RECIPES

Children love imitating mum and dad and one of the most engaging games is making dinner. This is why it’s a good idea to get them involved in the kitchen and make some fun and delicious recipes – even better if they’re healthy too!
Here’s a few simple ideas for recipes that you can make with your little chefs, who can have fun trying their hand at cooking for themselves.

POTATO FACES

POTATO FACES

If you have trouble getting your child to eat vegetables, why not try these fun potato faces with spinach hair, boiled egg eyes, a tomato for a nose and a slice of carrot for a smile.

Ingredients:
• Mashed potato (approx. 4 tablespoons) – see our recipe
• 1 boiled egg
• Boiled spinach with olive oil or butter
• 1 cherry tomato
• 1 pitted olive
• 1 slice of carrot

Prepare the mashed potato. Boil a handful of spinach, then squeeze out any excess water and season with a little olive oil (or butter) and salt. Remove the shell from the boiled egg and slice. Wash and dry the tomato. Cut the pitted olive in half. Peel a carrot, then make a slice and cut out a smile.
Take the mashed potato and shape it into a face shape in the centre of a plate.
Take two slices of boiled egg to make the eyes, then add the tomato nose and the carrot mouth.
Add the spinach hair, egg ears and the olive pupils! Dinner is served!
