HEALTHY EATING

Our wee people can need some encouragement to eat a healthy varied diet.

Here are some ideas:

• Be a good role model.
• Get them involved in planning the weekly menu and then help with the shopping list.
• Let them get involved in the preparation of meals and snacks.

Here is an alternative to a dough base pizza,  as I know flour is difficult to access !!

HOMEMADE TORTILLA PIZZA WITH VEGGIE FACES

INGREDIENTS

1.  Tortilla
2.  Passata or tomato ketchup
3. Cheese
4.  Vegetables of choice

METHOD

1. Smooth the tomato sauce over the tortilla with a spoon
2. Scatter with cheese
3. Start making faces                                                                                                                          Choose whatever vegetables (or fruit) your children are willing to try

Courgette rounds make great eyes or cheeks, halved courgette rounds can be used                  for ears and spiralised courgette for hair. Strips of pepper are good for eyebrows and             mouths while olives and halved cherry tomatoes make great eyes or earrings.                             Sweetcorn can be used for teeth or freckles.                 Let their imagination go wild !!!

4. Place in the oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes.

ENJOY AND HAVE FUN AND BE HEALTHY
