MTM: Thankful for a Bedtime Snack

This week's Muffin Tin Monday was really more of a Muffin Tin TUESDAY for us!

The theme was "Foods That We are Thankful For".

For a Bedtime Snack I quickly filled a tin with several finger foods that I know the kids like. I even tried MTM kabobs for the first time with frilly toothpicks and set it all out in just one tin for a buffet-style. It was a huge hit! It only took a few seconds for them to divvy it all up and the tin to be empty!

This week our tin was filled with:

Top- Scrabble CheeseIt's, Buttered Bread

Middle- Pickles, Cheese Kabobs, Apple Slices, Mandarin Oranges

Bottom- Marshmallows, Weenies, Banana, Fruit Snacks

And Yes, that is Bat-Man scarfing down our Muffin Tin Meal! Please excuse the mess on the table. That's just the remnants of school today :)

Even KamKam got into the action this time!

Muffin Tin Monday: Fall/Halloween

Yep it's time for another week of Muffin Tin Monday! I was very excited about the Halloween & Fall theme.



This week I filled my muffin tins with:

top- frankenstein and ghost toast (colored with my new food markers), jack o lantern burgers (round turkey burgers topped with pumpkin faces that I cut using just a round glass and freehand faces), cheese-its, ghost lollipop

middle- leaf shaped cheese, macaroni, fall sprinkles (just for color and effect), mandarin oranges

bottom- more halloween sprinkles, candy corn, chocolate pudding with whipped cream ghosts, halloween shaped fruit snacks


This is so much fun! Time to start planning for the next theme: Outer Space!

Our First Muffin Tin Monday!

This being my first week to participate in Muffin Tin Monday I went for easy. This was a cinch since this week had no theme.

I grabbed my muffin tins (which were easy to find becuase hubby had just made some yummy apple muffins over the weekend). I opened up a couple of lunchables, added some extra cheeses, grapes, apple sauce and pickles. I topped if all off with some mini M&Ms and some apple pie bites from a McDonald's apple pie that I had in the fridge.

Super Easy and Super Fun!

Now I'm getting really excited about next week's Fall Harvest & Halloween theme! If you want to know more about MTM check out Her Cup Overfloweth or the MTM Flickr Group.
