In honor of Veteran’s Day on Thursday JDaniel had an American flag lunch. I guess it should be called a silicone tray lunch this week rather than a muffin tin.
The tray contained a breadstick cut into fourths, the tops, and bottoms of meatballs (The centerpieces were removed and used in my lunch.), daps of tomato sauce for dipping, and apple stars. I usually do a better job of balancing JDaniel’s lunches with veggies and much less meat. After the fact, I thought cherry tomatoes or grapes would have been better than so many meatballs.
I will do better next week when the theme is the food pyramid.

That is so creative. I have never even thought to do creative things like this with the food that I serve my boys. You have totally given me some ideas on food activities that my boys would love…
that is fantastic. i bet your kids get so excited when they know what they are getting. and the food pyramid will be very interesting im sure.
Such a great idea! It looks wonderful! and suddenly I’m very hungry….
This is so cute! I love the idea of making meatballs for Georgia’s lunch – she would love eating something like that!
I always love muffin tin monday and this is really nice! Well done.
What a great idea! Island Boy would LOVE the apple stars. I’m not sure why I’ve never thought to take a cookie cutter to an apple before…
Beautifully done flag. I love it!
He’s a growing boy so he can handle all that meat! 🙂 Cute idea!
Really cut idea. And it’s so much more fun for the kids to each something like this, isn’t it?
Thanks for sharing.
You are such a clever rabbit~! Ben loves meatballs and of course ketchup… lots of it.
Ben loves apples especially when I drizzle carmel sauce on top of them and add a few chocolate chips. I chuckled when you wrote food pyramid.. Do boys/men really follow that? All my men like meat, meat,meat and more meat. They would make good dinasaurs..
Have a blessed day..ta ta for now from Iowa…annieptigger@aol.com

I’m sure his little body loved those meatballs!
How cute! I am not looking forward to next week’s… I am going to have to brush up on the food pyramid. I know things have changed since I was in school!

I like the meatballs! My kids can’t drink milk, so we’re always looking for ways to get protein in them. 🙂
Cute!
one of these days Im gonna do this! I think my boys would love it.
Love the flag, perfect for Veteran’s Day!

I hadn’t even thought of a Veteran’s Day theme. I just love that flag, so creative.
I think it looks positively YUMMY! Great job!
That’s really creative!!
I hadn’t thought to do a theme for Veteran’s Day. Love your flag! Great job! Kabobs w/ cherry tomatoes mixed in w/ the meat would be good.
How fun! Makes me want to eat lunch, too!
