Mighty mini meals: 6 kid-friendly muffin tin recipes
Bigger is not always better. In fact, when it comes to the dinner table, big can be downright daunting for kids…especially if your little ones tend to get picky about their food.
But fear not, Mom! There’s an easy fix for this pint-sized problem—miniature meals. Our six easy meal-in-a-muffin-tin recipes—two breakfast, two dinner and two dessert—will have your kids begging for seconds (and to help you mix up the ingredients). All you need are two mini-muffin tins and a shrink-ray (not really)—and soon your family will be yelling, “Mom, you shrunk the kids’…food! Do it again!”
