Thanksgiving Themed Muffin Tin Meal

We kicked off Thanks­giv­ing week with a lit­tle themed muf­fin tin meal tonight.  
As usual, Big Brother loved it! It was a rather blus­tery day around here and I was mak­ing chicken soup and sand­wiches for din­ner.  So, I thought this would make Big Brother have a lit­tle more fun with with it.
Here’s what din­ner included (start­ing top left, con­tin­u­ing clockwise):
–cheese pump­kins & pump­kin pret­zels, a turkey sand­wich, craisins, triscuits, chicken soup, and a pump­kin choco­late chip cookie.
The star of the meal was of course Mr. Turkey Sandwich…

To make: cut two slices of bread into a large cir­cle for the body.  With the scraps, cut an oblong shape for the head.  Make a sand­wich of your choice with the large cir­cles.  Then, using but­ter, attach the head to the body.  Make eyes (I carved them from black olives), a beak (cut tri­an­gle of cheese stuck on with a lit­tle but­ter), and a wat­tle (I cut up the pimento out of a green olive).
For the feath­ers, cut three baby car­rots into thin slices (I got 3–4 from each car­rot) and stick in the mid­dle of the sand­wich.  One pret­zel stick cut in half will give you the legs! 


A fun start to Thanks­giv­ing week in which there are sure to be some more ter­rific turkey activ­i­ties com­pleted!  Think­ing that serv­ing up left­over Thanks­giv­ing foods like this and  mak­ing these with left­over turkey would be pretty cute too!!

    Love it! I’ve found that using a drink­ing straw as a kind of cookie-cutter for the olives makes it really easy! And you just blow your cir­cle back out! (or cut the straw short and use a toothpick.)
