FISH WITH CREAMY SPINACH AND SPRING ONION SAUCE  

1 packet of either cod or haddock fish fillets washed

salt/pepper to taste

1 tbsp butter 

2 tbsp olive oil

3 blocks of frozen spinach or a hand full of fresh chopped (I used frozen today)

7 fl oz of single cream

1 bunch spring onions chopped small

In a frying pan drizzle olive oil and add fish, sprinkle salt and pepper and cook. Meanwhile in a pot melt butter, add onions and lightly soften, add spinach, once frozen spinach has melted add some salt and pepper to taste then the single cream and stir until sauce begins to boil. Once fish is cooked place on dish and pour some of the sauce over it and serve, additional sauce can be used as a pour on sauce. serve with boiled potato's seasoned and veggies.

Both my kid's who hardly eat spinach really enjoyed it today so give it a try with your kids.

Lamb Dhansak

100g red lentils
250g carrots cut the chunks
2 onion sliced
1 tin chopped tomato
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp dhanya powder
2 tsp cardamon seeds
2 tsp garam masala
3 red chilli's sliced
2 tsp crushed ginger
2 tsp crushed garlic
1 lb lamb cubes
coriander to garnish

Add all of the above (except for the lamb, garlic, chilli and ginger) to a pot and add water just enough that it covers the ingredients and simmer for about 25-30 min. In a separate add 2 tbsp of oil, add the rest of the ingredients and cook until meat is nearly cooked then add this to the lentils and cook until the meat is fully cooked. Garnish with coriander leaves.

Sandwich Pocket's

This is a quick lunch box treat.

Pitta naan

potato's boiled and smashed about 1 or 2

sweetcorn

cheese 

salt and pepper to taste

red/green pepper

Basically the above ingredients are just rough estimates which you should be able to judge yourself.

To the smash add all the ingredients and combine well then cut the pitta in half so you have two pockets, open the cut part and spoon the filling in and in a non stick frying pan brush both sides with some oil using a pastry brush or you can use your fingers and pan fry them slightly just sot he cheese melts. These can be eaten hot or cold so lunch times can be fun. Plus be creative and add any type of filling you like after all there are five day's in a week and thinking of what to give for each day can be a nightmare.

Should children help us in the kitchen?????

As a Montessori teacher I often get asked 'how can we help our child at home with Numeracy and Literacy?' and often my answer would be 'let them help you in the kitchen/home' the respond is 'you are kidding, what MESS, who will clean it up?........'. 

when a child enters nursery (a Montessori nursery) the first skills introduced will be the 'Practical Life Skills' these skills are the link to home and nursery. So what is Practical Life skills? well basically it is any type is physical activities which will help a child develop their motor skills, cognitive development, self confidence, personality and most important independence. And yes we mum's would love our children to be independent. 

So how can we help our child develop these skills?

Let them free in your home, let them be part of the family, by this I mean let them help Daddy with what he maybe doing eg: cleaning the garage, help Mummy pick up the toys. Don't let them be  in front of the TV, Computer or play games on play station as this is an easy option for most mother's especially working Mum's as they are tired and need to get dinner ready and having your child in the kitchen will only make things worse. Am I right? I'm sure most of you will say yes, don't worry even I have done that in the past when time is of an essence. 

Learning through play is the best way a child can learn, if it's fun, colourful and creative then a child will learn. You must remember children are smarter then you think, they learn through WATCHING, hey doesn't this ring a bell?.... in the play ground most if not all boy's play fight and where do you think they have learnt that from?....does the TV sound familiar? so I think you know what I mean but in this case we want them to watch us, yes us folding the clothes, picking up the toys, sweeping the floor and hey the list can just go on and on and on.....

So going back to my question. invite your child to help you as well as in the home but in the kitchen also, how? let them count the potato's, set the table, wash the spoons, fold the towels. take it one step further and let them help you cook, make cake's, smash the potato's, grate the cheese....and so on, don't worry about the mess they can help you clean it up this will teach them what mess they make they clean up. This is how we teach them at school so why can't it work at home?.

