Anyone who is a parent will know, parenting is daunting. It is not for the weak hearted, and it is not an easy feat. From diapering to playtime arrangements and even feeding choices, it’s decisions, and more decisions!
We all want the best for our children. But we all also know that our little ones don’t behave like clockwork. They are not predictable all the time, and their food preparation can require a lot of effort, with very little thank you (not that they mean to be impolite in between).
So how do we get creative, and add a pinch of fun in the mix of preparing their snacks! And trying to keep it healthy too!
Recently I took some time off to stay home with my 3 year old and 1 year old … and voila! I adapted some easy recipes online with my little one’s milk powder. Kendamil infant formula is known to be made with full cream nutrients, and that makes it more usable for flour-based products like pancakes, and even products like ice-cream because their cream is rich, and yummy!
So if you are like me, and wondering how you can get your child some good yummy food without too much work, try these recipes! I hope you and your child enjoy the process as much as I did!
