Muffin Tin Monday: Farm

We had been making the Muffin Tin Meals, just a meal served in a muffin tin. I have been having fun with the themes and making the food fun. The kids eat a lot of their food than normal. This week I decided to do a farm theme. I knew I wanted to add a lot of fruits and vegetables and nothing needed to be done to them to fit the theme. Then I started thinking about adding some farm animals.
Top: baby chicken, sugar snap peas, "cow" pudding
Bottom: nectarine, pig, carrots

The baby chick is made from a hard boiled egg with a carrot beak and olive eyes. I gave the kids the top part also, Mackenzie had fun "hatching" the baby chick but she wanted to know where her mommy was.

Logan is showing off the pig. It is a piece of bread with ham and cheese. There is more ham and cheese hiding under the pig.
I made chocolate and vanilla pudding and attempted to make spots. There are also cow sprinkles added.

Both children go about eating their meals differently. Logan just dives right in and usually eats the treat first. Mackenzie spends time studying all the components and talking about what they are. She skips around and likes to save her treat for the end.

I love the pigs and the chick. It sounds like the chick had fun hatching over and over again.

wow...great ideas!

sounds like my kids - the oldest studies everything, eats one thing at a time, and the best for last...and the youngest, the best first, then skips around, and leaves whatever he doesn't like...
