Fun Making Pizza At Home


My children loves to eat pizzas. However when it comes to choosing the toppings, each got their own preferences. It is a big hassle when we place an order for home delivery. Occasionally I make pizzas at home to make the children happy. Although the pizza I make at home is not perfect like the ones we eat at the restaurant, the children don't mind at all and they don't make a big issue about it, as they get to work on their own pizza with their choice of topping. My young sons like their share of the pizza with pepperoni and cheese, my  youngest girl, who is  a vegetarian relishes her pizza with veggies and without any cheese. Whereas my oldest daughter, husband and I love the spicy variety with a lot of bell peppers. Whenever I make pizza at homethe children are very delighted. They help me knead and roll out the dough and with a great sense of responsibility assemble their own toppings, which I help sort out. This is only kitchen chore the children do with a lot of excitement and eagerness. It's fun getting the children actively involved albeit the messy aftermath.

Fruit Salad


Fruit is a healthy food and recognized as a wholesome meal.Many eat fruits for breakfast or as a dessert after a meal.When my favourite fruits are in season I love to make fruit salad .At other times I use whatever fruits I have in my refrigerater.In my Home country  fruit salad is n’t complete without fruits like papaya,bananas pine apple and mangoes.The fruits you choose to make the salad should be fresh and  perfectly ripe. Most fruits are available throughout the year. Apples,grapes and pears also make mouthwatering fruit salads.The dressing for the fruit salad is a syrup made with sugar and water. The perfect touch  is to chill the salad well before serving. Children enjoy fruit salad with  a scoop of ice cream.
