Toddler Meal

In order to reduce the risk of toddlers choking, sausages (and hot dogs) should be cut into thin strips lengthwise and then chopped into small bite-size pieces crosswise.

• In a small pot of boiling water, bring pasta to a boil.
• Just before pasta has finished cooking, add the green beans.
• Cook beans for approximately 5 minutes and pasta until it is cooked al dente.
• Drain pasta and beans.
• Serve pasta with a dab of butter and creamy dill dressing.

• Pour cookie crumbs into a mixing bowl.
• Add the melted butter and stir the mixture until the crumbs are evenly moistened with butter.
• Transfer the crumbs to an 8-inch spring form pan or pie dish.
• Using your fingers, press the crumbs evenly over the bottom of the pan and freeze for 15 minutes.
• Alternatively, omit steps 1 – 4 above by using an Oreo pie crust bought from the supermarket.
• Spoon the (slightly) softened ice cream on top of the crumb crust, pressing it down firmly with a spatula.
• Cover with aluminum foil and freeze at least three hours or overnight.
• If using a spring form pan, run knife around the inside edge of pan and release collar from the pan.
• Using a tube of icing with tip, decorate the top of the Father’s Day golf-themed cake by writing Dad a special message i.e. #1 Dad.
• Have kids make a flag for the hole, using a popsicle stick for the post and construction paper for a flag.

Good to know: If sticking with the golf theme, try to find a mint chip ice cream that is darker green in colour.
