Routine in the kitchen: there is also room for children


The little ones can help you cook, but also to tidy up and clean, as long as it's made as a game

Days at home with i children they seem infinite and spend slowly, especially in difficult moments like what we are experiencing.
But with the right spirit they can also become very fun and stimulating for everyone.
In kitchen routine for example – breakfast, lunch, dinner, preparing, tidying up – we can involve the whole family.
What can we do in the kitchen with the kids? Cakes and delicacies, of course, but also many other activities, not only useful to entertain them, but also to maintain order … in every sense.

Easter cleaning with children

Easter is upon us. It is time to cleaning!
They are called so because these are the right days to think about one very thorough cleaning of the kitchen and pantry.
Children will have a great time a empty drawers and shelves to put some order in the kitchen.
The activities to do are many and very stimulating and you will take advantage of it to take two birds with one stone.
Everything in its place, clean kitchen and happy children!

Everything in a jar

You will certainly have envelopes of dried legumes, pasta and cereals scattered everywhere and open.
You will also have many old jars of jam or maybe preserves to finish and jars to wash.
Once everything has been sterilized, use i glass jars as containers for all that lies in sachets closed with clothespins or with a scotch that does not hold.
It will be a lot of fun for children to empty bags and fill jars and order will reign in your pantries.

More labels I can't

Once the jars are placed, it is important label them, when necessary.
The pasta is easily recognizable, but the spices are not and the cereals are not always.
So take paper and glue, or some real labels if you have them, and write what you have in front of you: salt, curry, pepper, paprika, chilli pepper, quinoa, chia seeds …
Children who are still unable to write can to draw, then arm them with crayons and wax colors and let them create.

Clean pantries

Once the pantries have been emptied, before filling them again, clean them well, discard what is no longer edible and set aside in a more visible place what should be consumed as soon as possible.
Children can help you with one wet piece in hand for cleaning and a careful eye for Expiring dates.
In this way they will also learn the value of things and understand how important it is do not waste.

Great jobs in the refrigerator

Everything you have done for the pantry also applies to the fridge.
Empty it and occasionally clean it and classify what you have and what you need to consume, always having the children help you. Also teach them how to store exactly all the ingredients and help them do it.

Tasks for everyone in the kitchen

Once the kitchen is well arranged, make a nice poster on which you will draw a weekly calendar.
Thus you will write down day by day i tasks that belong to every member of the family.
The children will be in charge of the table to set and clear and also to preparation of some easy recipes to be planned week by week, while the adults will provide general cleaning.
On the calendar you can write down other types of homework and assign small stikers like prize for children who have been good.

One recipe a day

Always on the calendar you can write down all the recipes that can be prepared, especially with the ingredients that you have put aside because they are nearing their expiry.
Every day you spend an hour or two at preparation of a dish for the whole familyobviously with the help of children.
In this way you will spend precious time with your family, however you will carry out your daily activities in the kitchen, but with a different spirit and certainly with many more smiles.
The children will be serene, happy, stimulated and they will feel useful. This will certainly make them feel bigger and more responsible.
So here's how a game can become a moment of growth.

Homemade beauty routine: 10 unmissable ingredients, directly from the pantry – Italian Cuisine

162870


Every woman knows: the daily beauty routine regularly imposes a sort of "obligatory stop" in perfumery to take care of the skin of the face and body. And, often, this obligatory stage also determines a more or less substantial financial disbursement, depending on the needs. But if we told you that they exist more methods cheap – but equally effective – to combat small imperfections due to the passing of time or climatic factors such as cold and heat? The secret lies right in the place (perhaps) less predictable: your dispensation. In fact, it is enough to make a targeted expense to always have a series of ingredients at your fingertips that turn out to be excellent natural remedies for the skin.

Paper and pen in hand, here is the list of things that can not miss to prepare masks, wraps and scrubs homemade.

The Yogurt

As very nutritious, it is a perfect ingredient to prepare compresses for dry and damaged hair and masks for the face. For a glowing skin take three teaspoons of white yogurt and three teaspoons of honey; mix until a thick mixture is obtained and spread on the face avoiding the eye area. After laying time, remove it with lukewarm water. For those who have reddened skin, just a spoonful of white yogurt with two drops of chamomile essential oil with soothing properties. Do you need 15 minutes of installation and then rinse with warm water.

Honey

It has an emollient and gives effect brightness to the skin. It is suitable both for the preparation of scrubs and for masks – perhaps in combination with yogurt – and wraps.

The lemon

A real one superfood with multiple properties: rich in vitamin C, it is a powerful antibacterial e anti-stain. Ideal for acne-prone impure skin thanks to its purifying and disinfectant effect (one teaspoon of honey and the juice of half a lemon make an excellent mask against blackheads); it is also one natural lightening for hair. Apply your filtered juice before sun exposure, and for a while you will greet the hairdresser from afar!

The egg

A beaten egg a day keeps the dryness away: being a very moisturizing and nourishing ingredient, there are no contraindications that discourage their use within their own beauty routine, for a face mask together with yogurt and oatmeal.

The cucumber

It is now known that the cucumber gives its best – as well as in the Greek salad – also on the eyes to fight the signs of fatigue and dark circles. Two slices left in place for about ten minutes on the eyelids refresh, deflate and illuminate better than a concealer.

The vein

It does not appear so often in shopping lists: if you do not particularly like its flavor, keep it in mind for the preparation of nutritious masks (see under the egg) and illuminating for the face, but after having chopped it.

The coffee

If in the morning you can not give up the pleasure of a coffee prepared with mocha to shake off the last residues of sleep, do not throw away the funds. massaged on the "critical" areas of the body, like hips and thighs, they have a surprising firming and draining effect.

Coconut flour

You want to make one scrub to the face, but your skin is very delicate and you do not want to attack it? Do not worry: coconut flour has a proven effective exfoliating, and is also lighter and suitable for epidermis that need more protection.

Cane sugar

Always talking about scrubs, but for the body: mixing the cane sugar with oil, honey or yogurt you will get a perfect exfoliant for the more stubborn areas and difficult, like elbows, knees and heels.

The avocado

It is not only the most photographed Instagram and loved by celebrity: avocado-lovers will be happy to know that it is also a an indispensable ally of the beauty routine, ideal for face and hair masks. To make one with a great moisturizing power, take a ripe avocado, wash it and cut it in half; after removing the core, dig the pulp with a spoon and place it in a bowl. Crush the pulp with a fork until you get a soft cream, add a few drops of lemon to get a slightly astringent effect and apply it on visa with the help of a brush. Then leave it in place for 15 minutes and rinse it with warm water.
