Peppercress

Actually quite an eye catcher!

Eating out at McDonald's is definitely one of the kids favorite dining experience. We don't mind that so much anymore as over the years, the Happy Meal has evolve with options for a healthier choice of food. We have the kids picking fresh orange juice instead of one of the soft drinks, we offer them a generous dollop of tomato ketchup to go with their fries and nuggets. However, we just can't stop them from choosing one of the many plastic freebies. (Have I mention "useless" freebies?!). We have a whole box of them.  Just when we thought we have had enough of them, there... in February, there was a whole new selection for even more. But this time, we ACTUALLY could put them into real use!

Viola ! We started growing peppercress in the wheelbarrows! What a laugh, what a treat for the eyes.. and what a yummy spicy zesty addition to our salad (or soup or sandwiches!)

Busy gardeners... yummy!

Ready for picking...

Oh yes, from next month onwards, we are upgrading the kids to the adults' menu. So no more plastic freebies...
