I didn’t realize when buying these silicone muffin cups I would use them for so many different things. They make a perfect little portion for kids of many foods.

Dinner idea:  A few nights ago, I chopped up some potatoes and let the kids put the raw potatoes into the muffin cups.  Then I simmered some white sauce and poured them into the muffin cups and baked until the potatoes were tender.  They were delicious!  The middle was quite hot however, so we dumped the contents of each onto our plates so it would cool off more quickly.

I don’t want to hear any potato trash talk! I hate that potatoes have a bad reputation. I hate that most potatoes consumed in the US are in the form of french fries.  Potatoes are a whole, plant food, straight from mother earth! We love potatoes!!

I also like those silicone muffins cups for muffins better than paper. The muffins pop out of the cups without leaving half of the muffin behind.  Here are some other things we have done with our silicone muffin cups.
Oat/ Apple Cups

And These spinach quiche cups.

Perfect Size for Kids!!! And if you were wondering, I bought 12 silicone cups at Target and they were $10. But I have not purchased any paper muffin cups since I bought them.
