Food de-la Finger

Zachariah has eaten his first finger food (which was none other than blueberry muffins!) and LOVED it. I am not ready to go finger food crazy yet (mainly because the responsibility for providing ALL of my kids nutrition scares the tar out of me) but I did find this uber cool recipe that I am going to try. So I thought I would share it in case anyone else needs finger food ideas. Enjoy!

Oh, and if anyone has some good starter-finger-foods, please pass them along! I am going to need all the ideas I can get. :)
