Muffin Tin Monday - Dr. Seuss

I know that Dr. Seuss was a MTM theme several weeks ago, but I didn't do it that week, and our theme for this week is Dr. Seuss in honor of his "birthday" this week.
 Here is our MTM for this week.  Starting in the upper left and going clockwise:  Green Eggs and Ham, avocado because D is not a fan of eggs and we don't eat ham; One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, an open faced strawberry jelly sandwich using a fish cookie cutter; Cat in the Hat, hat made out of bananas and strawberries; The Tooth Book, an apple mouth (I used cut apple instead of marshmallows); Ten Apples Up on Top, 10 pieces of cut up apple; The Foot Book, a muenster cheese foot using a foot cookie cutter.

D ate Cat's hat quite quickly, and then used her hands on the jelly on the fish.  When she realized her hands were sticky, that was the end of lunch.  I was quite surprised as she loves avocado and apples, and is normally a fan of peanut butter.  Granted she was rather tired today as we had to get up early to get Jolly Green Daddy to the airport.



On the other hand she did say "sticky" when she was not happy about her hands.  Oh well, better luck next week.

To see what other tots had for lunch today go to Muffin Tin Mom.  Next week's theme is Yellow.

Muffin Tin Monday - Apples

The theme this week for Muffin Tin Monday is apples.  What a great theme, especially leading into Rosh Hashanah at the end of the week.  After a busy morning, I wasn't sure what D would eat, but thought we would give it a try.  





I was getting lunch ready and wanted to a take a picture of the "apple" shaped grilled cheddar and apple sandwich.  (I believe it is really a pumpkin cookie cutter, but hey... D doesn't know).  




Here is the completed muffin tin.  The top row starts with apple sticks, then apple cinnamon rice cakes, and apple chunks.  The bottom row is Applesauce Noodle Kugel and the grilled cheese sandwich.


D enjoyed her Kugel and did a great job eating.  Eventually, she decided that the food would taste better on her tray.




And of course a meal is not complete, if we're not wearing it.









We also read Dr. Seuss's Ten Apples Up on Top! to go with our apple lunch.  D thought the pictures were funny and enjoyed the story during lunch.
