Today’s theme for Muffin Tin Muffin is Orange. JDaniel had carrots, two muffin cups of turkey wrapped in orange cheese, gold fish, left over beets from last week doctored up to look and taste better, and corn chips. He loved this meal!
Alison over at As is suggested adding applesauce to the beets to make them sweeter. What a great idea! It went over so well. I added food coloring to make it look orange and JDaniel had no idea that he was having beets.
We also listened to Ross Kingβs Words That Rhyme With Orange CD. I love his music. Here is a link to the review I wrote for the CD.
Amanda says
Very good idea listening to the CD too! I just realised I forgot to put the MTM badge on my post. Will do that now.

I think you chicks and your muffin tins are so cute! Everytime I see where someone has done one up I love it!
Mama to 3 Blessings says
That’s great that he ate the beets! Looks like a yummy MTM tray! π
The Activity Mom says
tricky! =) I need to try that.
Melissa: Mother to 3 Little Sprouts says
Anything I can do to get my little one to eat beets is a good with me! Thanks!
Alison says
Yay! he liked his beets! In Holland adding apple is the only way to eat them π
Kelly says
I like the way you wrapped the turkey. I’ll have to try that. My kids will eat cheese, but not turkey…

I love little trays like that for serving foods for my kids!
Jamie says
Great idea on the beets! I’m glad he enjoyed his meal.

We love beets around here! Adding applesauce is a great idea for nonbeet eaters though.

Love the turkey/cheese roll idea, and I really like how you tied the tin in with a cd…such a good idea!
MamaGames says
We listened to “Words That Rhyme With Orange” too! π
Jenny in Utah says
Super idea about the beets – we almost did beets last week for red, but then I chickened out – if only I had thought of applesauce! Anyhow – great tin – and great title! π (great minds think alike)

looks like a great meal!
Sandy says
Yum! I love beets!
Mirjam says
Fun orange foods. I find that just the muffin tin (something different than the usual) makes them more interested in the food.
Thanks for your comment on mine.

Great tin! I love how the turkey and cheese rolls came out. I will have to try the tip on the beets too.
