Wicked Wednesday

This weeks Wicked Wednesday links up with http://www.brummymummyof2.co.uk/, and is about pizza. We had two pizza experiences this week. The first was going out for a pizza lunch on Saturday where James took a lovely picture of Lily's full and feeling sick face, and the second was a pizza at home day where Daisy was making some gorgeous faces!!!


Mummy I ate too much pizza!!!



I am sooo happy to be eating my pizza!!!

 

Super Easy Speedy Fajitas.

These are such a yummy (and quite healthy) dinner for Lily and Daisy. But best of all super easy and really quick.

I bought cooked chicken strips and sliced peppers, put them on a baking tray with some mixed herbs and pepper and put into the oven until warmed through. Served it in a tortilla wrap with some rice and tortilla chips. Then I chopped up some cucumber to serve and ready to eat! This is my go to dinner when we are late home from a day out, or on dance class days.

What do you cook for a quick and easy dinner????

Junk Space Rocket

 

My gorgeous Lily brought home a fabulous space rocket from nursery today (Currently she is running around the living room with it screaming VROOOOOOOMMMM!!!! at the top of her lungs). She can see such amazing adventures in everyday things, what an inspiration to us all to really look at things before we throw them away. Well done Lily! x

Beading fun!

We made some with beads. I put the beads out in a tray with little compartments, and some elastic that's cut to size.
I usually tie a bead at the end, so they don't fall off when the girls start to thread.
Threading small beads is great for those fine motor skills and hand to eye coordination.
This activity is a fantastic opportunity to discuss colours and patterns. Lily created a repeating colour pattern on one of her bracelets, which is a key early maths skill. We also counted the beads as we put them on, and talked about the different shapes and sizes of the beads.
Lots of fun, and lots of learning!

Baby clothes rag wreath.

We had a lovely day out at the beach last week. We played in the sand, built castles, played football, and enjoyed some chips! It also gave me some time to sit and tie my rags onto my wreath. I had cut strips from my two little girls old baby clothes, to make a memory wreath. It is hard to throw away their tiny things as they grow up so I have cut lots of squares out of them to make up a quilt (this may take me some time), and used the leftovers on this wreath.

 

Cinamon hot cross bun french toast.

We made a yummy treat fro our left over (slightly stale) hot cross buns. Hot cross bun cinnamon French toast. It was delicious, and Lily has been asking for more ever since. It was a hit with Daisy who tried to lick the plate.

 

The Recipe (Makes enough for 4)

 

Ingredients

2 Hot cross buns

2 Eggs

2 tsp. Cinnamon

2 tbsp. Sugar or Sweetener

A dash of Milk

Frylight (I love this stuff, stops things being too greasy)

Strawberries (To serve, but bananas are good too)

Ice-Cream (To serve)

 

Method

• Beat the eggs, cinnamon, milk and sugar in a large shallow bowl.
• Cut the hot cross buns in half and dip them into the egg mixture.
• Warm up the frying pan and spray with frylight.
• Fry the hot cross buns until golden
• Serve warm with the strawberries and ice-cream.



Give them a try, they were really good!

Any other tips for using up hot cross buns after Easter??
