No Ambition Lunch

I was seriously lacking ambition today at lunch and didn't feel like making anything. On those days, this is one of my quick fixes. Works really well when I have a little bit of everything left over. Thanks to my friend Elizabeth for the creative serving idea. The boys think this is a great picnic treat.

Take a muffin pan and fill in with your odds and ends. Today we ended up with saltines, dried cranberries, cheddar cheese, croutons, carrots, almonds, fruit snacks, and cherries. I really consider this a free meal because it's all leftovers where I've included the costs to other meals already. Realistically, this meal represents less than $2.00.
