Muffin Tin Monday: St. Patrick's Day Rainbows

It has become a tradition in our house, to have a rainbow muffin tin for St. Patrick's Day. I had contemplated doing something different, until I realized how excited Tabitha was as she was awaiting her tin. 

They had:

White clouds made up of Ranch dressing, cauliflower and shredded Mozzarella cheese

Pot of gold coins

Then, starting at the bottom left corner we work our way through the colors of the rainbow.

Red Grape Tomatoes and Red Pepper

Orange Mini Carrots, Apricots and Pepper

Yellow Corn, Scrambled Eggs and Pepper

Green Romaine Lettuce, Snap Peas and Pepper

Blueberries and Purple Grapes

As we only have 2 12 compartment tins, I had to give Hannah her meal in two tins placed side by side.

Harold got the mini tin I used for Hannah last year. 

He had:

White shredded mozzarella clouds

1 gold coin

Red (sort of) BBQ Vienna sausages

Orange goldfish

Yellow scrambled eggs

Green Beans 

Blueberries

The girls loved getting the gold coins again.

Of course they did, it is chocolate after all.

The girls also colored rainbows as a conclusion to our weeks of color projects.

And they added a shamrock.

Oh, mommy had a rainbow lunch too. 

Isn't this a colorful salad? Yummy.

Muffin Tin Monday: Our Color Tins 2013 continue: Orange

It is that time of year again, the time of year where we focus on 1 color of the rainbow per muffin tin until we reach St. Patrick's Day and have our Rainbow Tin. Last year we had the muffin tins closer together, this year we will be having 2 tins a week (on Monday and Thursday). Here is this year's Orange Muffin Tin (we had them last week):

The girls had:

Orange bell peppers

Hummus

Fish sticks

Cheese Nips

Peach yogurt

Mandarin oranges

and

Silk Fruit & Protein Mango Peach Drink

Harold had Cheese Nips, Fish Sticks and Mandarin Oranges, all cut up into bite sized pieces.

Stay tuned for our other color muffin tins as we make our way to St. Patrick's Day! We will be having our Yellow Muffin Tin later this week.

Muffin Tin Monday: The Start of our Color Tins 2013: Red

It is that time of year again, the time of year where we focus on 1 color of the rainbow per muffin tin until we reach St. Patrick's Day and have our Rainbow Tin. Last year we had the muffin tins closer together, this year we will be having 2 tins a week (on Monday and Thursday). Here is this year's Red Muffin Tin (very similar to last year's):

Strawberry Jello

Pepperoni Bites

Red pepper strips

Grape Tomatoes

Sliced Strawberries

Strawberry Yogurt

And Harold had Peanut butter and apple butter sandwich bites, chopped strawberries, fruit bites and green beans. He also had yogurt and Jello, but I fed them to him from a separate cup. He didn't really like the Jello though.

I am so glad the girls still enjoy getting muffin tins. 

Stay tuned for our other color muffin tins as we make our way to St. Patrick's Day!

Muffin Tin Monday: Green

Well, I was able to plan my color muffin tins so the green tin would correspond with the green theme over at Muffin Tin Mom.

We had:

Green Eggs

Mashed avocado

Green pepper and broccoli

Romaine lettuce

Green Grapes

Lime Jello

Toast with green sugar crystals

(I was going to make the sugar in the shape of a shamrock, but it was a last minute idea and I could not get it ready in time.

And I surprised them with some green mint milk that I made by adding sugar and mint extract. Unfortunately they didn't really like it.

The above picture came about because of the way Hannah was eating her toast. Mommy forgot to cot the toast.

I kept dessert in the kitchen until they were ready.

Amelia pretended her's was a ice cream cone.

Hannah ate the frosting.

Tabitha made a heart.
