Its not a recipe but a sure fire idea to make sure the kids get something into your belly when arsenic hour is upon you, your just to tired to cook and there is no freezer meal handy.
I relied on what we affectionately called the picky plate more than once a week when I was tired and in fact its what we having for dinner tonight. Its fast and often its a great way to use left overs and the kids love being able to help themselves at the table.
Put anything on it. Mine range from crackers, cheese, chopped up carrot, left overs, boiled eggs, beetroot~ tinned of course, peas, corn, olives, ham, salami, cooked pasta and sandwiches.
Anything. I have been known to stick peanut butter and hommas on the plat. Yum.
Its the tapas plate of the kid world.
The simpler the better. Its got to be better than a take away.

it really is just a lovely idea isnt it jade..I hope our picnics are memories that my boys keep forever too..xxD
I do once a week too Deb, we call it “snack platter”. Our range is usually grated cheese, carrot and apple, crackers, mini sandwhiches, dates/nuts/seeds (lucky both boys love them) and yoghurt. We sit in a circle in front of the tele or if its warm outside. I hope my boys have this as one of their many childhood memories so easy and fun!!
isnt it just perfect Ramona..the best type of dinner if you ask me..
