Whats in Season?

Asparagus!

Its prime asparagus season here in the UK! Its a great source of folic acid and vitamin C - and its also high in fibre! A great super food!

The shoots should be firm and straight and have tightly furled tips.

Steam them for 4-5 minutes serve! simple! And toddlers will love them as an alternative to toast soldiers with a boiled egg!

Fairy 'Make Story Time Special' Competition

Here at Pinkfairycake we are supporting Fairys 'Make Story Time Special' initiative, encouraging parents to spend more time reading with their children.

They are offering free Kipper Books on special packs of Fairy Non Bio and Fairy Fabric Softener and are also running a competition:

'To celebrate the Kipper books giveaway, Fairy is launching its 'Make Story-time Special' competition – asking mums and dads to create their own Kipper stories their children will love. All you need to do is create a very short story, around 150 words long, using Kipper and his friends as the main characters. Your Kipper story can be about you and your little one, or a brand new Kipper adventure, the key is to be imaginative! Why not get your child involved too by getting them to help you think of a story?'
