Cheese Dumplings Saved The Day

To say that today has been trying has been an understatement.

Baba has been exceptionally hard work today. We have had tantrum after tantrum, and they haven’t been little ones either one of the tantrums literally went on for well over an hour. There was nothing that I could do to bring him out of it! If he wasn’t having a tantrum, he was screaming, throwing or hitting. It was hard work.

But there was a little saving grace today. In the name of cheese dumplings.

Baba had a fantastic time making them, and it was such an easy and simple thing for him to do. He was able to help with the flour and the grating of the cheese and had great fun making the dumplings. We had sausage dumplings as well as round dumplings today! And there were exceptionally yummy. It is a recipe that I would recommend to do with children over and over again!

Here he is all ready for cooking looking like butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth! If only that was true.
