A Bowl Of Soup Keeps The Doctor Away

Last evening my youngest  was feeling a bit  lethargic and  was not in a mood to do anything.Later when I checked him I knew he was coming in for a cold. And when he got the cold it was really nasty and he lost his appetite as well.Before he went to bed I made him inhale steam.This morning his cold  was terrible.I did n't want to give him doses of medicine ,instead I made him a fresh  bowl of  chicken and mushroom soup.

I already had a packet of instant mushroom soup.I poured the contents in the packet onto a pan with a litre of water.I brought this to a boil.To that I added  a cup of  chicken broth, a few pieces of boiled chicken,a few diced carrots and a little bit of cauliflower florets.Then I added a pinch of  salt and pepper.I let it simmer in the pan .While still warm I served it to my son.

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 home, the 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.
