First Tomato This Season

I know we're far behind many other British bloggers, but I'm still pleased that yesterday we've had our first ripe tomato this season.

 I say "we" had, but I think Ev beat us all to it really. 

She's really not been a fan of supermarket tomatoes over the winter and spring and quite often turns them down, but this one she kept saying how nice it was and "thanks Dad" the whole time! I think it was a success!

I wonder how good they are? The only trouble I've got now is keeping her out of the greenhouse! 

"Grown Up" Potatoes

My sliced, roast, rosemary and garlic potatoes have become one of the staples of my weekly cooking lately, but the other night I thought I should try and make them a bit more child friendly. Not by cutting back on the flavour though!

Cookie cutters with potatoes (in fact these are from her play-doh set!)

 I raided my little girls play-doh set and found some of the different shaped cutters in there and used these on slices of potatoes. So simple I don't know why I hadn't thought of it before! 

Both parts of the potato add a bit of interest and give more crispy edges!

Plenty of rosemary and garlic to be cut up fine and mixed with a cold pressed rapeseed oil

The finished thing

When I brought them out I got a "Wow Dad" which is always nice (even if she sometimes says the same thing when I get her a cup of water!), but I thought this idea is a fun way to get kids to eat home made cooking and, although simple, I thought I'd put it on here. 

Anyone else do something similar?
