Savory Deviled Eggs
If your child likes eggs, then you cannot go wrong with this simple recipe. Hard boil eggs, remove the shell, cut into halves, and gently separate the white and yolk. In a bowl, using a fine wire mesh strainer, push the egg yolk to get a soft buttery texture filling that you can easily send through a cake icing pipe. To this egg yolk add salt, a little paprika, crushed black pepper, garlic powder, ranch, and some home-made mayonnaise. Mix well and pipe them into the egg whites. Sprinkle spring onion greens and crumbled feta cheese over the eggs as dressing and serve hungry kids as a snack.

Tomato Mozzarella Slabs
Whole-grain bread layered with the humble tomato and topped with mozzarella cheese is so inviting. Toast a few slices of bread and keep it aside. Heat a pan with olive oil, add finely cut garlic pods, and roast until they start to brown. Switch off the heat, transfer the garlic to a mortar pestle and pound a little. Now spread the succulent garlic over the toast, arrange some halved Roma tomatoes and baby mozzarella cheese balls over it. Spread tiny basil leaves, and sprinkle a little dried oregano and sea salt over the toast.
