Kids Cooking - food ideas to make with your kids

Friday, August 13th, 2010

Kids Cooking

Cooking is a popular activity at Holiday time. Children just love to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in whether it is reading the recipes, weighing the ingredients, washing and preparing the foods, there are so many varied jobs to do.

We have had a couple of cake afternoons when the weather hasn’t been that great and it’s a great way for kids to learn about weights and measurements - as well as get a little bit messy too!

You’ll need to be on hand to supervise the chopping and placing the food into the hot oven. There is nothing more pleasing than eager ears waiting to hear the oven buzzer go off and the automatic reply ‘It’s ready!!’

Here’s a couple of easy to follow recipes that you can make with your children.

The cheese scones are great for snack time and the sausage & bean pot makes a delicious main meal.

Cheese Scones ready in 30 minutes

The cheese scones can be served with the sausage & bean main course or are also ideal in a packed lunch.

Ingredients (makes 10 scones)

40g Butter
225g Self-raising flour
1 Level tsp baking powder
Pinch salt
Handful fresh herbs, chopped
125-150ml Milk
40g Cheddar cheese, grated

Grease a baking tray. Sieve the flour and baking powder into a bowl. Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the salt, herbs, milk and ¾ of the cheese.
Get the kids to knead the dough until it is smooth. Lightly pat the dough until it is approx 3cm thick.
Cut out the scones, this can be done using an up turned plastic cup dipped first in flour. Put the scones on the baking tray. Brush tops with a little milk and sprinkle over the remaining cheese. This will give the scones a nice crisp coating.
Cook in a preheated oven (220 oC/425 oF/Gas Mark 7) for 8 to 10 minutes until risen and golden. Adjust temperature for fan ovens.

Main meal - Sausage & bean pot ready in 40 minutes

Whilst the cheese scones are baking, you can start cooking the main meal.

Ingredients (serves 4)

Olive oil
8 Sausages
6 Rindless bacon rashers, chopped
2 Garlic cloves, crushed
700ml Passata (or use 2x 400g tins chopped tomatoes)
400g Tin of cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 tbsp Smoked paprika (1/2 tbsp if you prefer mild flavours)
1 tbsp Dark brown sugar
1 Onion, roughly chopped

Heat a little oil in a large pan, add the sausages and gently cook for 10 minutes until evenly browned, then remove from the pan.
Add the chopped bacon and onion and cook for 5 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for a further minute.
Pour in the passata, add the beans, paprika and sugar, then season and mix well. The paprika in this dish will add a sweet and smoky flavour that kids love.
Return the sausages to the pan, bring to a simmer and cook everything together for a further 15 minutes.

As with all recipes you can experiment a bit and substitute ingredients with other items or add extra vegetables to make a substantial meal.

Additional ideas and inspiration for kid and cooking can be found on BBC Good Food website, and UK TV.

If your children often take a packed lunch to their friend’s house or off to Holiday Club / Summer Camp it’s a good idea to label items so they don’t get lost.

At Simply Stuck we have a great range of colourful personalised self-adhesive stickers, fun tags and shape stickers ideal for lunch boxes, drinks bottles and rucksacks.

Check our online site to see the fantastic designs and see how easy it is to order and customise these inexpensive personalised labels.

Pollen forecast in UK

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Hay Fever

We are all enjoying the dry summer weather, however, for many it can be a miserable time. As many as one in four people in the UK are affected by hay fever, an allergy to pollen or spores. Hay fever is a common condition that affects the nose, sinuses, throat and eyes and symptoms include sneezing, a runny nose, and itchy eyes. Trees, grass and plants release pollen into the air as part of their reproductive process whilst mould and fungi also release tiny spores.

Those allergic to grass pollen are more likely to experience symptoms in the months of June and July when the pollen count is at it highest during dry warm weather and less so when it is wet or cold weather. It is a good idea to keep your windows closed in the early morning and late afternoon, when the pollen tends to rise and to shower and change when you get home as pollen can cling to your clothing and hair.

Simply Stuck has identified a few resources on the web which may help you.

Advice from the NHS

Hay fever cannot be cured completely, but there are a number of treatments available to relieve the symptoms. The NHS website has a short 3 minute video with an expert explaining how hay fever is diagnosed, its symptoms and recommended treatment.

Pollen Calendar

Most sufferers can lead a normal life without undue lifestyle restrictions but it does help to be aware of when the pollen is released. There is a free pollen calendar available that details the pollen production months for various types of trees, grasses, crops and weeds, including the peak periods. Note the timings and levels will vary from year to year depending on the weather and location.

Allergy Alert Stickers for Hay Fever

Allergy stickers

To alert carers and teachers to your child’s allergy, Simply Stuck have introduced Allergy Alert stickers which are ideally suited for labelling travel bags and medication packs. Labels can detail a maximum of 4 different allergies.

You can buy an Allergy Alert Stickers pack with 35 labels. Ordered easily and quickly online from Simply Stuck with delivery within 3 working days.

Blackboard Stickers

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

We always knew that Family life was going to be different. But I’m not sure we expected the kind of chaos that ensued.

There seems a never-ending list of “stuff” that we needs to be looked at, bought and remembered. Everything ranging from, remembering kids activities; picking up milk on the way home from work; the car needing an MOT; School trips, uniforms need cleaning and so it goes on.

Now I am not suggesting that any one product will help save all those chores from being slipped from your memory. But some can help.

Take for instance the Blackboard Sticker from Simply Stick. It’s a simply fun way of writing down your very important lists.

Blackboard stickers

They come in 5 different shapes, which include; the Circle pack, the Hen, speech bubble, shopping trolley, and the square pack. They are all peel and stick and are supplied with chalk and a duster.

The square and Circle pack come win a set of 4.

Now , what was I supposed to remeber to get on the way home from work?????

: Circle blackboard stickers

: Hen blackboard stickers

: Shopping trolley blackboard stickers

: Speech bubble blackboard stickers

: Square blackboard stickers

If your family is anything like mine then a little bit of chaos is always present.

Class Water Bottle Stickers

Friday, April 30th, 2010

At Simply Stuck we know that children enjoy sweet or fizzy drinks and it’s much more of a challenge to get the kids regularly drinking plain water. And yet drinking plenty of water is so important for good health. The body needs water to regulate body temperature, to provide the means for nutrients to travel around the body, to help in the removal of waste, and to protect joints and organs.

At school children are encouraged to drink extra liquids, particularly when participating in outdoor activities, and supplies of bottled water are usually on hand. However making sure everybody gets their share, controlling hygiene, and generally keeping an eye on whose is whose can be a nightmare for hard pressed teachers.

Simply Stuck noticed a gap in the market after receiving many requests for label stickers for classroom or sports water bottles. Simply stuck can produce class/group sheets of name stickers that can be printed white text on a choice of red, green or blue background. An added benefit is that these versatile name stickers are 100% heat and water proof and will not fade.

Class water bottle stickers

The Class Water Bottle stickers are easy to order on-line, all we require is the list of names to be printed. You can supply by email up to 40 different names on an Excel or Word document and each name will be repeated 3 times.

The bottle sticker are ideal for schools and groups and measure 54mm x 9mm. The 40 name pack size is priced at £12.00.

If you need to stock up on Budget, Value and Domestic Label Combi Packs they are also

Sticker Combi Pack

available online from Simply Stuck. Your order will be sent out first class, and will usually be with you within 3-5 working days, subject to availability.
