Cherry and Apple Compote Kids' Menu

Hi everyone! Today's recipe Cherry and Apple Compote is my son's all time favorite. My son doesn't like fresh cherries so this is an excellent way to incorporate cherries into his diet. Cherries and apples are in season right now, you can find them in every local market or supermarket and it'll literally take 5 minutes to make it. 

You'll need only a few ingredients to make this amazing sweet and sourish compote:

• cherries (1 full cup)
• apples (1 full cup)
• sugar (to your taste, I am using 2 tablespoon)
• water (4 cups)

Instructions:

• Add the water into a pan and bring it to boil.
• Cut the apple into pieces and remove the seeds.

• When the water stars boiling add the sugar, the cherries and the chopped apples. Bring it to boil, turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lead. Let it seat there until it cools down. 

• You can serve it warm or put it into the fridge and serve it cooled down. you can serve this delicious compote with or without the fruits. I personally enjoy eating the boiled fruits but my son doesn't like them!!! You can preserve this compote in a fridge use it for a few days!!!

I really hope you enjoyed today's recipe. Wish you have a wonderful day!!! Bye!

Cold Yogurt and Cucumber Drink with Crispy Croûtons

Hi everyone!!! I hope you are having an amazing week! Today I decided to post a cool drink recipe for you because it's already quite hot outside and all want is to chill outside with a glass of cold drink to refresh you! This delicious cold yogurt and cucumber drink is one of my favorite drinks for hot summer days and I like to accompany it with crispy croûtons. It can make a wonderful snack (or even lunch) in the middle of the day to refresh and make you function for the rest of the day.

 To make this delicious cold yogurt and cucumber drink (2-3 portions) with crusty croûtons you will need the following ingredients:

• cold yogurt (2 cups)
• cucumber (2 of an average size, you can add more or less of your liking depending how thick you prefer your drink)
• cold water (1 cup)
• lettuce (a small bunch or 5-6 leaves)
• fresh herbs (dill, coriander, parsley, mint, tarragon, a few springs from each; use whichever herb you like or have)
• salt (to your taste)
• ice cubes(as many as you like to keep your drink cool as long as you drink it)

The instructions of making the drink:

• Take a jar or any suitable container of your liking, pour the cold yogurt into it, sprinkle it with salt and whisk it.
• Cut the cucumber into small cubes and add to the yogurt.
• Chop the lettuce and the fresh herbs into small pieces and add to the jar with yogurt and cucumber. Mix thoroughly all the ingredients with a wooden spoon.
• Add the cold water to make it a little bit thinner and taste it to make sure you have salted it enough, if not add a little bit more. Before serving this amazing yogurt and cucumber drink add the ice cubes. You can add the ice cubes immediately into the glass before you pour the drink into it.

To make the crispy croûtons you'll need:

• Bread
• salt and pepper
• any vegetable oil of your liking
• salt and pepper (paprika and black pepper, chili pepper if you like to make spicy)

The instructions:

• Cut the bread into thin slices, season them with salt, black pepper, paprika and chili.
• Sprinkled them with vegetable oil and roast them in a frying pan.

I hope you enjoyed today's recipe. If you make it one day share the picture with me down in the comment section. I'm looking forward to your feedback! I hope you had a nice day! Bye!
