Summertime treat

How about a bit of fun for a treat? I used the brownie pops pan from Wilton. After the brownies cooled, I made a disk of chocolate and sat one in each disk. Add a frosting top and a cookie straw and you've got a cute little treat!

I can't take all the credit though. Sweet Pea saw the picture and wanted to make them. Although, I don't recommend using wheat flour. It just doesn't taste right in brownies.

Breakfast muffin tin

It's amazing. I'm awake and I cooked breakfast. This morning we have croissants with Nutella, sausage, scrambled eggs, orange slices, pop tart crisps, and dried pineapple. I've finished my breakfast. So far, the sausage was a no, the pineapple was a no, the orange slices were a no, and they traded the eggs and croissants. But at least I tried, right?

Muffin Tin Meal #2

It looks as though muffin tin meals are a success! I was asked no less than two times this week, "can I have a muffin tin meal please?"

This week we had peanut butter and honey sandwiches, carrot sticks, pretzel sticks, peanut butter for dipping, goldfish crackers, chocolate chips, and a yogurt or jello.

(Please forgive my rotated picture. It's hard to edit on my phone.)

This post is part of Muffin Tin Meals, and is inspiring me to make kid friendly snacks/meals for my children.

Muffin Tin Meals

So I've been reading Muffin Tin Mom's blog for a while now. I've always thought the idea was really cute, but wasn't sure if I could devote the time, or if my children would be interested in it. Or maybe more specifically, if my oldest, Sweet Pea would be interested. That wonderful preteen age.....

Since she is a preteen, I decided to ask her opinion about it. Imagine my surprise when she acted THRILLED about it. When we got to talking about our first meal, she came up with the idea of a beach theme. This first time is Sweet Pea's. We have pretzel sticks, yogurt (with a beach umbrella), graham crackers that were supposed to be sand, yogurt raisin "rocks," goldfish, and turkey cheese tortilla roll-ups. Oh, and provolone cheese "starfish." :D

The second one is Little Bit's tin. The only difference is that I forgot about my hot dogs with Sweet Pea and made hot dog "octopuses."

I don't know what our second muffin tin meal will be, but I'm fairly sure the girls are looking forward to it. We already got picks and forks and cutters and ..... yeah, we're going to have fun. :D

Hugs,
