School’s out! 3 kid-friendly culinary creations for the summer holidays
Are you ready for the summer holidays? If that’s not a
resounding yes, you’re not alone – it can be challenging to find activities to
keep your kids entertained all summer long. And with a not-so-sunny-and-hot
weather forecast coming up over the next two weeks, it can be even more
difficult when you’re stuck indoors. Luckily, we’re here to help on those soggy
Manchester days. Read on to discover some delightful kid-friendly culinary
creations that’ll engage your little ones this summer.
DIY Pizzas
Get ready to unleash your creativity (and some mess on your
kitchen countertops!) with our DIY pizza kits. Fresh from the deli, our Dough It
Yourself pizza making kits lets your kids take charge of making their very
own pizzas from scratch, with Romana, Vesuvio and Diablo sauces to choose from.
Our greengrocer
range also offers an array of fresh veggies to pile on the pizza. When it
comes to topping the pizza, the more inventive the better – think tomatoes for
eyes, a mushroom for a button nose and a slice of pepper for the mouth. Getting
in their five-a-day has never been more fun!
Perfect pancakes
Pancakes aren’t just reserved for Shrove Tuesday - they’re
perfect for whipping up over the school holidays and a fab breakfast option that
kids absolutely love. Let your little ones get involved in the mixing process,
and with your supervision, even try their hand at flipping pancakes (let’s just
hope they avoid the ceiling!). Our banana pancakes recipe
is the perfect starting point, and you can up the nutritional value by adding
healthy toppings such as fresh fruit and yogurt.
Traffic light chicken shish kebabs
Ready, set, go! Spark some summer excitement with these
scrumptious chicken and pepper shish kebabs from BBC
Good Food. This delightful recipe is a feast for the senses – both visually
and for your taste buds, with a traffic light of red, yellow and green skewered
peppers.
The chicken brings the flavour so make sure they’re
marinated in plenty of time. Our tender free
range chicken fillets are perfect for marinating in a flavourful blend of
herbs and spices before you skewer them alongside the peppers – grab a red,
yellow
and green,
handpicked from local markets and available from our Best of Local range. Grill
them to perfection until they’re charred. Offer some chillies or chilli sauce
on the side for those who like spice and serve with flatbread.
