Last Monday I was all set for pumpkins as the theme for Muffin Tin Monday. I was wrong.
I had already made up the boys' muffin tin lunch, was ready to post it and then discovered it was a circus theme. So today you will see last week's PUMPKIN muffin tin lunch and today's.
This was fun, but I really had a hard time thinking of ways to make pumpkin shapes for the boys. I guess I did an OK job because the boys loved their two different pumpkin themed MTM meals.
Anyway here is what I came up with for the boys' Muffin Tin Monday lunch last week.
Here is what they had:
Pumpkin shaped sandwich-Matthew had ham and Ryan cheese. Carrots with pumpkin colored Ranch dressing. Goldfish and pretzels to keep with the orange/brown theme, pumpkin seeds, raisins and a candy pumpkin. And a pumpkin shaped Rice Krispie treat.
And here is today's Muffin Tin Monday lunch.
Little slice of goodness! I wasn't sure about this recipe at first, but you add that little dollop of whipped topping and it is a keeper now.
I love our Monday lunch. If you are new to my blog I only do this on Mondays. Mondays are my day to catch up from the weekend. Everyday stuff to do in the house plus school and grocery shopping as soon as we are done. This is a quick meal I can throw together. And the ideas are endless in those little circles.
I hope you will join in the fun with your kiddos.
Now I am going to head over to Muffin Tin Mom to see what others came up with.
Note: To participate in Muffin Tin Monday you do not have to prepare your meal on Monday. And it does not have to be a lunch. Nor do you have to have a theme. I do it all for FUN!!!!! And that is Muffin Tin Mom's goal.....for you to have FUN making a meal for your children.

Wow, you went all out! It looks great!
Wow, both of the week's tins sound so yummy. We are actually making our pumpkin tin in a couple of weeks when the theme is Halloween as we don't celebrate Halloween. Today we did Columbus Day. If you have a chance I invite you over to check out our meal and maybe hang around to get to know us a little. I will be checking out more of your blog later this evening. Was also wondering if you would be able to share the recipe for the Pumpkin Pie bars, my hubby would definitely love those.
