We’ve compiled our best ideas to satisfy hungry kids, perfect for anytime of the day. Simple to make and even better to eat!

Pizza Party
Using COBS Bread pizza bases you can create a multitude of pizza options. Why not get the kids involved too?! Get them to choose their own toppings and even make it themselves. It makes for a fun (and tasty) family activity night. Our pizza bases also come in mini sizes perfect for little tummies. No time to cook? Our ready to eat Mini Pizzas are made fresh in store every day and are available in a variety of flavours. Consider creating a pizza platter so that everyone gets their favourite flavour.

Meatball Madness
An obvious choice, 100% kid approved, are meatball sliders made with our delicious Italian Herb Foccacia. Simply place two squares of focaccia either side of a mouth-watering meatball and you have yourself an endless platter of snacks ideal for kids who are on the go.

Slider Heaven
Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner; sausage and egg sliders will curb any appetite using your favourite COBS Bread Bun, Loaf or Dinner Roll as your base. To make summer life even easier, consider making a batch at a time to place in the freezer and shoot them straight into the oven when needed.

Cheese Please
You can never go wrong with a grilled cheese sandwich especially when the summer days are long and busy. Pair our delicious Higher Fibre loaf with creamy butter and yummy cheese. It has the same great flavour as a white loaf, but is packed with fibre and perfect for picky eaters! Add some avocado to take it up a notch and get some green goodness into growing kids!

Ice Cream, You Scream
Not forgetting about dessert…what kid doesn’t love ice cream and boy do we have a delicious recipe up our sleeves. This No Churn Strawberry Passion Fruit Ice Cream using our Strawberry Passion Fruit Scones takes less than 15 mins to make (and to eat)! The kids will love helping make this too as long as they have the patience to let it freeze! A colourful addition to any summer dinner table.
