I am trying my second week of Muffin Tin Mondays. This weeks theme is supposed to be clowns, but they give me the "heebidy-jeebidys". We have been reading
Chicka chicka boom boom, so I decided to go with the palm tree & alphabet theme. I made the classic palm tree with celery and peanut butter and cocoa puffs for coconuts. He wanted a hot dog (although that wasn't the original plan), but I made it look sort-of like a coconut tree, grapes for more coconuts and chips for palm leaves (use your imagination Luke...). As you can see the alphabet was not incorporated...I was extremely sick this weekend and didn't get to the store to buy the alpha-bits cereal I was going to use...oh well!
Update: he ate everything except the celery palm tree...humph! Anyway, I've been told by childhood nutrition experts that my job as a mother is to put it on his plate, his job is to choose to eat it or not. He might not eat it the 1st time or the 20th time, but eventually he might! I worked with salad, so maybe celery will be next. See you next week for another Muffin Tin Monday.

my hubby doesn't like clowns either.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, my daughter just started eating and LOVING broccoli after refusing to eat it for a year.
B is really into chicka chicka boom boom too right now. Super cute meal!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't like clowns either. They freak me out! Great job creating a MTM with Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!
ReplyDeleteI really like this muffin tin idea! When my hubby and I have kids (a couple years down the line, God-willing), I think this would be so fun to do! Although, given my husband's inner child, I think he might just be a big fan of these, too! I'm excited to see what your next one will be :)
