I am very keen on giving children some experience of cooking so today’s recipes are ones that everyone can enjoy, and will give children some kitchen skills.
The peanut butter and banana French toast is very healthy and gives a great energy boost for children and adults alike. Banana and peanut butter are tastes that go very well together.
Instead of wholemeal bread you could use brioche which is nice and sweet. It is worth checking out NutShed.
This business is run in Nenagh by two sisters, Evie and Eliza Ward, and they have a great range of products, including peanut butter, that you can buy online and they will deliver.
These three ice lollies are made with real fruit and without sugar added. Lots of people are foraging these days and there are few nicer ways to spend some afternoon hours that picking blackberries.
You will find the moulds in most supermarkets and once you have them you will use them for ever. I like to keep a few of these in the freezer and you know exactly what is in them and they are full of taste and goodness.
Happy cooking,
Neven.
