Muffin Tin Monday: Bugs In the Garden

    This week we played in the dirt a bit, then we ate bugs! Not the crunchy black beetles, instead we had the culinary delight of pear beetles . YUM YUM YUM!!!!

I decided to use my vintage corn bread pan this week. I like the shallow little textured corn theme compartmnets.

((From left to right))

• Grass and weeds made from celery  and artichokes.
• Hummus and whole grain crackers 
• Ant made from pears (cut in circles), dried cranberry eyes, tiny celery slivers for legs
• A tiny bit of applesauce and a spoon
• Beetle made from pears, held together with peanut-butter, with dried cranberry as spots and eyes
• Applesauce with floating strawberry, watermelon, and pear flower.
• Another watermelon and strawberry flower with pear steam.also wanted to stem.

I also wanted to point out that last week I somehow managed to forget my button on top of my post. No one noticed, but I feel a bit bad. To make up for it I'm reminding all my readers to give the button a little clicky and see all the other great muffin tins meals, and of course all the great post by the Muffin Tin Mom herself!
