I love serving food in unusual ways. Creating a bit of excitement about a standard dinner and watching the kids’ faces light up and their enthusiasm for eating is worth the effort!
Using cupcake holders is a simple way of transforming a meal of mince/bolognese/lentils/beans/veges topped with mashed potato or vege purée into a feast. Kids love to eat small portions with a spoon, even if they end up eating a whole plateful!
Get creative with whatever you have on hand.
