This is something I picked up at another blog somewhere in cyber-space but sorry, can't remember to give you/it credit.  Isn't it a cute idea for kids?  And for when you don't have a big meal planned?  And for when you need to clean out the pantry?  The kids thought it was super fun.  It took a bit more time that I had imagined (I had to cube the cheese) but I think it only felt like a long time because I wanted it to be a surprise and the kids and Russell were dangerously close to running in the kitchen and seeing my little muffin tin of goodies.
