Keeping the kids entertained while I prepare dinner is a real challenge around here. There is so much activity and so many people looking for attention I find I need some real strategies in place to get food on the table! The other night we were having fresh peas with dinner and I was reminded of a very old school solution.
Kids love shelling peas, and it is actually really useful. They also enjoy eating food they have helped prepare so the trifecta is they get a tummy of green veggie goodness with dinner!
So give it a try mums and dads out there – a bag of fresh peas and you can’t go wrong!

That saves me. Tnahks for being so sensible!
