With the weather lovely and the garden full of berries, my toddler saw an afternoon outside as all you can eat buffet time!
This meant that there wasn't a lot of point in serving much for dinner! We just made cheese on toast with a bit of tomato sauce mixed in and shaped it into a pig with some ham ears, cucumber eyes and tomato cheeks.
So how has our first full week gone of making fun plates every night? There have been a couple of nights where we asked ourselves if we could be bothered every day, but by the time we had cooked, it was easy enough to take a couple of minutes to make it into a shape. Has it made a noticeable difference? Yep! We are getting half hour to an hour of extra sleep every night, less waking in the morning with screaming and less running from the table in the first half of meal time. Will we carry on? Definitely!! I've ordered a couple of cookie cutters and will keep an eye out in the charity shops near me for some more.
