Food that children really eat
















After two years of many attempts and failures I finally found out what really works and I picked up few recipes that I think children will love


Home make Hamburger

it's areally fun recipe that kids will enjoy doing their own mini hamburger


Components :
500 gram ground Beef
Salt
Black Pepper
1/2 cup of Soda
8 bread rolls of a bite side
ketchup / Mayonnaise / or any other Sauce that you like
1 chopped Tomatoes into 8 slices
4 leaves of Lettuce that are washed

The preperations:



Season the meat with salt and pepper and then add it to the Soda water while stirring and mixing.


Make 8 hamburgers out of the whole meat and make each hamburger flat and small as possible (my daughter prefer flat one) (Look at the photo)


I'd rather not fry the meat ina pan but instead i uses a Teflon pan that doesn't stick and heat it really well and then cook the meat in it with out oil until it is brown on both sides about 3 minutes each side.

Before serving arrange the vegetables and the sauces and the meat ina nice way on the table in individual plates so each child can make his hamburger.
