Muffin Tin Monday- Valentine’s Day

By

 

We have been sick at our house for about a week with head and chest colds. I first noticed JDaniel coughing a week ago Saturday. We kept him home from church on Sunday and playgroup on Monday. I knew he was really sick on Monday at lunchtime when he ate two pancakes and a marshmallow for this lunch and announced he was done.

He was so excited about making the meal. The tin was based on a book about a special grandfather and grandson and the fun they have together called Lucky Pennies and Hot Chocolate by Carol Diggory Shields.

The grandfather in this book looks a lot like JDaniel’s GranDan. GranDan, my husband’s father, died last February. The grandfather in this book does so many of the things GranDan would have loved to do with JDaniel. They tell knock-knock jokes, visit construction sites, play with trains, wash dishes (The men in my family love to wash dishes.) and so much more.

One of the things more is making pancakes with raisins, bananas, and marshmallows. I decided we would try them out and see how they tasted. The marshmallows got all gooey and icky. JDaniel wasn’t interested in tasting that pancake.

I made pancakes without marshmallows and place them in the muffin tin with syrup, marshmallows not in pancakes, scrambled eggs, and berry applesauce. As I mentioned above he ate the pancakes without marshmallows and a marshmallow.

After taking a three-hour nap, JDaniel asked if he could have the scrambled eggs for a snack. I decided to give him something light instead. He got scrambled eggs for lunch later in the week.

 

 

Are you having a special Valentine’s Day meal today?

  1. I can’t believe the men in your life like to wash dishes!
    I hope your family is feeling better soon.

  4. What a sweet idea and the book looks like alot of fun to read! Thanks for sharing these ideas!

    not sure what we are having tonight, might cheese out and get Bone Fish take out

  5. I hope he gets to feeling better. R and I have been very sick here lately with a cough and whatnot. He is barely eating, and I must confess to not eating at all. Its been awful. I hope you dont get it as well!

  6. I like that lunch you made, and I can see where pancakes with marshmallows would just be a giant mess.

  8. I am going to go and get heart shaped pizzas at the u-bake pizza place tonight. The kids love those! Happy Valentine’s Day girl!

  10. HI! What a sweet meal and book! I love incorporating a book with lunch and that book seems really sweet and a great way to remember the love of his grandfather. I hope your son feels much better soon!

  13. Sorry to hear your little man isn’t feeling well. I have a recovering sicky on my hands as well, and our meal wasn’t touched much either. Anyways, your tin and story are adorable!

  14. That book sounds adorable. And of course, you have a heart shaped tin!

    Just a thought, you should do a “Guess what’s in the tin” monday, because whenever I see your pic, I try to guess what’s in it before I read your post. I can never get it all right! 🙂

  17. Again- love how you incorporate your meals along with a book you are reading.

    Hope everyone is feeling better. I know how awful that is!

  19. I love the muffin tin lunch idea – I just haven’t found four cute ones for a decent price yet! Hope the little man feels better soon!

  20. Ooooh I’m so sorry your JDaniel is so sick! Your story sounds like what’s going on over here..coughs and little appetites. Not fun for them and it’s hard on us to see them so sick. I do pray he’ll be better soon!
