thanks for posting about it.. not sure if you are going back to the original post so i started a new one.. (and others might benefit)

This looks so interesting..  and i can't stop looking at all the photos! Do you pretty much let your kids eat from the muffin tin?  Is it acting as a plate? 

I really love the idea and haven't seen it before.  I can't tell you how excited i am right now and can't wait to get home to try it!!!!!!  I really love the idea of allowing my son to see verity, instead of JUST PASTA!

I'm going to the store during lunch and getting a small muffin tin (i only have big ones). 

thank you so much!  you just totally made my day.

btw -are you a pro photographer?

    Yes, yes, yes!  Thanks so much for that awesome idea!  I did it last night (picture below).  She was very partial to some parts of the tin over others, but overall, it was a success.  She is so used to receiving one thing at a time that I think she was a bit overwhelmed at first.  Thanks again for the great idea.  We will be doing this most nights now!

    Did it work well for your toddlers?  J is just shy of 2 and I wasn't sure when this was age appropriate (I've never tried giving him that much food at once).  I just might have to try it. Maybe he'd try a fruit that way...This is such a great idea!

    Awww, thanks! 

    Yea, I am already thinking about what to put in it tonight.  Last night was raw zucchini, avocado, dumpling, turkey sausage, Enjoy Life trail mix, pasta and raspberries.

    I'm so glad you like it and are finding it helpful =)  We love muffin tin meals at our house!  Super easy and it is a great way to introduce new foods.  Studies show that for most kids to try new foods they need multiple (sometimes as many as 12+) exposures and to see others eating the food and enjoying it.  This is a great way to have multiple exposures and since other food is offered there isn't a lot of "pressure".  During the worst of DS's vax reaction we had to give him very specific foods for his nutritional needs and 99% of the time it wasn't food that "goes together" so I had to get creative. 

    Now that we have a FB page for our personal blog I'll be posting more iphone pics of some of the muffin tins and other meals we prepare (blog posts about one meal are time consuming).  Just thought I'd share that in case you want to check it out for meal ideas.

    ps.  Yes, I am a professional photographer.  I'm mostly active on my local board and they are pretty strict about biz links in signatures, etc. =)

    I went to create and barrel today and got a muffin pan :) can't wait to do this today!!!!! 

     

    i use to be very active on the photography board and i know all about the signature ban and blog stuff.   Are you apart of SPN?

    I hope the muffin tins help with the food rut and varieties! They are a great time saver for me to and help us waste less food. I don't know what SPN is? What does it stand for? Thanks for the compliments :) Ps I love your siggy pic. The detail in the top right is so pretty

    SPN is another forum that a lot of girls from the photo forum from thebump went to when there were just way too many restrictions.  It was my addiction until my job blocked viewing photos (ugh)..  it stands for secret photo nerds and it's an invite only forum.. there are a bunch of pro's and many hobbyist.  There are many tips and tutorials on there.
