I like to cook and try new things...but I also like to keep it simple. I have a 1 year old to look after, so I don't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen. And with having a toddler, I try to find healthy, good tasting foods that we all can enjoy. I may not have the best photography on my page, I may not always have a successful dish, and they might not all be from scratch. My goal is to share with you what I try, what I like, and maybe even what just doesn't work. Hope you like it :)

Liv's Favorite Lunch
My daughter has developed a few favorites in her 13 months of life. :) She loves yogurt, apples, and cookies. And recently she has developed a love for a super simple lunch item. Crescent roll ups. I make a batch and it lasts a few days (if daddy doesn't eat them all). It takes roughly 15 minutes from start to finish...and you can sneak some healthy veggies in there too. Or make them fruity for breakfast.
Ingredients:
1 can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
16 thin slices of lunch meat
4 slices of cheese cut in halves
cut up veggies, broccoli, carrots,spinach...whatever you fancy
Preheat oven as directed on the package. Unroll the dough and separate into triangles (makes 8).
Place one half of a cheese slice on the dough, then 2 slices of meat, then veggie.
Roll them up and place on a cookie sheet. TIP: sometimes the cheese spills out during cooking. For easy cleanup, line your cookie sheet with foil.
Bake as directed on package (10-12 minutes). Let them cool before serving because they are very hot!
That's it! Super easy and pretty yummy. Toddler approved. :)
Cheers!
