The theme for Muffin Tin Monday is nests and birds. JDaniel’s first nest has a nest of cottage cheese surrounded by peaches. The second nest in raisins in a nest of quinoa salad (see recipe on last Thursday’s post). The third nest is vegetables in a nest of ham. The third nest is ranch dressing in a nest of cucumbers. Only one bird was in the meal. He was toast with shredded Mozzarella cheese.
The first thing JDaniel noticed was that there was an empty cup. He really wanted it filled to start the meal. I suggested he eat the meal and he would get to pick what we filled it with. He agreed with a little sigh.
Oh! If you get a chance, please check out my guest post on Quirky Mama’s blog. It is called Learning at the Grocery Store: Have a Color Hunt.
I adore your nests, and I will give the Quinoa salad a try. We love to eat Quinoa and Amaranth.

I really love these idea of the muffin cups…i am wondering if my little man would eat out of it.
Love the peaches and cottage cheese. LOL that he got bummed by the empty cup. When I can’t come up with anything else I just usually put a glass of water in the cup 😉
What a cute idea!! Love it!
Turned out great!
Great ideas for all the nests! I love it.

I love all your different nests, great idea. And that is so cute that he wanted all the cups filled. 🙂
You are such a creative mom! 🙂
You always have great tins. I’m feeling a little defeated .. jk
I LOVE Mondays now. :o)
Again, such a great muffin tin combination!!!
Great tin. I think the Buddha Bear would have been the same way about the empty cup.
These muffin tin meals are incredible. Your little one is very lucky. BTW – what did he pick for the empty spot? I’m off to visit your guest post. Way to go!
Yummm, peaches and cottage cheese are my fav! Great tin, love all the different nest ideas 🙂
Great lunch. The little sigh to the empty space is too sweet. BTW, my kids really like the chicken leg, especially cold. I just pay close attention to make sure they don’t bite too much or get in trouble with the bones.
