Family Pizza
Family Pizza Night anyone?!Get the whole family involved, children, can help wash the veg, make the pizza base mixture, roll out the pizza and decorate them! This is a great way to encourage food acceptance as well. This can be a great family bonding night and has the added bonus of being a fake takeaway for the family! If you have a muffin tray and coloured cases/moulds place toppings in this and allow the kids to decorate their own pizza.You can tailor each pizza to each family need preferences. This is a good way to switch it up by trying veg in a different way. Be creative as you can be, make it a competition to see who has the best looking pizza! For babies, you can use crumpets as a base and add grated cheese, carrot, and passata on top and place them under the grill.Food Allergens: Milk (can use dairy free cheeses), gluten (you can use gluten free base options)
