Bellamy’s Organic. Novelty in Nutrition

I love cupcakes. My daughter loves them too. I bake and she decorates. On Valentine’s Day I posted on Facebook a picture of letters spelling out “I love you more than cupcakes”. We get it. They’re special.

So, what is it that is so appealing about a cupcake (as if I had to ask)??

Its individuality; its unique decoration of jewels and glitter; its references to fairies and parties;

beautiful and potentially elaborate packaging; colour and novelty – and it tastes delightful! Fluffy, spongy base with buttery, sugary topping… (nope, can’t be good for you).

Cupcakes are fun, they’re pretty and they make great tea parties. Even Nigella loves a cupcake and who can argue with The Domestic Goddess?

So, how can we take those attractions – those highlights of the cupcake experience – and apply them to healthy children’s meals? – put your skeptical expression away!

How about stuffing an organic tomato or squash, or teeny tiny pumpkin?

These too can make healthy little treasure boxes, full of colour, different every time, and packaged beautifully and uniquely. Just think – what would Heston do??

A simple method is to make an organic chicken and rice mix, scoop out the insides of a few small tomatoes and fill them with the chicken rice mix. Bake them in the oven with their caps on. Try different fillings each time!

Delight their eyes and their senses at meal times with the natural explosions of colour and flavour of nutritious organic food, and you may even distract them from the temptations of the cupcake!
