DIY recipe : Pancake pops

Thursday, May 30th, 2013

You’ve seen lollipops.

I imagine by now you’ve also come across cake pops.

But what about pancake pops?!

Everything appears to be more fun when served up on a stick, and this breakfast treat is no exception.

They’re simple enough to make too. Just make regular pancake batter (the American fluffy pancake style of batter that is), pour a little on a heated, flat griddle pan and pop in your lollipop stick, smoothing the batter over the top. Then just flip to cook the other side and, when lightly browned on both sides, serve up drizzled in maple syrup!

Creative ideas for lunch boxes

Friday, January 18th, 2013

Although children are incredible for many different reasons, I have to admit, one of the things I’ll look forward to when I have my own is many excuses to be creative! Take even something simple like lunch boxes for example. You could pack their sandwiches in a simple tupperware box OR you could get all cute and creative with it and do something like so…

Awesome images:

  2. A gift-wrapped lunch would be pretty special on their birthday. Via Happy Home Fairy
  3. Food-safe markers means you can draw on Babybels, sandwiches, marshmallows etc. Via Another Lunch
  4. This chalkboard lunch bag, via Instructables, is an easy way to do something a little different every day. Simply change up the message :)
  5. Googly eyes. Super quick to stick on but still super cute. Via Cute Food for Kids
  6. These free printable labels, via Alpha Mom, will hopefully encourage your kids to eat more fruit!

And if you’re looking for something cool and contemporary to put the lunch goodies in, this DIY lunch box, made from a milk jug, could be just the thing. Some people are so darn clever!

I hope you like the lunch box ideas. They’re a little bit quicker than your usually bento box creations which, let’s face it, many busy parents would not get time to make! Even if you just do something creative a couple of times throughout the year it will be a nice surprise for your child. Perhaps stay away from your partner’s lunch though; I’ve heard stories of adults just not appreciating this kind of thing ;)

Sweet sushi

Thursday, January 10th, 2013

Kid’s versions of grown up things can be a lot of fun to make with, or for, your children. Like candy sushi for example! I bloomin’ love sushi. It’s the number one obsession I brought back with me from Canada. But as someone with an insanely sweet tooth I think I’d actually struggle to decide which sushi I preferred. Savoury sushi or sweet sushi! Actually a perfect meal could consist of both ;)

Jordan & Dillan came up with this fantastic candy-filled version of the awesome Japanese dish. Although they’re using some American candies I’m sure you will still find suitable sweets over here in the UK…

And would you just look at the awesome results?!

I actually think this would make a fun gift for a sushi loving adult too!

Did you hear that Verity? ;)
