I don't know about all of you but in the summer I HATE turning on the stove, so baking a snack with my son is basically a no go.  Two yrs ago as a gift I received an ICE CREAM MACHINE...I am a huge sweets fan but I also have high cholesterol so I started experimenting. My son helps me all the time with it and at the same time is learning a bit of science as he watches the liquids turn into solids right before his eyes...We make sorbets, low-fat ice creams, and ices all %100 natural no preservatives so its much better for you then most store bought and SO EASY...My son loves it and its a great way to make him a treat during those hot summer days...Just get the "container" out of the freezer, put it in the base, put in the ingredients, turn on and 30 minutes later its done and ready to serve....

my daughter has been helping me make gazpacho lately.  all you need is a blender and a not-too sharp knife for chopping.  at eight, she can easily cut things like cucumbers with no problem.

gazpacho ingredients--take all these items, chop coarsely and let you little one throw them in the blender and press the buttons:

6 or 7 ripe tomatoes
1 big cucumber
some sprigs of basil, a bunch of cilantro or parsley
handful of chives
1 red bell pepper
some crushed garlic
juice from one fresh lime
a splash of balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

there's not a hard and fast way to make gazpacho, so have fun letting your kids alter the portions so you can concoct your family's own special brand.  serve chilled with a basil leaf garnish.

sweetcorn and cheese fritters

1/2 cup of flower (sifted)

1 cup grated cheese

1 can drained corn kernals

1 egg

combine and cook for 2minutes on both sides

my son loves this recipe and can almost make it by himself

just wondering if anyone has any lunch box ideas that are healthy and fun i can use for my kids?  they arent real fussy eaters and love trying new things, would appreciate it if some one has some reciepes or suggestions to share with me.

Hi guys, Here's a sandwhich that my son loves. It's philly cheese (the spreadable kind) and fruit medley. Combine about 2 tablespoon of philly and a handful of the fruit in a bowl and spread onto bread. It's enough to make 2 sandwiches.

Thanks for the invite.  What an awesome group.  Thank you for inviting me.

Flapjacks are one of my personal favourites to make, it meets my sweet tooth and is a great treat for kids and guests.
