Corn and peas with cottage cheese
Yellow pearls of corn combined with peas and cubes of cottage cheese look really appealing and I’m sure your little angel will enjoy munching on them.
A new flavour of mixed dried herbs is added to perk up this dish, as children at this age do enjoy experimenting with newer flavours.
