Food Friday: Snacks in Muffin Tins

When I first started doing this I honestly thought I was the only person who did it (and the first person to think to do it). Oh boy, was I ever wrong about that. Turns out lots of people do it (for one of many examples, click here). I’ll be honest: knowing I’m not the only one doing this has taken some of the thrill out of it (it used to feel so original; so creative; so unique). However, knowing I’m just one of many still doesn’t stop me from doing it, and it definitely doesn’t stop the bambinos from loving it. This is especially fun to do when we have kids over to play because it virtually guarantees that there’s something for everyone (plus there’s the great “wow!” factor when we place the spread onto the table and all the kids go crazy for it). We did this a couple of weeks ago for a playdate with two 2-year olds, one 5-year-old, and the three bambinos. All six kids loved it (and Meera was so excited to share it with her friends – photo above taken on that day right before Meera called out “Snack Time!” and all the kids came running).
