    I’ll have to give those fritters a try. I hope the kids enjoy the party!

    Ooh, yum, I’ll have to take a look at that!

    After having the most frustrating pattern altering session, I have turned my attention back to the baby and her much needed summer wardrobe. I have cut out and am sewing a butterfly top and skirt and hope to have both complete tonight when I embark on an all night sewing stint seeing as neither the infant or myself are sleeping well right now!

  • Thank you so much, there are loads of ideas here! I’m going to be looking back at this thread for cooking for the next few weeks!

    I’m going to do Lady E and her chum broccoli tots for their tea tomorrow, and a selection of picky bits for the party.

    I’m going pretty low key on it, there will only be 4 kids and I’ll be back at work full time.…[Read more]

    I haven’t been on the forums much lately so I’m not sure if this is new or if that’s how it always worked.

    ETA: And of course it didn’t do that this time. Ok, then the post I noticed it in was the “What are you sewing…[Read more]

    I finished Sofia’s chocolate biscuit shirt in time for Picture Day and she said all her friends wanted to eat her up when she wore it.

    I have ordered more pink twill to make a new pair of Field Trip pants for her. She loved the old pair so much (as did I) I decided to track down some of that pink twill. It won’t be here for a few more days so I…[Read more]

  • lattemama replied to the topic Flickr troubles? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

    No, but seriously – the speed of a click is not something you can control – you either click or you don’t.

    My guess is Flickr is having server issues and the photos where you can’t comment are on affected servers whereas pictures that work are on healthy servers. Give it a day or two and try again.

    Such nice ideas. I will be using some of them to make the lunchbox for my 3-yo more attractive. I’ll be trying the broccoli tots for sure (he also has dairy allergy, so I will copy the modifications :-)), the english muffin pizzas and and … I think I will make a list to hang in the kitchen. Thanks for the ideas and links!!

    To add something: we…[Read more]

    Some great ideas here!

    A ‘fun’ dessert I make for parties is ‘frogs in mud puddles’

    Small cups half filled with chocolate custard with plump greens grape ‘frogs’ hiding in it.

    Serve with a wee spoon.

    I know this is going to sound ridiculous (I mean, it’s toddlers), but google ‘broccoli tots.’ Never mind that my 14-month-old likes them (which he does, to the point of ignoring anything else on his plate), but *I* like them. Which, if you knew me, is truly miraculous. They are the only form in which I will eat broccoli, and I’ve tried ’em all.…[Read more]

  • Yay! I’m glad you went for it, doesn’t it feel great to try something big?

  • Sarvi replied to the topic Toddler Party Food in the forum Group logo of Cooking and BakingCooking and Baking 10 years ago

    Tons of great ideas above. I think the parents will appreciate having some healthy options and the kids will probably not especially notice anything but the cake. How much work do you want to put into it?

    I make this semi often and it is a big hit, but it’s a fair amount of work. You can make it go much quicker by using premade puff pastry and…[Read more]

    Fried rice springs to mind, although it is strictly a sit down at the table thing to eat, I know my kids loved it when they were very small.

    Does vegetarian mean no eggs and milk products too?

    If eggs are allowed, I would do little curried egg centres and of course include it with the fried rice.

    Zucchini slice! It is seriously delicious. I was…[Read more]
