Australia Day Cooking ~ Cheese and Vegemite Scrolls

I have seen the recipe for Cheese and Vegemite Scrolls around for awhile and have been meaning to make them. Since today is Australia Day it seemed only fitting to make them today!

The were super easy and the Toddler Timers had fun making them.

Ingredients:

Puff Pastry Thawed (we used 2 sheets)
Vegemite
Grated Cheese


Spread as much or as little vegemite as you like across the thawed pastry sheets.

Sprinkle with cheese.

Sprinkle until covered.

Master E quite impressed with his work!

Roll to form a spiral. (Next time we might not roll them so tight!)





Place on a baking tray covered in baking paper and bake at approx 180 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes or until golden.

Allow to cool and enjoy!

More Easy Toddler Cooking ~ Apricot Balls ~ No Bake

These school holidays the kids have been nagging me about cooking with them. I am always so reluctant, no idea why. Just the thought of cooking with a 3 and 4 year old makes me shudder. I finally gave in after watching an episode of Playschool where they made Apricot Balls. So here is our version. 
Very messy but so Toddler friendly and a little bit YUMMY too!

Ingredients

500g Dried Apricots Roughly Chopped
2 1/2 Cups of Dessicated Coconut
395g Can Condensed Milk
Extra Coconut for Rolling


Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

Then stir, (poking your tongue out helps mix!)

And stir some more

Until well combined 
Roll into balls and roll in extra coconut. (Wet hands helps). Refrigerate until firm and eat!!!
Yum!


These tasted great and were super easy. Will surely be making them again soo
