That said, this week's Muffin Tin Meal theme is "favorite foods." Normally, macaroni and cheese would have been first on the list, but the kids had that last night, as Island Dad and I were out for a date.

| Top Row: Apple circles with cinnamon, grilled cheese sandwiches in the shape of a "J" and stars, chocolate pudding with star-shaped sprinkles. Bottom Row: Grilled cheese, "Number 4" egg (hard-boiled), raisins |
The name of the egg: We were visiting friends last winter when Island Boy was about 23 months old and just starting to recognize numbers, but not yet letters. These friends had a stash of hard-boiled eggs stored in their refrigerator for breakfasts. The hard-boiled eggs were marked, of course, with an "H" on the shell. Island Boy mistook the "H" for a number 4, and has thus been referring to them as "number 4 eggs" ever since. We haven't really bothered to correct him....
At any rate, he ate about half of everything, going (surprisingly) for the apple slices over the pudding as his first item. He liked it all, just was not in an eating-type mood today. The adults in the house have all been passing around a cold, and I suspect Island Boy may be dealing with the cold, as well. Looking forward to getting back into the swing of Muffin Tin Mondays again!
How did you make those apple circles? They look good!
ReplyDeleteI haven't made number 4 eggs in a while. They maybe on our lunch menu. The apples look yummy too.
ReplyDeleteI like the miniature grilled cheese sandwiches. What a fun way to serve them!
ReplyDeleteThe apple circles are just thin slices, peeled and then cored. The brown stripes are the cinnamon....I wish I had a good reason that that came out striped, but that's just how it fell onto the apple this time, lol!
ReplyDeleteI read this out to my daughter and she said "Yuuuum!" :o) I like all the stars. And hee hee - yeah, I thought the apples had been grilled or something, too!
ReplyDeletePudding would definitely be in my favorite muffin meal! Wink! Cute tin my dear!
ReplyDeleteI also thought they were grilled, or baked. I will try cutting an apple into circle slices, I think my daughter would love that. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteGrilled cheeses are one of my favorite foods too :-)
ReplyDeleteI thought they were baked too! What a yummy idea sprinkling with cinnamon - my kids would love that. Some of the best stuff is the simplest!
ReplyDeletelol...so many of these would also go into my favorite foods!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried cinnamon on apples! That's a far better option than caramel sauce! And less messy too! (She can't even drink hot cocoa without needing an outfit change. Caramel dip is even worse!)
ReplyDeleteI love the stars theme too!
I'm actually surprised I don't go through cinnamon faster than I do. We use a fair amount of it. Both kids also love it in scrambled eggs.
