Muffin Tins

I thought I'd give the newly popular muffin tin snack/meal presentation a try with the boys. The portions end up about right for my trio, and if I serve it picnic style or on the kitchen footstool, cleanup is a cinch.

Row 1:
grapes,
pretzels,
peppers,
peanuts.

Row 2:
apples,
veggie
crackers,
cukes,
trail mix
bar.

Row 3: dried apricots, Tings, black olives, cashews.

Row 1:

pretzel
nuggets,
lettuce,
peanut
butter,
oranges.

Row 2:
Triscuits,
pickles,
sunflower
seeds,
raisins.

Row 3: cinnamon pita chips, green beans, edamame, cherry tomatoes.

I wouldn't do this every day, but it's a fun way to mix up the typical daily plate of table food at home. My next challenge will be to fill a 24 sized tart tin each with a different finger food!

Try this novel serving idea next time you're hosting a playdate. It's a great way for little hands to reach a variety of bite-sized foods.
