Summer is an ideal time to spend time with our children, experience things with them, and enjoy time as a family. There are many things to do together. Here we have gathered some of the things we would most like to do with the little ones in our home.
Many mothers wonder if their baby can eat broccoli. The answer is yes, and broccoli is a great source of vitamins and helps strengthen the immune system. Several studies point out that the sulphur in broccoli helps broaden babies’ palates. It is also a good way to get them used to eating healthy food from a young age. It is advisable to start introducing it in their diet after 8 months to reduce the risk of colic or gas. Always check with your pediatrician.
Finally summer has arrived! What excitement we had to pull the shoulder straps out of the closet and go for a walk with the sun king. For us this is one of the best seasons of the year, when we enjoy life the most.
Did you know that 16% of households are made up of couples with young children and 15% of couples with children of middle age? These figures have made us think; over a quarter of households in our country have children. Therefore we wanted to analyse what kind of food we keep in Spanish homes, what we buy and how our shopping basket has evolved.
The diet of a pregnant woman is something that all future Mums take very seriously because we know that everything that we eat will affect the development of our baby. Whatever it costs us at first, we can’t think only of ourselves, we have to begin to think about both of us.From suitable foods to consume during pregnancy, we will focus on the benefits of broccoli, our favorite vegetable.
Yesterday we gave our last talk of the 2013-2014 academic year. We were with kindergarten children at the Julio Verne de Torrente School in Valencia.
We started our day with an activity that we call “The game of colors”, we wanted that these children of 4 and 5 years related the colors of the Rainbow with different fruits and vegetables.Then we tell them the storie of The adventures of Broccolin and then they went home to eat broccoli.
Last week we could go back to the Virgen de las Huertas school thanks to our partner Antonio Ibarra who studied there before high school. Broccolin gave a pet to the winners of the recipes contest.
Many of us have to go through a nightmare when we have to give our children vegetables.
Here you have a couple of pictures of Samantha Lee, a mom that makes true works of art with the dishes for their kids.
I hope you like them, I have given me lots of ideas!
Last week, from the 7th to the 9th of May, a series of workshops for students in kindergarten and primary school was held on the engineering campus at the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT). Broccolin was the main focus of one entitled “The taste of agriculture”.
After 2 weeks of the Cooking with me contest on social networks, we have today announced the 10 winners of the Broccolin stuffed toys, our mascot.
This contest was about passionate cooks sending us their favorite broccoli recipes. Our goal was to see how creative we are in the kitchen. Some of the photographs we received have been truly surprising and varied, as you shared with us pastas, rice dishes, pizzas, quiches, burgers, and even funny creams with sausages. We have appreciated that you have taken a chance to be different and that none of the participants have opted for the typical boiled or steamed broccoli recipes, which although they are the most well-known, they do not add the creativity that we were looking for.
