Veggie Fish Cakes. I tested the recipe and got thumbs up from the whole family. It'a a keeper and I'm filming it for the YT channel soon. Stay tuned! It's a great way to offer both veggies and fish to little ones. It's appropriate for baby led weaning and for adults too!

I used white fish + carrots + spinach + potato.

And as you can see it's a great idea for a lunchbox too!

On-the-go snacks. The countdown has officially started! We will leave for Italy in June. Can't tell you how long we have been waiting for this moment. That means a super long trip with multiple stops and consequently tons of snacks ready to be served.
But..what to bring? Here are my tips for on-the-go snacks for little ones:

- a mix of sweet and salted. It's nice to offer a variety of flavors.
- fruit and veggies for sure. Washed and chopped. Ready to eat. Berries are a great option, all together with apples, pears, cucumbers, snap peas, sweet bell peppers, green beans. I would keep the skin/peel for bananas, tangerines, and oranges. They are easy to serve even on-the-go. For the avocado I would cut it in half and then assemble it back for the trip so that you only need a spoon and not a knife (many airlines do not allow any kind of knife on board).
- chips, crackers of your choice
- healthy prepackaged snack combo. I love the options offered by @feel.sunnie They have fresh organic snacks that you can take with you and serve wherever you are. Tasty and healthy, kids approved. Created by two moms from L.A. Love it!
- yogurt. Never estimate the power of yogurt sticks. For a long trip I usually freeze them and use them as ice packs for the other food.
- cereals. Yep, dried cereals are a great on-the-go snack.
- avoid anything sticking, moushy or difficult to open/peel/serve. I would not take peaches (even cut they release too much liquid and get messy) nor pomegranate nor cherries (they stain too much, sorry). No to rice for me or couscous. Great at home but messy on-the-go.
- pasta. Yes! Pasta salads can be served cold and you only need a fork.

Are you looking for more on-the-go food ideas?
Which age group?

Let me know in the comments below, I will be happy to share more on this topic :-)

Let's celebrate Earth day every day! That's the pledge I did on April 22nd. I feel Earth Day is not only a big day to celebrate once a year, but a lifestyle that we can have 365 days a year. Small little things we can regularly do to preserve our wonderful Earth. Reusing plastic as much as we can, recycling all the packaging where products are sold, not wasting water, using washable lunch boxes at school...and I can keep going.
On top of everything...share this feeling with my kids and teaching them how to make environmentally friendly choices when possible.

Have a wonderful green day!
