Muffin Tin Monday...or whenever we like.

I'd seen this idea of muffin tin Monday all over the place. You've probably seen it too. I love it. So on and off I've been searching for these tins. Strangely enough I hadn't come across any and then I'd forget I was looking. Well, last week in Target I saw these cute little things in the 1$ section. The girls were immediately loving them as well. Sparkly purple silicone tins. A little flimsier than tin but they'll never rust and despite my skepticism, you can still bake with them. I don't know, but they certainly serve our purposes.




The girls eat so much better this way. Smaller portions and more variety. Or maybe its just different and fun. Wished all my meals looked this well balanced.
And lest you think I would dare waste the best part of a grilled cheese sandwich, you best think again my friend. Everyone wins.

Whoever thought of this idea originally was absolutely a genius. I agree-- my kids eat so much better when food is presented this way! No matter what I put in those tins, they'll eat it--salad, broccoli, dried fruit, whatever. I think it just looks so small and manageable to them.

Very cute grilled cheese, by the way!

Oh my how fun! Win, win for everyone. How I wish that I had been more creative with my kids. Thanks so much for sharing. I might have to invest in some tins for when grandkids come.
