After putting together our yellow sensory tub, I decided to make a yellow themed muffin tin meal for James. He loved it! Muffin tin meals are so much fun to eat out of (and to prepare! - the individual cups really appeal to my OCD tendencies organized nature)! :D
Here's what in it:::Baby corn
::Kix cereal
::Jell-O
::Pepper sticks
::Scrambled eggs
::Pineapple
:: A cup of lemonade
Here are some more yellow food ideas:
::Bananas
::Lemons
::Corn kernals or cobs
::Macaroni and Cheese
::Grapefruit
::Summer squash
::Yellow wax beans
::Pears
::Cheese
::Crackers
::Mustard
::Lemon flavored yogurt
::Cornbread
::Rice mixed with saffron or turmeric
::Cupcakes
~Thank you for your comments!~

Am going to hunt for a muffin tin now! I reckon it may encourage Little Bean to try a wider variety of food. He used to eat virtually anything but right now he is becoming a bread and meat only muncher!
mm looks yummy!!
Yum! Love baby corn!
Who knew there were so many yellow foods!
VERY cute! What a cheerful meal to have!
"Yellow Meal" was a weekly tradition at the summer camp that I worked at in college - Chicken nuggets, Mac&Cheese, Corn, Lemonade, and Banana Pudding. Yours is definitely more eclectic. Fun idea!
This is such a fun idea!
This is a great idea and a great way to introduce kids to all kinds of foods. You're blog is awesome! I linked to your blog in my post: http://play2grow.blogspot.com/2010/08/versatile-blogger-award.html
WOW! Creative idea!! I should start thinking about Muffin Tin Meal - Green to encourage kids to eat their veggies! =P
Yellow is my favorite color! What a fun idea. This would be a great way to get kids to sample new foods too, I bet. It's a small amount and interestingly presented!
Great - we are eating our way through the rainbow an next week is yellow. Will steal some of your ideas here. (:

Just to let you know.
So glad you love Muffin Tin Meals as much as we do. We've been MTMing for over 3 years now and it has been a great way for my kids to try new foods and have fun doing it. We gather every Monday for Muffin Tin Monday at http://muffintinmom.com
