The other day I just had to get out of the house. Pierce needed some new socks, so the twins and I headed to TJ Maxx. Imagine my delight to discover they had all sorts of unusual muffin tins from Denmark! Yes, Denmark! They had trains and farms and butterflies. I would've bought them all if I could, but our budget is not that flexible. I picked up the mushroom cups and a bug tin. Here is what I made the first time using the mushroom cups.
Pierce had a vegetarian "sushi" dish with raw tomatoes that I made from a recipe in Fitness magazine. It was really good, although I roasted our green tomatillos just a bit first (the red tomatoes I left raw - and the whole thing is in a soy based sauce - very flavorful). He also had fish sticks, peaches, and ketchup for dipping.

So, I think it has his approval =)
So cute. I've said it before....but you really are an amazing mom!!!!
Very cute finds! And I still love fish sticks. Every so often we have them for dinner. They were a big treat when I was a kid, so having them makes me feel like I'm about 5, and that's it's a special occasion. Isn't that silly!
TJ Maxx is the best! That looks like a good lunch!
So Cute!!!

You get an A plus for use of your imagination in creating such fun meal presentations for the boys.

Pierce will have an iron-clad stomach by the age of 16. I swear. :)
Those are so cute! Who would have thought they would make mushroom ones? And from Denmark and not China! Woo Hoo! Love that! I have serious fits when I find things made in China because I won't buy it...
Here's my tip of the day concerning socks for boys! Try to only buy ones that are black or brown on the bottoms. That way when they wear them outside without their shoes they don't look all dirty after you wash them! :)
I have missed these. Once again, I quit reading blogs. I am just having trouble getting back in the groove of life. I need to scroll back through as I know my favorite little guy started school and I am sure you posted pics of that!
