ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER MEAL…

RICE AND APPLE BAKE

My mum used to make it for us all the time. This can be serve as a snack, supper or a desert.

You can make a very healthy version of it or just healthy one. What is important is make lots of it as the whole family will want to eat it.

Ingredients :

– 1kg of sweet apples

– 250g of brown and wild rice mix (this can be replaced by white rice)

– 1 vanilla flavour actimel

– 400ml of milk (this can be replaced by water)

– 1tsp cinnamon

Cooking method :

Heat up your oven to 200C.

Cook rice in milk following cooking instruction on the packet.

Peal and grate all apples.

Prepare round, 30cm cake tin by coating it in a very thin layer of butter. Put half of your rice in to the cake tin, then add your apples and cover it with the remaining rice. Pour over actimel.

Bake for 20 minutes.

Dish is ready to serve straight away, hope that your kids will enjoy it as much as me and Chloe did.

Remember to be careful with the way you store cooked rice. This dish can be stored for up to 2 days in an airtight container or frozen within an hour, for up to 3 months.

HEALTHY BUT SO YUMMY KIDS PARTY FOOD ! Yes it is possible !!!

BABY ADVICE, SNACK RECEPE

Kids Birthday Parties can be fun, yummy and … Heathy ! Yes they can ! There is no need to buy only junk food or to have everything with added sugar.

A few weeks ago I organised Chloe’s 1st birthday party. I wanted a sugar free party, why? Because most of Chloe’s guests were 1 year old or under and because I haven’t given Chloe sugar before. I have gathered lots of different ideas about kids party food from Pinterest and I have adapted some sugary recipes so that they are sugar free.

This is what I have prepared for the party

ICE CREAM CONES

Ice Cream Cones dipped in blended blueberry and coconut. You can make so many different versions of it, depending on the age of the kids.

– chocolate and nuts

– chocolate and coconut

– blueberry and cornflakes

– melted marshmallows

ICE CREAM CONES WITH FRUITS

Stuff ice cream cones with any fruits you like. It’s sweet, healthy and it looks great.

SWEETCORN AND PEAS

All kids love those ! Put them in to cute little cupcake cases to serve.

KIWI FLOWERS

Another fun way to serve fruits. Use a small cookie, flower cutter to use around the kiwi. Top the kiwi with a raspberry and add a leaf of mint to finish it of.

STRAWBERRIES
Strawberry is another great replacement to sweets/cookies. Because of its sweetness and vibrant colour kids (most of the kids) love them.

Dip strawberries in a soft cream and … coconut for a super healthy snack or in dark chocolate and then coconut if your kids are already eating chocolate.

You can also cut strawberry in half and put little dots of soft cream/ chocolate on top to make little ladybirds.

HEART AND STAR SHAPED SANDWICHES

I know that this is a lot of work but I can do once a year for a special occasion. Just make your sandwiches and flatten them, use biscuit cutter of a desired shape to cut them. Just remember that the sandwich needs to be very simple : soft cheese, cheese or ham are ideal.

MAGIC WAND

Kids love blueberries so get some of them on a toothpick, topped with a star cut out of watermelon and you have a magic wand ready. I have used bought toothpicks with gold stars on top of it.

BANNANA MUFFINS

Bannana sugar free muffins are a great alternative to the traditional ones. They have been a hit on all of the babies parties I have been to (you can find the recipe on my blog).
