Healthy Snack Happy Housewife's Way

What is it that you do sometimes that is quick, healthy and tasty? Eggs sure, but when I do that egg scramble I go a step higher and use my Pizza technique to make a pizza from eggs. What I need Eggs, Cheese (mozzarella), tomato, oregano, and other topping that I might have whether veggies or ham. The only difference is that I cover it when cooking plus at very slow heat. It makes a perfect snack or just a light meal. You will enjoy it

Children Mixing their own fruit cocktails: Creativity in the Kitchen

You can never know childrens creativity until you let them do things. After school, a bit of play time and the child is all very tired but with homework to do there is not much time to waste. A mix of fruit juice is what my son came up with today, he never likes mango juice, so this last weekend I bought mango juice by mistake. When he came home from school and poured wrong juice into his glass and realised it was mango he went nooo...he thought of adding orange juice to see how the mix goes, plus with a bit of grenadine syrup to add some colour he loved it. Here is the look from that!

Kids are Heroes: Inspiring children to become involved in their communities

Dear Readers,

Children are the earth keepers of tomorrow, it is amazing how children come up with ideas they believe in to try change the world they live in. These ideas and hope of wanting to live in a better tomorrow pushed one child to start an organisation called YARH (young animal rescue heroes). The aim is to network with other children to create awareness for the environment and endangered children.

Today the work of YARH has brought a nomination to kids are heroes website. Luca says 'Growing up in Romania, Thailand have had the opportunity to learn many new things and different cultures, my coming to Kenya opened doors for me to start working.The future is our hands, we can protect what is around us or we can destroy the choice is all ours. Deep in my heart I know the choices we make will either build or break our beautiful environment. But, I realise that informed generations will make better choices to build our environment. This is the reason I chose to start YARH to help create awareness among children in Kenya about the environment and wildlife conservation and hopefully slowly we can be able to reach out to many more children from around the world. My challenge to you today is if there is anything positive you can do to help our environement, wildlife and neighbour please do it. '

Please take a minute go to http://www.kidsareheroes.org/heroes/Luca-Berardi.htm and give him a shout! And while you are there you can buy a brick to support the work of Kids are heroes they are doing amazing work over there.

By sharing and or leaving him a shout out it is encouraging many more children to come and practise what they believe in you will be surprised at how much kids can do.
