Personal pizzas – for a simple pizza idea just grab some small Lebanese bread rounds, set up a toppings bar and let the little ones customize their own individual pizza.

Healthy wraps – making wraps can be fun and super tasty.  Start with flour tortillas, add some sliced meat, cucumber, avocado, tomato, salad greens and chutney then wrap up with kitchen paper into a bundle of goodness!

Three ingredient brownies – who doesn’t love a decadent brownie and with just 3 ingredients you’ll be hard pressed to find an easier recipe than this one.  Simply mix 2 eggs with ½ cup of standard flour and then add the magic ingredient – 1¼ cups of Nutella.  Mix to a smooth batter, pour into a greased baking pan and pop in the oven at 180o C for 15 minutes.  Instant deliciousness!

Strawberry lemonade – for a fruity twist on a standard drink, throw a punnet of strawberries into the blender, strain and stir into lemonade.  Refreshingly simple and oh so good.

 

Go camping – indoors

You don’t need a tent to go camping and with just a few simple steps, you can turn an ordinary room into a land of adventure.  It’s easy for the kids to set up camp indoors by draping sheets over the couch or dining chairs then adding some blankets and cushions for extra comfort.  Or for an added challenge, turn the campsite into a multi-level pillow fort with tunnels and rooms by getting creative with furniture, pillows and fabrics.

For an extra touch, get the kids to make some decorative garlands by cutting star shapes from coloured or sparkly paper and then stringing them along the outside of the tent – a little star gazing in the great indoors!
