I love Sundays. It is our "Family Day" where we all get dressed nicely and spend time together as family for church. After that, we go grocery shopping, head back home and play outside. While the kids are playing, I put the groceries away and load up a simple muffin tin lunch for the kiddies. Thanks Muffin Tin Mom!
The children enjoy a lovely variety of different foods. Food presentation is so important to them (and me!). I find that they do eat better and it is easier to introduce one new food at a time. Yesterday's lunch: carrot sticks, cucumber sticks, bacon Caesar dressing/dip, grapes, pita pizza, diced cheese sticks and imitation crab.
The wonderful thing: I had to reload the muffin pans 2 more times!
I lined the cavities with silicone muffin liners. I like that they help keep the non-stick finish intact, but it was a little tedious to wash all 12 of them afterwards. It was easy to do, but a little mind numbing.
They had a very nice picnic lunch in the family room. My best friend made this gorgeous "Under the Sea" quilt for my son when he was born and we used that as our special indoor picnic blanket. It was so cute to see the children gather around and enjoy lunch together on the weekends.
