We are told: “Don’t play with your food, it’s terribly, terribly rude”, but every once in a while, exceptions can be made, like with this fun and healthy lunch we call Tuna Salad with a twist!

What You Will Need:

Red, Yellow or Green Pepper

Tuna Salad

Carrot or Celery sticks

Cheese cut into triangles

Fish-shaped crackers (optional)

What To Do:

1. Get the kids involved with making tuna salad (Mayonnaise and a can of tuna mixed together)
2. While the kids are mixing the tuna, cut the pepper into halves to create your ship base.
3. Have the kids scoop the tuna inside the vessel
4. Cut a carrot or celery stick into strips and place as a mass in the centre of the tuna ship.
5. Set a triangle of cheese next to the mass on top of the tuna
6. Serve with the left over celery or carrot sticks and some fish crackers!

Getting kids involved in the preparation of their meals can be an educational and fun way to spend an afternoon, and almost guarantees they will eat their whole meal!

One great kid friendly meal is ‘Pita Pizzas’ which can be themed to almost any holiday or season. And for Spring and Easter, it is the Spring Egg Pizza.

There are two ways to create this fun meal, one is to use Pita bread so that the kids can each make their own, the other is to use a Pizza Dough Recipe and make any shape of base that you like, which can be decorated togeather.

What You Will Need:

Pizza Dough or Mini Pita Bread

Tomato Sauce

Grated Cheese

Red, Yellow, Green Pepper

Meat (of your choice)

Olives

Red Onions

Any other Pizza toppings you and the kiddies like!

What To Do:

1. Pre cut the kids favorite vegetables and meats into various shapes and put in separate bowls.
2. Grate the cheese.
3. If you are using a pizza dough recipe, prepare as directed and mold the base into your desired shape. If you are using Pita Bread, give each of the kids their own pita.
4. Allow the kids to use a spoon to spread the Tomato Sauce over their pizza base.
5. Have the children sprinkle cheese on top of the sauce
6. Let the kids decorate their pizza with all their favorite toppings to look like an Easter egg or any spring themed item!
7. Place in a pre heated oven until the cheese melts and the crust is slightly crispy
8. Serve and enjoy!
