<\/a><\/p>\nAfter checking the cupboards, I decided to go with a classic Easter bunny theme today.\u00a0 In the bottom row, the kids have Annie\u2019s chocolate graham bunny cookies in an Easter muffin tin liner, turned inside out to showcase the pictures.\u00a0 I ran across these liners at the Dollar Tree last week and they came with the cute plastic picks I used in the fruit.\u00a0 The next cup is a crescent roll Easter basket, filled with grape and blueberry \u201cEaster eggs.\u201d\u00a0 I made the Easter baskets first thing, so they could bake while I finished everything else.\u00a0 I just smooshed a crescent roll into a muffin cup so it would bake into a cup shape.\u00a0 It ended up getting puffier than I thought it would, but the boys still enjoyed them, and that\u2019s what counts!\u00a0 The next cup is more grape and blueberry Easter eggs.\u00a0 The kids love using these little picks to poke their food.\u00a0 I often add them to school lunches, even when there\u2019s no theme.<\/p>\n
The top row is baby carrots that are about to get eaten by the cheese rabbit who has just run out of the edible Easter grass.\u00a0 You can see that he left one of his little rabbit friends hiding in the grass.\u00a0 Those yellow rabbits came in the package of Easter grass.\u00a0 And, speaking of the Easter grass, I know you\u2019re going to look at this and say, seriously? She had edible Easter grass just lying around?\u00a0 I actually did!\u00a0 If you remember my Toolbox Blog<\/a>, you\u2019ll recall that I stock up on supplies that might come in handy for a themed meal whenever I find them on sale.\u00a0 I got this Easter grass for a dollar last year and because it\u2019s pretty much just flavored Styrofoam (that\u2019s what I think it tastes like anyway), it\u2019s not expired yet.\u00a0 The kids think it\u2019s fun though, and it matches my theme.<\/p>\n These are the Easter muffin tin liners and picks that I have in my collection right now.\u00a0 The set on the left came from Dollar Tree, and I think the others were a mixture of a couple sets from Wal-Mart.\u00a0 Most of these stores drop the prices down on these kinds of items after the holidays, so you can normally find some great deals.<\/p>\n To make the cheese rabbit, I just used a cookie cutter.\u00a0 I have these in all shapes, so I\u2019m pretty much prepared for any theme that may come up.\u00a0 This particular one is really neat.\u00a0 It\u2019s an antique six-sided cutter that I got from a friend\u2019s grandma.<\/p>\n I hope you enjoyed sharing this colorful break from our snow day with us.\u00a0 Remember, it doesn\u2019t take much to make your meals memorable!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here in Illinois, it doesn\u2019t feel like Easter is coming any time soon.\u00a0 It has snowed every day for the past week, and we have almost a foot of the white stuff on the ground.\u00a0 When school was cancelled for Continue reading Making Meals Memorable: The Easter Bunny is Coming!<\/span>![\"\"](\"http:\/\/foodietales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/easter_supplies.jpg\" "\\"easter_supplies\\"")
