Top Row: Fruit punch, raspberries, yogurt
Bottom Row: Strawberries, turkey and cheese sandwich shaped like what's supposed to be a ballet slipper, diamond ring and lipstick candy treats.
This was my free hand attempt at a ballet shoe, terrible. She ate the candy lipstick which she thought was a vampire finger and said it tasted funny. She decided to give me the diamond ring so I could save it somewhere special forever and ever.
I know this is not the best or most creative lunch, I am a little rusty. ;)

Penelope jumped up and down when she saw her lunch today. "You made smiley faces, you made smiley faces"!! I love that she is so easily impressed and excited.
Bottom Row: Ranch (for carrots), Salami and cheese smiley face sandwiches, purle-white-orange carrots
Time to head for dance class now! Check out some more muffin tins here.
Today we woke up to frost and a very cold morning. Time to start bundling up Penelope for school because it looks like our fall is just about over and winter is just around the corner. I decided to make Penelope a beach oasis in her muffin tin today because surprisingly, since I am not a beach person, that's where I wish I was today. I am not ready for snow yet!
Top Row: Yellow and orange pepper sun, ham and cheese crab sandwich on some granola sand, rainbow goldfish crackers.
Bottom Row: Cucumber seaweed with hummus sand for dipping, crab sticks, beach umbrella apple and peanut butter sand for dipping.

As much as I love to cook their are some days that I am just not feeling it, it's mostly when Chris is at work. Today was one of those days, but the little girl has to eat so I made her a very easy, no cook muffin tin meal for dinner today. Hey she got all the food groups! And besides she loved it...
Top Row: Cheerios (grain), Strawberries (fruit), Yogurt topped with Granola (dairy)
Bottom Row: Cucumber (vegetable), Peanut Butter & Jelly Star Sandwich (protein), and a sneak peak into tomorrow's Taste Me Tuesdays

Finally! OK, so I know I haven't contributed to Muffin Tin Monday's in a while. Muffin Tin Mom has stopped having official themes and I wasn't in creative mode today so this muffin tin has no theme. It was however our first on the go muffin tin. Penelope is now going to school Monday's and Wednesday's and eating lunch there on Monday's while I help out as lunch aid so I just wrapped some saran wrap around her the tin and she was able to enjoy MTM with her friends. Everyone was very impressed. ;)
Bottom: Crackers, Turkey with Cheddar cut outs, Cucumber hearts

Penelope will be three years old in just a couple of days. WOW! She is growing so fast...Today is day 1 of her 3 day Birthday celebration. :) This evening Chris and I are throwing a surprise party for. She is napping right now and has no idea. We decided to do this early since Chris is headed back up to work tomorrow evening. Tomorrow Penelope will celebrate with her classmates and cupcakes. Then on Wednesday her official Birthday I am going to take her out to lunch and then to the Toy Store so she can pick something out with the gift card they sent her. FUN FUN FUN!!!
Today's MTM theme was Favorites. I decided to fill Penelope's tin with some of the things she has been asking for a lot lately.
Bottom: Cucumber Hearts, Salami and Provolone Cheese Hearts on Crackers, Jelly Beans!
I think I did a good job picking some of her favorites because while she was eating she turned to me and said "mommy, you make the best food!" Awww :)
I also want to wish my wonderful husband a Happy Birthday! I love you and hope you enjoy your dinner tonight!

Bottom: Strawberries, Cold Cut Sandwich (her fave just like they make at subway but without the lettuce and olives), Apple chunks
Nothing exciting, I just scoured the kitchen trying to find stuff. I need to go grocery shopping. You can check out more tins here.
Top Row: Red/Strawberries, Orange/Oranges, Yellow/Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie (not really yellow, I know)
Bottom Row: Green/Grapes, Blue/Blue Jelly Bellys, Purple/Pizza (couldn't find anything purple so went for pizza instead!)
Today's Muffin Tin Monday theme was Blue/Purple. I found this theme a little difficult.
Top Row: POM Juice, Purple Goldfish and Basketball Crackers, Toast with Grape Jelly
Bottom Row: Blackberries, Beets, Cottage Cheese
I had a hard time trying to find things for this tin in my kitchen. The beets look red in the photo but you know if you have ever had beets they are more on the purple side. This was the first time Penelope had tried beets. She took a couple of bites of one asked what it was and then said "poo poo" :) she gobbled up everything else. I added cottage cheese to the tin because of the lack of appropriate foods and she loves cottage cheese. I was surprised that she enjoyed the POM juice since pomegranate juice is rather tart. She drank it up and asked for more.
This weeks Muffin Tin theme was green/St. Patrick's Day. I was very excited about this theme cause right away I thought of Pesto. Yum! We went to the park today at lunchtime and Penelope ate her lunch there so I made another dinner muffin tin for her. 
Top Row: Grapes, Spinach Veggie Chips, Bell Pepper Strips
Bottom Row: Caeser Salad, Tomato, Cheese and Basil Ravioli with Pesto Sauce, Ranch Dressing for dipping her bell pepper.
I was able to introduce Penelope to a couple of new things with this tin. She had bell pepper for the first time and really liked it, or maybe she really liked the Ranch. :p She also had pesto for the first time. She only had a couple of bites of the pasta but she gobbled up everything else. Funny, this little girl loves salad and Caeser salad is her favorite, must be the croutons.
