Oats are a cereal that has a very high nutritional value and we can serve it in many ways. This recipe is the best for us: We cut an apple into small pieces, in a pan put the apple and a ts of honey and heat until it is caramelized then sprinkle cinnamon then add the oats and stir a little and finally put a cup of milk until it boils and itis ready. You can present it to your child from the eighth month, making sure of each item separately, without honey, and with honey after the first year.

Most children refuse vegetables at a certain time. This recipe is great for inserting some vegetables without discovering them. Most kids love pizza so this was the hidden vegetable pizza recipe. The base of the pizza will be from potatoes. Grate the potatoes and put on them a tablespoon of whole wheat flour, oatmeal, or any healthy flour you use, an egg, a sprinkle of salt, and any spice you like. Spread it in the pizza tray and the filling is anything you like, but to make a full meal I put homemade basturma and cheddar cheese, pieces of green pepper, small tomatoes, and olives. Bake it and enjoy it with your kids, it is so yummy.
