Muffin Tin Meals

A couple of years ago, I found this blog post about fixing your children's meals in muffin tins. I tried it a couple of times, but had forgotten about it until last week.

Lunch time is always the hardest meal of the day for me. I am eating healthy things that my kids don't like (veggie burgers, usually) and I need to fix something for them and something for the baby. Three completely different meals at one meal time. When the kids started arguing that they wanted different meals, I remembered this trick and put it to the test. This time with older kids who actually had opinions.

The verdict: They LOVED it! Ate everything. Even the carrots! The next time lunch gets overwhelming for me, I will pull out our lovely muffin tin and go to work. It doesn't get easier (or more fun to eat!) than this!
