JDaniel and I had fun tracking down blue and purple foods. BiLo had purple cauliflower on special this week and we found the purple potatoes from Peru at Whole Foods.
His tin contained blue tortilla chips, blueberries, purple potatoes (They are boiled in the picture above. I later mashed them.), meatloaf (non-purple meatloaf), a blueberry muffin and a little of the purple cauliflower. I was shocked when he asked for more potatoes and cauliflower. I wasn’t shocked that he wanted more of the muffin.

I was trying to guess what the items were in your tin before I scrolled down. The meatloaf and the purple cauliflower had me baffled! 🙂 What a great tin.
what a great idea coloring the califlower blue, great way to disguise!
We tried purple cauliflower from our farmer’s market last year. Unfortunately, they didn’t really like it. Very clever idea to put it with mashed potatoes! I’ll have to give it a try.
I have never heard of purple cauliflower OR purple potatoes!!! How fun is that? Love it!
Awesome! I have never heard of purple cauliflower or potatoes! I will be looking for them now!
You did a great job. I didn’t do MTM today because I didn’t want to have to dye all of my food. Fun for your little guy to have purple potatoes and cauliflower!
Cool foods! I would have loved to see some blue meatloaf though. LOL 🙂
That is awesome that he asked for more. Yummmmmm! Looks great!
Wow you found some really fun (real) purple foods! I will have to look for them :0)
What a neat idea!
We did blueberry muffins too! I never knew about purple potato’s or cauliflower!
i looked for purple potatoes. no luck. but i’ve never seen purple cauliflower! nice!
Cool find on the purple potatoes and cauliflower! Very fun tin.
We did the purple potatoes too (unfortunately my girl didn’t eat them) but I’m super impressed by that purple cauliflower.
Great tin.
Such a creative mommy! I’m very impressed!
Great tin, I’m still confused about the blue corn chips,we don’t get those here.
I’ve never seen purple potatoes before. looks yummy.
YOu always come up with the greatest ideas! I think my older boys would balk at eating ANYTHING purple – LOL! However, I think my little guys would laugh and give it a try! Purple Potatoes! That makes me want to laugh. I bet you had a wonderful, laugh-filled lunch!
Very creative! I love it! And, it’s great that your little one is such a great eater!
great ideas, thanks for sharing!
You know I tried this muffin tin idea the other day and you know what #3 did? Dumped it out and ate it off of the counter, exactly like when I put it on a plate. I think I should maybe just go ahead and serve his food on the counter.
We had orange cauliflower for the first time last week and it was so good – the kids loved it. Now we will have to find the purple. And those potatoes, too! LOVE IT!
that looks so weird^^
That’s awesome! These purple foods would go over really great here in Washington State. Our University of Washington Huskies are purple and gold, so those purple potatoes combined with something gold (perhaps squash) would be a great post game meal. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
