Muffin Tin Monday - Theme: Cinco De Mayo/ Mexican Heritage



Happy Muffin Tin Monday! Every week we share the muffin tin meals we make for our kids and link them together here - and we call it Muffin Tin Monday and sometimes "MTM" for short. :) Muffin Tin Mom is the "Official Home of the Muffin Tin Meal and Muffin Tin Monday" and I am so glad you are her to join in the fun by either submitting a link to your blog post about your MTM or just here to browse all the other submissions. For more on Muffin Tin Monday be sure to visit the MTM FAQ page.

This week's theme is Cindo De Mayo!/Mexican Heritage.

Here's what we had:


Fresh Mango Slices, Mini Quesadilla, Tortilla Chips, Salsa, Sour Cream, Rice

The Salsa and Sour Cream were both foods I was trying to reintroduce. They were recieved fairly well, Muffin Tin Girl enjoyed a few bites of each and I think it's a step in the right direction towards expanding her palette.

What did you make?

Here are this week's links!


Lunchville: Chic and eco-friendly lunch bags, containers and drink bottles. They even have cloth sandwich and snack bags! Some of the lunch bags are so cute, they look like purses!

Tuesday I will be giving my presentation on cyberbullying. During my research, I found this cyberbullying PSA from the ad council to be riveting.

Teacher Appreciation Week is this week, beginning on May 3rd. Our school isn't celebrating for one more week, thank goodness. However I want to encourage you to offer up a token of appreciation that is, first and foremost from the heart - A meaningful handwritten note or picture from your child is always nice. Consider your child's teacher and what they might enjoy. And if you are your child's teacher, by golly, treat yourself to something special! For you creative types that love to use your gifts, consider Tip Junkie's comprehensive list of posts on teacher appreciation ideas!

Did you know that Wilton.com offers up ideas for cupcakes? They have samples for everything from baby showers to graduation! I spent for-ev-er browsing though all the ideas!

Scripture For Sunday

A dear friend shared this with me after I was feeling discouraged this week.

2 Corinthians 12:9

9But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

I don't boast about being weak very often...
