chickaDEE Reader Recipe

Hi readers,

In the May issue, we showed you how to make Fiesta Pinwheels. Here’s chickaDEE reader, Anna, 6, who was inspired by our pinwheels to make her own recipe called Pocket Picks.

Anna and her Pocket Picks!

Here’s how you make it!

What to do:

1. In a small bowl, mix up cream cheese, chopped up turkey, lettuce and tomatoes.

2. Slice the top of a mini pita to create an opening. Use a spoon to put in the filling.

3. Put on a plate and enjoy!

Looks yummy! Thanks for sharing, Anna!

Anna used ingredients she already had in her fridge. You can do the same and make your own version of Pocket Picks with whatever you have!

Have fun,

Happy Earth Day!

Hi readers!

Did you know that Earth Day is the biggest environmental event in the world? Each year, more than six million Canadians participate in Earth Day activities in their communities.

Happy Earth Day!

Here are some ways you can celebrate Earth Day:

• Go on a nature walk with family members and pick up garbage along the way
• Remember to turn off the lights when you leave a room
• Turn off the tap while you brush your teeth
• Re-use as many items as you can before trashing or recycling them
• Ask your family to buy local fruit and vegetables whenever possible
• Head outside for some fun instead of using electronics

What are you doing to celebrate Earth Day? Leave a comment below!

Happy International Children’s Book Day!

Hi readers,

Today is International Children’s Book Day! To celebrate, I thought I’d share a great book recommendation.

Letter Lunch

Letter Lunch by Elisa Gutiérrez is a wordless story about two hungry kids who decide to go on a food scavenger hunt. But what they pick up along the way may surprise you! Their adventure has the kids letter-picking in their backyard and even browsing through the alphabet at the grocery store! You’ll have to check out this book to find out what the chefs cook up.

Bye for now!
