DIY food art – kids under the sea breakfast

Posted on August 25, 2014 | Leave a comment

Food art is so fascinating for kids as for adults. I will never mind to get such plate as breakfast in bed. I find it amusing too 🙂

Anyone can make this cute breakfast (could be a snack as well). Very simple and easy. You will need:

thin slices of cucumber cut lengthwise for the stems
2 carrots slices to make the fish
handful cereal breakfast for the sea
small raisins for the water bubbles
one big raisin cut in 4 for the turtle hands and legs
one medium raisin for the turtle head
one kiwi slice for the turtle body
edible paint for the turtle and fish eyes (optional)

It’s great to get your kid eat healthy food and have fun in the same time. When nady saw the plate he started waving his hands like a fish and singing. The turtle really grabbed his attention too! Amazed by his beautiful breakfast, he was hesitating whether to contemplate, play or start digging in!

Well he decided to polish off his delicious under the sea breakfast!

Never mind if your kid didn’t like the taste of kiwi, It’s one of my many attempts to offer this fruit to him but he doesn’t like it so far! But i will keep on trying…

Try these edible cool arts for your kids and give them a reason to always be happy and enjoy food.

Whatever you are doing, always add fun to you and your loved ones life! Happy day to all and lots of love and smiles x

creative easter eggs – bunnies, carrots and chicks

Posted on March 12, 2014 | 5 comments

Coloring eggs should be fun when you have kids. Just normal dyeing is not enough to impress my boy. we need creative ideas? and that’s how it started…

Bunnies, carrots and chicks and let the fun begin!

Dye the eggs with orange to make the carrots.

Then cut papers from different shades of green (to look realistic) as medium thin strips to make the carrots stems. I used wax gun to stick them.

And the carrots are ready.

Now we want bunnies to eat those carrots. No need to color the eggs, white is perfect. Cut out two big and two small ovals for the ears.

Click bunny ears to download a high resolution file.

The nose is a small pompom bought ready made (for people in qatar you can buy it from daiso). Draw eyes and moustache with a black marker.

And the family bunnies found the carrots!

Adding chicks made the whole thing so cool. 3 easy steps to follow:

color blue eggs
stick yellow triangle for the nose
2 black dots for the eyes

Then i realized there should be a male chick! Small rectangular cuts on a red paper and the comb is done!

I like the egg carton color, so why not use it for the decoration?!

Final outcome! Brilliant! Am sure adults as kids will love this.Can you feel the spring? Am sure now you’re all excited for easter 🙂

roast hamour fish

Posted on March 7, 2014 | Leave a comment

Cooking becomes different when you have a baby. He becomes the priority and your life is all about him. It’s friday (the weekend in Doha) the day we eat lunch as a family. I woke up thinking what to cook something healthy, fast and my boys like it. Plus it’s the lent and we don’t eat meat on fridays. So i decided to make roast fish with vegetables, lemon and walnut.

Ingredients:

A whole fish, i chose hamour about 1kg
3 medium potatoes
4 carrots
3 big garlic cloves
walnuts (as much as you like)
200g coriander
olive oil
salt
2 lemons

Chop the walnuts, garlic and coriander for the stuffing.

Make diagonal cuts on both sides to put inside from the stuffing to give it a richer aroma.

Stuff the fish and insert lemon slices.

Cut the carrots and potatoes and put them on the sides.

sprinkle the salt and olive oil and it’s ready to be baked for 25 mns.

Try it and give me your opinion 🙂
