I think it is pretty safe to say that every kid will soon be nuts for Turtles – those 4 rad buddies, you know the ones. With all their quirks they are the perfect theme for some great pizza ideas! Which is perfect timing as it’s school holidays and ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Old Friends, New Enemies’ is out now on DVD. As we all know the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles love nothing more than a good pizza – it is after all where they get their power! You can join in the fun with these easy pizza recipes for kids, using inspiration from their favourite TMNT character!

 TMNT Pizzas

Michelangelo pizza

Michelangelo is the carefree ninja turtle, who loves to have fun!
Make sure your pizza uses a lot of different coloured ingredients including tomatoes, pineapple, capsicum and ham. Make sure you spread all of the ingredients around- have fun with it!

Leonardo pizza

Leonardo is the leader of the turtles, he displays lots of courage and shows the others who’s boss! Make sure your pizza is even and neat- just like Leonardo would like it! Use great ingredients like ham and salami to make you big and strong like him!

Raphael is the mischievous ninja turtle, who is always up to something cheeky!
Mix a bunch of ingredients that don’t usually go together, like lollies and chocolate, then you’ll be a mischief maker just like him!

Donatello pizza

By Leave a Comment

A favourite weekend breakfast for both kids and adults in our home is our Bread Pudding Pancakes. I love this recipe because you can easily add and alter the ingredients to suit your personal tastes, enjoy it at any time of the day and the kids love helping to make it!!

Bread Pudding Pancakes

Ingredients:
12x slices of white bread (sliced into 2cm squares)
2 ¾ cups milk
3 eggs
1 ¼ cups self-raising flour (sifted)
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter

Instructions:
1. Slice bread into 2cm squares.
2. Soak bread in the milk for approx. 10 minutes (until it softens).
3. In a small bowl mix flour, sugar, salt. You can do this while you are waiting for the bread to soak.
4. Gently fold the flour mixture into the bread. Add eggs and vegetable oil.
5. Gently mix.
6. Melt butter into pan and cook batter. (I used approx. 1/3 cup per pancake).
7. Cook for 3 minutes each side on medium heat or until cooked through. They will resemble a moist pudding inside so don’t overcook.
8. Serve as desired – I serve my bread pudding pancakes with homemade butterscotch sauce and ice cream but you can top with jam or custard for kids lunches.

This stuffed potato skins recipe can be made as a main meal, side dish or entrée/starter. Just adjust the quantity to suit.

Bacon stuffed potato skins

2x Bacon rashers (approx. half per potato)
1 tbs x Sour cream
1.5 tbs x Butter/margarine

A sprinkle of mozzarella cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Shallots

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180˚.
2. Cut potatoes in half with flatter sides to be used as bases.
3. Brush with oil and bake for approx. 30 minutes or until cooked. (I microwave mine for roughly 10 minutes and they are usually cooked right through)
4. Once cooked scoop out centre of potato (put this into a bowl as we will use this for the filling) and leave just a thin amount of potato on the skin. Put skins back in the oven to crisp up. This takes approx. 20 minutes.
4. While potatoes are cooking, dice bacon and fry off.
5. Add bacon to bowl of potato centres. Add the butter, sour cream, cream, salt and pepper. Mash together.
6. Remove the skins from the oven and fill with mash mix. Top with a sprinkle of cheese and place back into oven until cheese has melted and browned slightly.
