Totem Poles on Muffin Tin Monday
It's Muffin Tin Monday and I'm extremely excited this time, because my blogging friend over at Garden of Daisies was kind enough to send the most wonderful package. I was her 400th follower, and she said she wanted to send me something, but I had no idea she'd find something so fantastic and creative to send! I'm not the type of person that jumps up and down, but when I opened the box and saw 3 totem pole sets to use for Muffin Tin Monday, I was jumping up and down folks! I couldn't wait to use them (and you'll have to go ask her where she got them if you're interested, because I've never seen anything like them myself).
You can turn the little compartments around to make different style totems - note that some sides have faces, and others have hands and feet. How much fun is that?
The boys each had a totem with apples on top (from our apple trees - yes, our apples have weird black spots that won't wash off on them, but luckily it doesn't affect their taste). In the middle they had a chicken and broccoli noodle casserole. On bottom they had a roasted acorn squash. I finally found a way to cook acorn squash that I love without all that sugar and butter! Just toss w/ olive oil, salt, and pepper and bake on a baking sheet at 350* for 35 minutes. Yum! The boys sure loved their totem poles.

Those are absolutely darling! I bet your boys were super excited to see those. What a great gift.
Adorable! and I bet those apples are delicious fresh off the tree, spots or not.
The muffin tins are so cute! What a wonderful gift. The meal looks great! We have been enjoying sugar free squash too.
The boxes are so cute!! I love roast squash.
I bet the boys can't wait to see what you are going to come up with next for them. I can't wait to see what you will do for them on Halloween. The dollar store sells such cute little plastic things.

I adore those totem poles! Would LOVE to know where to find them. And the squash with olive oil sounds like a much healthier way to prepare it - we'll have to try it. :)

I can see why you are jumping up and down-these are so neat!

The totem poles are ridiculously cute! Great tip on the squash too.
I can certainly see why you were so excited. I love those!
I wish they had these when my kids were little. They would still love them, but don't tell anyone.
Cute idea!! And you make the yummiest lunches! Can you come and cook for us? ;)
Those are the cutest little containers! I just pulled some acorn squash from our garden yesterday, or at least I think that's what it is. Though I don't know if I'm ready to give up my brown sugar and butter.
I am going to try your squash recipe. It sounds so good. Its fun to hear suggestions from friends on sharing cooking ideas!
The Totem Poles are adorable.
What a sweet gift.

OOPs, I thought I left a comment, but I must have gotten distracted . I'm so glad you like them! And I'm happy that the boys are enjoying them too. Their lunches sure look yummy. You young moms are so creative, making these healthy lunches super fun for your children. Makes me wish my kids were little again.
Well these are just too cute. What a great giveaway prize. :)
These have got to be the cuttest things EVVVER!
That is an awesome set!
How cool are those!
