The first post of 2010... ahhhh, don't you just love that new post smell? And it just so happens to be the first Muffin Tin Monday of the year, too! No bells and whistles on this muffin tin meal, though. I took advantage of it being a no theme week. I just took a normal meal Baby Girl usually likes and put it in her muffin tin. It mixed things up a little bit, though, so no complaints here. She totally dumped it all onto her tray two minutes into her meal, but that's okay. She had fun. :)
She had some turkey, provolone cheese, and crackers along with some strawberry milk. Sounds good to me! I'm glad to say that the stress of meal time has lessened a little bit lately. If you're familiar with some of my posts, you know that Baby Girl has been super picky. She is also tiny which I know I shouldn't have worried about since EVERYONE in her family was small as children, but I'm not always rational. I worry way too much about things. But I'm proud to say after a few minor changes in my approach she's eating better and even on days that she doesn't, I let it go and say to myself that she will eat better tomorrow. So meal times have been a lot less stressful for everyone involved! Yay! Thank you to everyone who left comments of support and tales of their own picky eaters. :)

cool tin! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI am all for giving them foods they'll eat. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that meal time is getting less stressful. Dawson is getting harder and harder to please at meal time. He does great with lunch, but breakfast and dinner he'll only take a few bites and then he wants snacks ALL DAY LONG. Maybe I should start serving lunch (which is usually a sandwich of some sort) for breakfast, lunch and dinner?
ReplyDeleteHooray for a less-stressful mealtime!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your "ordinary" meal in a muffin tin - we do this several times through the week when I just need to shake things up, and it helps to remember that not EVERYONE makes FANCY tins ALL the time! ;)
Muffin tin meals always seem to cut down on the meal time stress!
ReplyDeleteSimplicity is always a good thing:)
