Right now I am in the house of Tarla and Nathan and they have two little cuties: Emily and Nicholas. They are family to me and I have known the kids since they were in their "mommy belly.
This week I gave myself a mission of making them "fun food". Yesterday I made "pancake wraps" and today I made some little baskets full of goodies.

Today I filled them with a very "kids friendly" filling made of shredded chicken and vegetables but you can fill it with whatever you want - some of my favourite fillings are: avocado with fresh salsa and chicken, shredded chicken "Kratong tong" style and hummus with chorizo. They are an awesome option for entertaining.
I got in trouble because I added broccoli but overall it was a success and they ate heaps! The last few baskets they filled up themselves and next time I will let them fill their basket on their own (Nic was so proud of his baskets!).
So here we go... A pretty Kid's friendly dinner option. Enjoy it!!!
