Summer is just around the corner here in Australia, which means lots of fresh salads and my favourite stone fruits. The girls and I love to go to our local markets early on the weekends to pick out some beautiful fresh fruit and vegetables and I like to let them choose what they like. Before we leave I usually ask them what meals they would like to make during the week so we have an idea of what vegetables to pick and then let them choose the fruit, and they love choosing. I find that if they have a choice, they are more likely to eat the foods that they choose, this can be with any foods so we, as parents/carers, may as well give them a large variety of good foods regularly. Tonight we had salad rolls as a rare treat, funny how my kids only ate a little bit of the bread rolls and picked the salad off, makes me a happy Mummy :)
I'm hoping to get Hayley back in the kitchen soon, I've been a bit rushed in the afternoon and unfortunately, this is the worst time to be in the kitchen with the kids, when you're time poor. It creates a stressful environment and kids in the kitchen need to feel happy and calm when cooking to create an area where they will want to return to over and over. I look forward to posting some pics really soon. Until next time, happy cooking :)
