Muffin Tin Monday- Some of My Favorite Foods
Dear Mom,
Thank you for fixing me a meal with some of my favorite foods. Sometimes I look down and my muffin tin and want to add an extra sentence to my mealtime prayer. I would say something like, “Thank you God for this great food to eat. Mom made some of my favorites today.”
I just love your meatloaf. I don’t know if it is the tomato juice you add to it or the Italian breadcrumbs. It just tastes wonderful!
Sweet potato french fries are my favorite vegetable right now. I never seem to get enough on my plate. Dad doesn’t want to part with his when I ask him for some off his plate. We both just really like them. Could you make it more next time?
I didn’t think I was going to like the navy beans and yellow squash in my tin, but I did. I am glad you had me try new foods.
Blueberries are my favorite fruit right now. I ask for them at every meal and for snacks. Thank goodness you find them on sale and stock up on them.
Grape tomatoes are such fun to eat. They squirt seeds all over the inside of my mouth. Sometimes they squirt all over my shirt too. It is fun to bite into them and see what happens.
Love,
JDaniel
P.S. I would love to have chocolate fudge icing on my chocolate birthday cake. My friends will enjoy it too.

Very cute letter… Don’t you just wish they really would thank us for things like making them try new things? Maybe one day… :o)
Tima says
I love how he’s added a reminder about his birthday.

A great lunch. I make sweet potato fries for my boys.
cooperl788 says
This would be a dream lunch for Georgia too, though she probably wouldn’t say thanks for having her try new things. Is his birthday coming up soon? Are you going to have chocolate frosting on his cake?
Sugar Mama says
Too funny “Sometimes I look down and my muffin tin and want to add an extra sentence to my mealtime prayer”.
I’m sure my kids feel the same way at dinnertime some nights!

Too funny! I get extra “thank you’s” and “you’re the best mom” when I make favorite foods. Happy Birthday to JDaniel!
KLZ says
That all looks really yummy. Maybe I’ll have to ask for this for my birthday. Except one of mine would have cheescake.
Ludicrous Mama says
What a fun letter! I love seeing their perspective, even if it’s flavored by OUR perspective! 🙂

So cute! I just love that star muffin tin!

What a cute tin. I wish my little one would be as happy with her meals as JDaniel is. Instead my little one throws her food to the dogs.

Blueberries are one of my favourite fruits, too 🙂

I think if my kids had ever sent me a letter like that (or even thought of it) I would have keeled over in shock! ha!
Miss Elizabeth says
The muffin tin idea is so cute- I love looking through your blog at all the different things you put in them to eat!
Caren with a "C" says
Wow, I think I’m going to have to get a muffin pan that is fun as I have a 4yr and 6yr that do not eat well. Maybe this would do the trick!
