This is yet another genius thing to try at home.

Another easy snack option for your kids.
Recipe: CHEESY TWISTERS
🥧 1x sheet of puff pastry (pre-rolled)
🥚 1x egg
🧀 a handful of cheese
Instructions:
Place your sheet of puff pastry on a baking tray before brushing half with egg wash. Grate your cheese over the egg-washed segment and fold before grating more cheese over the top. Slice into strips and twist before placing in the oven for 15 mins (180 degrees).

💻 Hack of the week
Anyone else entering the terrible twos? This dad has figured out a novel solution to tantrums that works with his daughter; mirroring.
Not saying it’ll definitely work for you, but perhaps worth a try the next time you chop your little one’s banana up the wrong way.

⭐ How the stars do it
Prince William promising Charlotte that he’d wear his friendship from the Taylor Swift concert at this year’s Earthshot Prize.

I spent my entire life savings on pasta.
It was worth every penne.
