Introducing your child to cooking is pretty simple. The main thing is to choose the correct and simple recipes.

Cheese and strawberry sandwich

Sliced strawberries and cream cheese make a great sandwich filling. You can eat it for breakfast or take it with you to school.

Breakfast biscuits

Truly gourmet breakfast biscuits that will satisfy even the most discerning eaters.

Ingredients

• 1 cup walnuts
• 1½ cups rolled oats;
• ¾ cups of whole grain flour;
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ spoon of baking soda;
• ½ pack of butter;
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons of flaxseed
• finely grated orange peel;
• ½ teaspoon salt;

Preparation

Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Place parchment paper on two baking sheets. Roast walnuts in one for 8 minutes, then let cool.

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Using a separate mixer, beat the butter, sugar, flaxseed, zest, salt and cinnamon. Add yogurt, egg and mix.

Then add the oatmeal mixture, dates and walnuts and stir again. Place the mixture on a second baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes.

Simple carbonara

This quick and easy Italian dish will make any dinner unforgettable and will definitely relieve you of the urge to order something.

Ingredients

• 400 g spaghetti;
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 6 slices of bacon;
• 4 eggs;
• ½ cup grated cheese;
• ½ teaspoon salt;
• ½ teaspoon pepper.

Preparation

Cook the spaghetti in salted water until al dente. Then add the peas to the spaghetti and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the pasta and peas from the pan, and leave in ½ cup of the resulting broth.

Fry the bacon in a skillet for 8 minutes. This leaves you with fat. You will need 2 tablespoons.

Whisk eggs in a bowl, add cheese, fat, broth, salt and pepper. Mix pasta and bacon.

• ½ pack of penne;
• 300 g frozen broccoli;
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Preparation

Beat eggs in a bowl. In another bowl, combine grated Parmesan and bread crumbs. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dip in the egg and roll in the parmesan and breadcrumbs mixture. Fry in a skillet for 2-4 minutes on each side.

Preheat oven to 230 degrees. Pour a glass of tomato sauce into the bottom of a baking dish. Then lay out the breast, top with the remaining sauce and sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is melted.

While the chicken is cooking, boil the penne until al dente and broccoli. Combine them in one saucepan, add olive oil and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Serve the breasts with penne and broccoli.
