Muffin Tin Monday - puzzle pieces for Autism

It's that time again, it's Muffin Tin Monday! This meal is lunch for my three-year-old. :) There was no theme this week for MTM.

MTM w/ puzzle piece creackers!
Across the top row she has: apple slices, organic yogurt covered raisins, strawberries.
The bottom row: homemade puzzle-shaped cheese crackers, egg salad sandwich on whole wheat bread, cucumber slices.

The homemade crackers are made using an old Emeril recipe for Cheesy Star Snacks, I tinkered with the seasoning some and, of course, instead of star shapes I used my Lunch Punch puzzle cutters. It is Autism Awareness Month afterall. :)  The puzzle shaped crackers came out beautifully, the pieces can be connected and everything! :)

Love the cracker and the tin... I love little compartments since it forces you to diversify your menu and add fruit and veggies.

Melissa, do you make the "Baby Bam" the Emeril recipe calls for? I'd love to try making crackers, but that is a ton of spices to set aside for one recipe.

I have made the Baby Bam seasoning mix before and liked the results. This time I used "Emeril's Essense" because I already had it in the pantry. The second batch I made I used a mix of paprika, garlic salt, garlic powder and pepper and chili powder. On some I added a sprinkle of garlic salt to the top after the egg wash, and on another batch I added in some creole seasoning too. I liked them all. The kids didn't like the one with creole (though they like it on everything else I use it for!), but I think that one was my favorite.
