So, the theme this week for Muffin Tin Monday is Party/Celebration. I thought this was a good theme, since I was pretty happy that my son has had four days in a row of eating good. So, it was definitely a deserved celebration! I don't normally let him eat like this unless it's a special occasion, and I couldn't think of what to give him, so this probably doesn't look very creative. I was thinking cake and ice cream had to be in there somewhere, so I cut up some pound cake and put a scoop of vanilla ice cream with some sprinkles on it. Then, I was trying to think of what else we normally have at a party. Well, Chex Mix sometimes... little cubes of cheese... crackers or chips with dip... and many times we have fresh fruit to snack on. Then, after I filled up my muffin tin with all these yummy, but only semi-nutritious snacks, I thought about mini sandwiches, mini quiche, and mini sausages... yum! Some of those would have been a little bit more nutritious... at least in the "protein" department... Oh well! I'll be more creative next time. ;)
Needless to say... my son loved this! He ate almost all of it, except a few pieces of cheese and fruit. For some reason, he prefers his ice cream to be closer to room temperature, which got a little messy... But, it was fun for him! He loved using the toothpicks to pick up his food! He wanted seconds on the Chex Mix and the Cheez-Its, which surprised me... I thought he would be begging for more cake and ice cream! Apparently he's craving sodium this week...

Oh, and in case you were wondering... I did not give this to my son for breakfast! He actually ate this on Saturday evening. :)
Enjoy!

Love it! That's everything I would eat at a party. I never even thought of the cheese cubes.
I need to try this muffin tin thing. I keep seeing it everywhere. My kids totally eat like this, but I just put it all over a plate. this seems much cleaner.

thanks for your continued support!
Hey, if he would eat it for breakfast and nothing else I'd say go for it anyway! ;) Lots of fun and yummies in there!
Yummy! I'm now craving some pound cake topped with ice cream. I love seeing these muffin tin creations, they always look so delicious. Thanks for sharing!
Mmm, pound cake and ice cream. Delish! Great job. :)
Eating good for 4 days straight is cause for celebration in my book!
So YUMMY!! You could have just given the pound cake and ice cream and I'd have been satisfied:-)!!
This is a great idea! I wonder if I can use the same creativity for veggies for my sassy daughter. Hmm...
Looks nutritious enough to me!
great job, it looks delicious!
Congratulations on being #1 on Sits!
