We met some friends at The Upstate Children’s Museum last Wednesday and I decided to pack JDaniel a muffin tin picnic meal.
He had apples, apple juice, potato salad with bacon and tomatoes, Arnold’s Mini Thin sandwiches, and a pickle. He was dying to dig in and eat it before left home, but I was able to convince him to wait.
We are loving the Arnold’s Mini Thins. JDaniel is always telling me that he is still hungry. Now he can have two sandwiches and that seems to fill him up.
I was planning on having our picnic in the bug sculpture garden at the front of the museum, but JDaniel’s friend Ryan was already starting his picnic lunch on the side of the building when we got there. He unwrapped the muffin in and starting eating. I tucked the toaster baking pan I carried it on into my purse and then I ate my lunch too.
JDaniel was so happy to have lunch. He really didn’t care where he ate it.

cute! have you managed to convert his friend into a MTD kid?
I love the picture of the boys sitting side by side!!
Cute! Well done on a successful Mobile Muffin Tin! Not sure I’d be brave enough to try that, but it looks like it was a hit!
How did you transport it? Did you just cover with foil and take, or was each piece individually packed? Cute to do a picnic.
Your sweet little man is getting so big. It is fun to see him eating with his friend. And your potato salad sure sounds yummy!
I’ve never heard of Arnold’s mini thins – did I miss a post on them? They look yummy.
Oh, they are so cute together!
I haven’t seen the mini thins, but I love the regular ones. I use them for pizzas too! I love that you took a muffin tin for a picnic. I tend to do bento boxes.
Looks like a perfect and cute lunch. And what better way to have it? Spending time with friends! FUN! :>
Fun lunch! I love the picture of JDaniel and his buddy. My kids LOVE picnic lunches. We do them a ton in the summer. My daughter likes to say, “I”m still hungry.” right after a huge meal!. 🙂
So cute! Great idea. Now that’s a lunch no kid will want to trade. 🙂
Cute!!!!
lunch sounded great too! 🙂
i never thought of making a muffin tin meal into an away picnic meal ~ thanks for the idea 🙂
I am hoping to do a Muffin Tin Picnic in the park before the end of the summer. I think the girls would love it. What a fun lunch :0)

I love how fun you make lunch for your child. I’m sure he never gets bored which is key!
i want that potato salad recipe! yum!!

Cute! I always forget about the bread thins. My kids would love them and I’m always looking for alternatives to the traditional sandwich.

Wow, I’m impressed that you even took a muffin tin along on an outing! Good for you! 🙂
Now that is the cutest thing I’ve seen~ love his lunch in the muffin tin!

My daughter loves pickles! That is so cute that he ate with a friend. I had one of Little Bug’s friends over before and made her a MT lunch too. It’s always more fun with a friend!
