Lunch in a Muffin Tin

Thanks to my friend Dana and her fab Toddlerbrain blog, I tried something new the other day to maybe entice Oliver to try some veggies. Basically, you take a muffin tin and fill the spots with food choices. Lil man didn't quite know what to think, but he dove right into his favorites once he figured out what was going on. He DID try some veggies, so it was a success in my mind!







Oh, wait!!! IS HE EATING THE BROCCOLI TREES?!?!?!



Darn it! Little bugger just sucked the ranch off the broccoli and rejected the rest! Stinker!


The "before" shot, with all of his choices. Top: banana, hot dog, corn. Middle: goldfish, peas. Bottom: broccoli trees, chunks of cheese, cantaloupe, mixed veg in butter sauce



The "after" shot. Notice that the level of all things veggie is pretty much the same! Oh well, it was still fun to try, and I'm sure we'll be doing it again. Thanks again Dana!

Can't imagine any kid making a muffin tin look cuter! Ollie is just so adorable! Thanks for the TB shout-out ... glad the idea "worked" for you. I try to do this about once a week. The veggie eating is actually getting better :)

Let me know a weekend soon when you're not too busy and we can meet up at Kids Quest or something.
