We are join in with A-Z cooking with kids ( summer 16 ) with our blogging and mummy friend becky from 3princessesand1dude I picked the letter F as i knew i wanted to do something with fruit. Bodhi known in our family as a fruit bat he would eat it until it comes out of his ears at the moment one of his favouite fruits are grapes, I also love just how easy and mess free they are for snacks on the go. With this idea tho things can get a little messy and i should also add that Bodhi is nearly 5 and he understands that he needs to chew them before he swallows ( I used to cut them in half for him until only a few months ago ) 

For this you will need 

grapes ( any colour you like and as many or few as you feel your family will eat these will keep for 2-3 days in the fridge in a air tight box) 

chocalote ( again the choice is yours we found milk & white works best tho ) 

nuts ( none salted and once again any you and your family like, we used a mixed bag ) 

cocktail sticks 

Steps 

1) Wash your hands! ( 1st rule of cooking )

2) pop a hand full of nuts into a sandwich bag and with a rolling pin let your child give it a good bashing until the nuts are crushed ( But not dust )

3) melt chocolate ( i find the easiest way to do this is in 30 second blasts in the micovwave ) 

4) place your ingreadions in a little line ( Grapes/ Melted chocolate/ Nuts ) 

5) stabb a grape with a cocktail stick pop into the melted chocolate then into the nut then place it onto a plate covered in grease proof paper ) 

6) once finished place the whole plate into the fridge for around and hour for the chocolate to set 

7) ENJOY 

Organix , Simple , Tasty , child friendly recipes

When Organix got in touch with me asking if id like some products sent to Bodhi i said yes straight away, From when Bodhi was tiny we have brought their products.

Starting from 4-6 months  ( stage 1 ) with smooth fruit pots and baby rice / porridge. We baby lead with Bodhi so didn't fully go in for the rices and porridge but the little fruit pots are fab! a great way to get your child to taste new and different fruits, they them move onto stage 2 with lumps and so on until we get to the stage Bodhi is now at the 12 months + this range is huge! Full of tasty treats that are not full of sugar and E numbers

This is the range we got sent out in the post and Bodhi was really keen to get tasting right away the gingerbread men were a clear winner in both mine and Bodhi's view, just the right size and full of flavour and no chocolate bean buttons in sight!! Bodhi thought it was great that his biscuits had different farm animals on and requested one of each for snack time during a playdoh afternoon 

Over on the organix website they have pages and pages of fun easy child friendly recipes to make and do at home with your child one of these recipes is these Easter biscuits ( Who wouldn't love them all year round tho right? ) They are super tasty and really easy to make , you can even freeze the mix for another day and top with what ever you like.

I am looking forward to trying out other recipes from the website and spending more time making yummy foods with Bodhi , we will also still be picking up items from the Organix range , They are stocked in all supermarkets and make perfect snacks for lunch boxes, days out , trips to the park and play dates to share with friends.
