Shrimp Fennel Summer Salad 😉
A lovely refreshing combo: shrimp (I buy them frozen and cooked, it’s a shortcut), fresh fennel, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, oranges, olives. I also added the orange zest and fresh basil. Lemon, olive oil and salt dressing.

Will the kids eat it?? 😉🤞🏻🤞🏻 I will let you know in the comments 😜

Easy Cherry Cake.
That's the season: cherries are at the top of their sweetness!! Perfect for snacking or for baking.
Yesterday I prepared a super easy cherry cake, delicately sweet and moist. Perfect for a summer treat :-)
You can find the video in my highlights and here below the ingredients.
Thank you @nwcherrygrowers for the awesome gift of such delicious cherries!!

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
5 T coconut oil
4 T butter, melted
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
15 oz. deep purple cherries, pitted. Save 12 for the decoration on top.

PROCEDURE:
Preheat the oven to 400F. Mix together the eggs with the sugar. Add the oil and butter. In a separate cup mix the flour with baking soda, baking powder and salt. Slowly combine the dry ingredients into the wet ones. Add the cherries. Transfer in a cake pan (9 inches diameter).
Decorate the top of the cake with some cherries. Bake to 400F for 45 minutes.

Can I have a snack?? I’m hungry, really really r

Can I have a snack?? I’m hungry, really really really hungry. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🥺🥺

Reply with a 👍🏼 if you are asked this question gazillion of times during the day 😆😆

With my kids (light eaters) I try to give light snacks and not too close to the main meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner). I experienced more than once that a big snack one hour before the main meal equals to a plate barely touched as their little tummies are already full. So, what to do if your little one is almost starving while you prepare the main meal?
As you know simply telling them that lunch/dinner will be ready in 5’ might not save you from a tantrum 🥴

Veggies! Yep, a colorful veggie snack has very high chances to be appreciated before the meal than after 😁
Cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, broccoli, snap peas...so many options to pick from!
We love cherry tomatoes and cucumbers. They are in season now and naturally super sweet.
For babies and toddlers make sure to cut the veggies in small pieces.

I also like to prepare a shared plate so that they can pick what they want. 😉

Happy light snacking!! 😊
