I'm sure that a lot of parents were under pressure: "mum, buy me a soft drink". Shop shelves groan with drinks that tempt us with colourful and enticing labels. Some of them also have stickers to attract children's attention. You just need one peek at a list of ingredients as long as the periodic table and you don't want to buy them. Unfortunately, normal mineral water isn't attractive both in terms of taste and packaging. Adults are more sensible so more often choose water, but children are more difficult to convince.

My children mostly drink water, juice and green and fruit tea, but sometimes I am faced with the above difficult choice.

For children aged 5-6 educators and teachers have more authority than parents, so I decided to look for outside support. I was rescued from my trouble by a nearby shop with healthy and ecological food "EKOlogika" Opaczewska Street 43. In this ordinary but amazing place they organize training workshops for children and adults about products and eating habits, and they also have evenings with books and meetings with businessmen from the Ochota district as well as other events.

New products and access to a huge amount of recipes from all over the world have made our diet more varied. Despite my best efforts, I sometimes hear the fatal question: "Mum, when will we have sausages for supper?" Even though I try to make sandwiches that don't drive them away from the plate, my children much prefer sausages, crepes or pasta with tomato sauce. I sometimes wonder when they will grow up and change their approach to food and voluntarily try new things.

This time I gave in and prepared sausages for supper. I served them in a different way. My home-made hot-dogs contained cheese, dill pickles, tomatoes, red onion and arugola as well as sausages. My children thought that they were pretty good. My daughter, as usual, poured on such an amount of ketchup that she wouldn't have noticed if there had been a boiled carrot instead of a sausage in the bun.

Ingredients:
4 bridge rolls for hot-dogs
4 sausages
4 slices of cheese
1 red onion
2 dill pickles
1 big tomato

Of all the days of the week we like Friday evening the most. Tasty supper, sometimes a glass of wine, a movie, a chat and a moment's peace after a long rough week.

Sometimes this is the only time for ourselves. Our children completely use up our free time, so although they are theoretically free, our weekends are chock-full. Do you also know the situation when on Friday you plan to do a lot of things, but then reality interferes, and on Sunday evening the to-do list is as long as it was on Friday?

Today I have a recipe for my supper last Friday. The dish was light and very tasty. Depending on the size of the meal, you can use this recipe to prepare a grand starter before dinner.

Ingredients (for 2 people):
3 beetroots
125g of goat cheese
10 walnuts
5 tablespoons of honey
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
2 tablespoons of olive oil
