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 every day at 1:00 pm. 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 Summer Recipes!
It can be too hot for baking in the summer, but it is definitely the season of salads! I love Greek Salad, with all of it's freshness, and Feta cheese is just the best! Broccoli Salad is scrumptious, and you can add in some great extras to make it your own! Potato Salad is great for a summer cookout!
If you've been growing a garden, this is the perfect time to put some of those fresh veggies to work!
Cooking With Peaches: https://www.countryliving.com/food-drinks/g1499/peach-recipes/
Peaches are one of my favourite fruits, and favourite things to cook with. They're great in parfaits, wonderful in cobblers, and they make the most delicious tartlets! For a refreshing drink on a hot summer day, try some raspberry peach lemonade!
Have you ever had a peach cinnamon roll? What are you waiting for?
Apple Fruit Donuts: https://www.hellowonderful.co/post/EASY-APPLE-FRUIT-DONUTS--HEALTHY-KID-SNACK/#_a5y_p=5448383
This is probably one of the coolest and the cutest snacks I've ever seen! All you need is apples, cream cheese, food colouring, and sprinkles! Let the kids decorate their own slices, and enjoy this tasty and artistic snack!
Mini Jello Aquariums: http://www.confessionsofacookbookqueen.com/mini-jello-fish-bowls/
We had our healthy snacks, now it's time to get silly! Even if you don't have all the materials for this project, jello and gummy fish are a great fun snack!
Hopefully these activities help break up the day, and get your family engaged in making some delicious summer recipes!
