on the website for BBC Food there is a section which shows you different ways to get your child cooking and i have been looking through it and thought it was a really good site to use.

You can make cakes, meals, Easter egg nests and lots of other things.

there is a programme on their called big cook little cook which gives you recipes and instructions which are easy to follow for the children so they wont need that much help but personally i would be giving them lots of supervision as i can imagine it being very messy.

Let me know what you think of this and if you would recommend it.

I love to go out for a meal at least once a week but my other half started telling me it was a waste of money so we stopped going as much until i started to receive the emails from www.myvouchercodes.co.uk and www.vouchercodes.co.uk with loads different discount vouchers each week.

All you have to do is fill in some details, print a copy of the voucher and take it with you when you go out.

At first my other half was embarrassed when i brought the voucher out but than he realised how much money we were saving so he got over that.

So far i have used the vouchers in the following:

• La Tasca
• Zizzi
• Pizza Hut
• Yo Sushi

Go and have a look and see what bargains you can get.

I had my friends around the other night and they taught me to make Home Made burgers and potatoe wedges, see below on how we made them:
