We are temporarily reviving our Children's Blog to provide some
resources for families who are stuck at home during this period of
social distancing due to COVID-19. We will put together a variety of
activities for you and your families - see which
ones you can do, and if you get the chance, share the results with us on
any of our social media platforms, which will be listed at the bottom
of this blog.
Today's theme is Garden Meals!
Garden Chicken Wrap: https://kidshealth.org/en/kids/chicken-wrap.html
We have carrots and spinach in our garden, so this one is perfect for us. Throw in some of your other favourite garden goodies, like peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers. Drizzle on some dressing and wrap it up tight! You can also mix it all together like a salad before tossing it into your wrap! Delicious!
Italian Roasted Snap Peas: https://www.midwestliving.com/recipe/italian-roasted-snap-peas/
If your peas are doing well in your garden this year, check out this delicious summer recipe for roasted snap peas. Throw in some tomatoes from the garden, maybe even some peppers. Season and serve! If you like those, check out these Crunchy Parmesan Sugar Snap Peas or these delicious Roasted Carrots!
Tomato and Cheese Tart: https://www.midwestliving.com/recipe/vegetables/heirloom-tomato-and-goat-cheese-tart/
I love tomatoes. I love cheese. I love tarts. Perfection! This recipe has some great seasoning, but feel free to experiment with some of your other favourite spices. If you don't have goat cheese, cream cheese will work great!
Lemon Pesto Garden Salad: https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/crunchy-lemon-pesto-garden-salad/
This is a great recipe to throw in whatever you have in your garden; lettuce, peas, cucumbers, onions, squash, peppers, tomatoes ... throw the whole garden in there! Pesto is such a wonderful addition to literally everything, so if you've been growing an herb garden, add in some of that deliciousness! Lemon gives this salad that extra zing it needs to be truly fantastic!
Hopefully these activities help break up the day, and get your family engaged in making some delicious garden meals!
