Muffin Tin Monday: Columbus Day

Well, aren't I turning into the rebellious one.  This week's theme was supposed to be pumpkins. Unfortunately I didn't have everything ready and available to make it.  I opted instead to wait until the Halloween week to do my pumpkin theme (as we don't celebrate Halloween) and today decided to do a Columbus Day theme.

The Nina- deviled egg with paper sail

The Pinta- boat shaped pb&j with american cheese sail

The Santa Maria- Corn Dog boat with cheddar cheese sail

Marshmallow clouds and

Blue Jello sea with a Swedish Fish

(Because I told the girls when the sailors were crossing the ocean all

they would have seen is sky and sea, sky and sea, etc.)

Cheese compass (compass was daddy's idea), 

the pointer is a sliver of carrot and there are extra behind the compass.  The directional letters are painted on with a toothpick and food coloring.

Unfortunately they were more interested in playing in it.
Especially the Jello and egg yolk.
Here Tabitha is making the egg boat sail in the Jello.

The girls helped make the Jello and I was going to have them help with the deviled eggs, but they went off to play.
