Muffin Tin Meals- A Snowman’s Buffalo Chicken Lunch

Muffin Tin Monday- A Snowman's Buffalo Chicken Lunch

 

  •  
  • There is such something wonderful about buffalo chicken dip! I just love the flavors in it. One of its attributes is that it looks like snow in the baking dish. I had decided to make a snowman as one of JDaniel’s muffin tin meals this week. The buffalo chicken  dip made the perfect spreadable snowy topping.

The Muffin Tin Meal Building Instructions

  •  
  • Arnold’s 100% Whole Wheat Mini made the perfect foundation for the snowman’s  snowballs. They were just the right size to cover the top of the muffin tin cups. The top snowball had a cranberry smile, carrot nose, and raisin eyes added to its dip.
  •  
  • Beside the snowman sandwiches, this muffin tin meal contained a small salad. JaDniel has just started to enjoy salads. I am so excited! It is a great way to get vegetables into a meal.
  •  
  • He also had chunky beef soup to go with the meal. Yes, he had beef and chicken in his lunch. He really only ate the vegetables out of the soup so, the chicken was really the only meat he ate.
  •  
  • Finally, JDaniel had red grapes in his lunch. They have continued to be a favorite of his. He really loved getting to spear them with a snowman pick. 
  •  
  • The temperature has finally started to dip here. I am so ready to start filling JDaniel’s muffin tin meals with comfort foods that will warm him up.
  •  
  • Buffalo Chicken Dip:


Ingredients: 

2 (10 ounce) cans of chunk chicken, drained
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup Ranch or blue cheese dressing
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Mozzarella  cheese
  •  
  •  
  • Directions:
 
Stir cream cheese, ranch dressing, and chicken together in a bowl.
 
Spread mixture into a pie plate.
 
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
 
Serve with crackers and veggies or spread on bread like I did!

  14. I love the snowman idea! using three cups of the muffin tin. That is so smart! Can I use this idea too on one of our future lunches?

  15. I am SO glad you shared this cutie snowman idea! We are doing Snow & Snowmen in January, so I am putting this one in my idea file:) Also going to remember the small salad! Don’t know why I didn’t think of it before:/

  25. Love the sound of that recipe, thanks for sharing. Now I wish I had a regular muffin tin instead of the round ones. That is an adorable snowman!!

  27. I’m coming to your house for lunch! Besides that fact that it looks really good to my belly it also looks really good to my eyes. What a fun way to serve up food.
    I think I will make your dip this weekend. We are having a few friends over and I wanted to add a few fun things to the menu. Thanks for sharing.
    Oh, my favorite comfort food is mashed potatoes with gravy…love it!

  35. I love those mini sandwich thins! I was so excited to discover them a few weeks ago. Yay, for JDaniel liking salads now!!

  39. Your snowman muffin tin meal is wonderful! The dip sounds delicious…and I want to make some, for sure! I am wondering when to add the mozzarella cheese? Is it added to the top of the mixture before baking or after it comes out of the oven? Thanks for your help. 🙂