It is these skill's which will enable your child to become more independent and learning them becomes fun because you add in the numeracy of counting, measuring,sorting etc and the language will become more effective 'add the egg's then the flour' 'can you pass me the dustpan and brush please....thank you'. think of the child being introduced to manners and etiquette, if you speak to your child in a soft tone and polite manner then that is what they will pick up and speak to you in that same manner. And most important of all think of the bond you will build between you and your child. Ask yourself 'do they need the TV if they have you?'.

To follow soon:

BENEFITS OF DATES

VERSE FROM THE QURAN ON FOOD

And it is He Who produces gardens trellised and untrellised,

And date-palms, and crops of different shape and taste and olives, and pomegranates, similar (in kind) and different (in taste).

Eat of their fruits when they ripen, but pay the due thereof on the day of its harvest,

And waste not by extravagance.

Verily, He likes not those who waste by extravagance.

(6:141)

Health benefits of dates

• Wonderfully delicious, dates are one of the most popular fruits packed with an impressive list of essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that are required for normal growth, development and overall well-being.
• Fresh dates compose of soft, easily digestible flesh and simple sugars like fructose and dextrose. When eaten, they replenish energy and revitalize the body instantly. For these qualities, they are being used to break the fast during Ramadan month since ancient times.
• The fruit is rich in dietary fiber, which prevents LDL cholesterol absorption in the gut. Additionally, the fiber works as a bulk laxative. It, thus, helps to protect the colon mucous membrane by decreasing exposure time and as well as binding to cancer-causing chemicals in the colon.
• They contain health benefiting flavonoid polyphenolic antioxidants known as tannins. Tannins are known to possess anti-infective, anti-inflammatory, and anti-hemorrhagic (prevent easy bleeding tendencies) properties.
• They are moderate sources of vitamin-A (contains 149 IU per 100 g), which is known to have antioxidant properties and essential for vision. Additionally, it is also required maintaining healthy mucus membranes and skin. Consumption of natural fruits rich in vitamin A is known to help to protect from lung and oral cavity cancers.
• They compose antioxidant flavonoids such as ß-carotene, lutein, and zea-xanthin. These antioxidants found to have the ability to protect cells and other structures in the body from harmful effects of oxygen-free radicals. Thus, eating dates found to offer some protection from colon, prostate, breast, endometrial, lung, and pancreatic cancers. 
• Zea-xanthin is an important dietary carotenoid that selectively absorbed into the retinal macula lutea.
• Dates are an excellent source of iron,  being a component of hemoglobin inside the red blood cells, determines the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.
• Further, they are very good in potassium. 100 g contains 696 mg or 16% of daily-recommended levels of this electrolyte. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that help controlling heart rate and blood pressure. They, thus, offers protection against stroke and coronary heart diseases.
• They are also rich in minerals like calcium, manganese, copper, and magnesium. Calcium is an important mineral that is an essential constituent of bone and teeth, and required by the body for muscle contraction, blood clotting, and nerve impulse conduction. Manganese is used by the body as a co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase. Copper is required for the production of red blood cells. Magnesium is essential for bone growth.
• Further, the fruit has adequate levels of B-complex group of vitamins as well as vitamin K. It contains very good amounts of pyridoxine (vitamin B-6), niacin, pantothenic acid, and riboflavin.
  
  
  SO WHY TAKE VITAMINS WHEN ALLAH HAS PROVIDED US WITH BEAUTIFUL DATES. ALLHAMDULILLAH.
  
  
  DO YOUR CHILDREN EAT DATES OR CAN THIS BE A STRUGGLE SOMETIMES?
  WELL HERE'S A QUICK AND EASY WAY TO MAKE DATES MORE INTERESTING FOR KID'S TO EAT.
  
  
  YOU NEED I PACK OF STONED DATES, CUT INTO HALF AND PLACE IN A PAN WITH A KNOB OF BUTTER (UNSALTED) USING THE BACK OF A SPOON MASH THE DATES IN THE BUTTER THEN ADD A HAND FULL OF CRUSH DIGESTIVE BISCUIT'S  AND COMBINE TOGETHER, IF U LIKE TO ADD MORE BISCUIT'S THEN YOU CAN.
