Superhero Family Fun Dinner

My boys are currently obsessed with superheroes- Marvel Avengers, Batman, comic books, anything will do! We decided to have a family fun night based on superheroes, thanks to the help of The Official Super Hero Cookbook. If you have boys in your house, you need this book! As well as everyday items, it has great ideas for birthday themes and jazzing up lunchboxes, and it even comes with stencils.


We looked through the cookbook and chose what we would like to eat, then I helped the boys write out the menu and a list of ingredients and supplies we would need.

Our main course was Holy Guacamole with Krypto Dogs, Wonder Woman Crudites and Superman Sauce. We also had Joker Juice as our drink.



Dessert was Plastic Man Pudding- this was absolutely delicious! I did change it to Batman Pudding and used a Bat cookie cutter to place some blue fondant on top, and we only needed small amounts of this sweet treat.



The boys both really enjoyed planning, cooking and eating our special superhero themed family fun dinner.

WCW Berry Parfaits and Valentine Recipe Ideas


Valentines Day is this weekend, and I have the perfect dessert to make for your loved ones or even the whole family! These Berry Parfaits are simple to make yet taste delicious- and scroll down for six more delicious Valentines Day recipe ideas!

You will need:
  • 85 gram pack boysenberry jelly crystals
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/3 cup cold water
  • 1 cup natural unsweetened yoghurt
  • 1 cup berry sauce (I used Dollop Berry Compote)
  • extra unsweetened yoghurt for topping
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • Pascall Berry Swirl marshmallows
Stir the jelly crystals and boiling water together until dissolved. Add the cold water. Refrigerate until the jelly begins to set and is slightly thickened.

Whisk in the yoghurt until smooth. Divide amongst 4 parfait glasses. Refrigerate until firm.



Top with extra yoghurt, blueberries, berry sauce and marshmallows.



The boys were very impressed with their parfaits, and the addition of the yoghurt to the jelly makes a decadent, creamy dessert.


I would love to know if you are planning a special Valentines Day dessert! Here are some suggestions for other recipes you might like to try.
