Cheese Burgers is one of those great snacks that everyone loves. Though I am not too sure that we like what it does to our waist line!!
I make cheese burgers for my family about three times a month in summer and about once a month the rest of the year.
They go really well with some chips or onion rings and take very little time to prepare. In fact I don’t think it has ever taken me more than an hour and that includes adding the salad to the buns.

When we lived in England before relocating to the Algarve in Portugal we used to have a McDonalds once a month. But since moving to Portugal there isn’t a McDonalds as close by and we have adapted a much more healthier attitude so we have decided to challenge ourselves to some lovely homemade burgers that we can enjoy as a family.

As well as being a fun activity it will also mean that your children will feel comfortable in the kitchen which will leave them well equipped for looking after themselves when they leave home in years to come.
Unfortunately it is often the case that if children venture into their cooking parents workspace they end up getting shouted at and told to leave things alone. Imagine the difference if they are actually welcomed into the cooking workspace and actively encouraged to get involved.

If you want to create new memories for your kids or grandkids then this is your chance…
Ingredients:
6oz shortcrust pastry

2oz ground almonds
1 tbsp milk
Few drops of almond essence
flaked almonds to sprinkle on top
I personally love eating chicken nuggets and having a child means I have the chance to eat them even more. I prefer not to buy them pre-made though because the salt levels are sky high and they do not offer anything for a growing child.
However whenever you make your own they taste simply amazing and melt in your mouth as you take a bite. Though I should warn you now once you have sampled home made chicken nuggets you will never want to go back to the McDonalds chicken nuggets range again!!!

When I look back at my childhood the one bit of baking that I enjoyed doing the most was making pizza’s when my school friends came round for tea after school. It was wonderful making them from scratch and rolling out the dough before deciding what to put on top of them. There would be three or four of us yet each one of us would have a pizza that would look unique to us.
I have recently managed to get my hands on my mums pizza dough recipe and make a few adjustments whilst making a couple of pizzas with my son and here is the recipe just for my blog readers……
