday (Apples)

I made this week's MTM in my new round cake tin cause my muffin tins are in a shocking state due to being a few years old so hopefully I'll remember this week to buy a new muffin tin for MTM uses. Anyway the theme for this week is 'Apples' but because our Tot School theme for this week is 'Farm Produce' I decided to make Andy's meal 'Apples and other farm produce'. We had so much fun cause as we made the pumpkin fritters we discussed how pumpkins grow and where we get them from and when I set up his meal we discussed each item and their relation to the farm and who/what produces them e.g. egg - chiken, cheese - milk - cow, apple - tree etc. We also baked some pinwheel biscuits this morning whose ingredients relate back once again to produce from the farm e.g. egg, flour etc.

So here's Andy's meal for today...

Hard boiled egg, biscuits, pumpkin fritter, apple, orange, cheese. He ate the whole meal and another biscuit besides. A healthy apitite after a long walk and a play in the park this morning. :)

Muffin Tin Monday (No Theme)

I made this week's MTM mid morning so that Andy can snack on it when he wants to. He has a bad cold and so likes to eat little bits at a time instead of one big meal. I tried to keep the food plain so as not to upset his tummy. Oatmeal cookies, pretzels, water, sandwiches cut into star and flower, cucumber sticks and carrot sticks.
