Sycamore Stirrings has the greatest ideas! I am so glad that they will still work on my son, because I may have had to have another child just to do this. I showed my son her blog and you should have seen the smile grow across his face. We can't wait to try it! Brilliant! Anything to get kids interested in good food. Not processed crap food, but real food.
I am lucky that my son is an adventurous eater. We always told him he HAD to try something, but if he didn't like it, then he didn't have to eat it. I was determined to not to have him turn into a picky eater. I have a friend {wink wink} that has a niece and nephew who would only eat Kraft Mac & Cheese, hotdogs, rice-a-roni.......my neice would eat ketchup with potato chips for breakfast.........their parents STILL bring their own food (mac&cheese) to holiday dinners, and the kids are now 16 and 14! True!
We have all created little games to get our children to eat, but I really think this would have been so fun.......what a way to get children to try a variety of foods. Think of the vitamins their little bodies will absorb. I can see their rosy cheeks now.
I bet my niece and nephew........I mean my friends niece and nephew would have tried a few of these foods.
Why stop there, why not make other fun and tasty things in a muffin tin?
I want her to adopt me. 
You know she's the mom bringing the fancy treats to school making the rest of us look bad.
I can make ants on a log..........so there.
But I can't make a quilt. 
Or baby beluga tee's.........love that. I loved singing that song to my son. I'm sure she made that whale so perfectly because she's from Seattle. We have whales you know......
And I can't make headbands...........heck I can't even wear one.
I could make this cake........and I know I could eat it. What a brilliant way to decorate it! I would have never thought of that.........using sliced almonds for flower petals. I can not tell you how much I love simple ideas with BIG appeal.
This mom has got it goin on........Go visit her........now! Leave her a nice message letting her know what a great job she's doing raising our future generation!

I just discovered your blog today & love it! I was reading your interview w/ Laurie on Tip Junkie. I, too, hate it when people don't leave comments.
So, here I am, leaving a comment.
I love your blog & thanks for all the work you put into it! :)

hi, yeah-- me, too. I comment WAY too infrequently, especially for a blogger who loves comments of her own. I'm sorry!! Forgive me?
This was a fun one. I'm off to go share my love with this gal.
I meant great promo on Tip Junkie - why am I getting your two sites confused today!??? BECAUSE YOU'RE BOTH FABULOUS LADIES!!!
Love TCB!
Joe
Oh WOW! I want to get adopted too! Those snack trays are amazing! And I'm totally craving a beluga tee!
The muffin tin meals are genius! And I can't wait to make the monkey face sandwich and be my kids' favorite mom :)
I love those food ideas! My kids might- just might- eat their veggies this way. We have the same "try it once" rule, but we still have picky eaters.
I'm commenting! I've surfed on in here lots but do exactly what you said and go looking at the inspiration!!
great food tips...
Whenever we create or design something to ad beauty or uniqueness to our life, suddenly it makes it more meaningful. Thanks for sharing these.
Breakfast will be a lot more fun this morning!
What a fabulous idea! And I just love the look of those pancakes and strawberries!
I have been to this ladies site several times. I am craft coordinator at our church's VBS and I used some of her ideas in our afternoon lagoon cooking track.
I just found you from tip junkie. Your blog is lovely! I'm so glad I came...thanks for the post, now I'm off to read more!
Thanks for finding this. I saw the muffin tins earlier this summer, but couldn't remember where, and voila, you found them for me :) Great interview with Laurie too!
i would have SO much more time for creative ventures if it wasn't for you ;) (cuz i'd spend less time having to check all my new favorite blogs!) seriously, another fabulous feature. i am definitely going to try the muffin tin thing!
thanks for always featuring the latest and greatest!
Oh, I love her ideas! Gotta go back and spend some time perusing her older posts.
Thanks!

Thanks for posting this today. My son is getting to be a difficult child to feed... rather, force to eat. I can try some of her ideas. I think he'd like that. Oh, and in our house we have a rule, you have to at least have two "no thank you bites." Then if you don't like it you don't have to eat the rest. Of course then I tell them about the starving children in Africa and they ignore me.
I love this idea and her site! I think it would be great to use those silicon muffin liners to do this for a school lunch box. Thanks for sharing her site.
love love love the whale onesie!!

oh my she is creative! I love the food ideas, I have a picky eater and need to be creative otherwise he will live on chocolate!
I want her to be my mommy. For so real.
Such a creative lady!!
I love the blogs you feature....thanks for going through the effort for us out here in blogland!!!
i am going to have to check that out - i have a major picky eater and the muffin tin idea is great!
I live in a no kid house but how fun would this be for tryign to eat healthy snacks, i could do this on the weekends!
My un-picky kiddo will eat nearly anything we cook, so maybe I'll do the muffin tin meal for our periodic Dim Sum style dinner.
Great cake idea. I have to do that.
I just loved the way you wrote this post! The pictures you chose and how you commented on them... made me just want to go to this womans blog and see what she's up to!! Everyone should be so lucky as to have you write a feature about their blog!! ~Cindy Lietz
I may just try this on my husband! Thanks for turning me on to this site.
I just found your site and so excited! I'm fairly new to blogging and a creative mom on the hunt for more creative people. This is so great. I love all the sites you feature. How fun! Great idea.
