Memorial Day always makes me think of picnics though I am not sure I remember the last picnic I went on Memorial Day. JDaniel’s muffin tin today has some picnic foods along with attempts to get more veggies in his diet.
Hot dogs are a staple of summer cookouts and picnics so, JDaniel has a low sodium hot dog and a bun. He loves pickles right now and pickles are another picnic staple. (Pickles count as a vegetable at our house.) I found an amazing easy to make frozen yogurt recipe on No Time for Flashcards and used my star shaped muffin tin as a mold to make frozen strawberry yogurt stars. Baby tomatoes and wrinkled baby lima beans round out the tin.
The wrinkled limas were not touched and I don’t blame JDaniel they look pretty bad. The star went first.

Picnic foods at my house today too! My favorite picnic food is a black bean and corn salad – it is so incredible. The recipe is on my blog. I make it all the time in the summer months, when the tomatoes are good.
GREAT tin! Will definitely have to try the frozen yogurt!
Hope yall have a fantastic Memorial Day!
My favorite picnic food has to be barbecue chicken with potatoe salad and corn on the cob from the grill. Have a lovely day!

Love the star yogurt and the star in with the tomatoes!
A great tin, I think we will try the yogurt as well.
Today I’m making meatloaf, which seems un-memorial day-ish. I know what you mean about picnics…
