Candy sushi a fun recipe for kids during the holidays
PORT HOPE -- Last weekend I told my nieces I made them sushi.
"Yuck," they said.
When I said it was candy sushi, they were sceptical but soon loved it. I set out some pieces for them to make, which they also really enjoyed.
I have been making sushi for a few years but had never heard of candy sushi. A quick search on the internet turned up a number of recipes. There are generally two types of traditional sushi - maki rolls and the fish-topped nigiri. As Christmas is fast approaching, I made a plate of fish-topped nigiri in the traditional holiday colours of red and green. It wasn't hard to find gummy fish in The Bulk Barn. It was a little more difficult to find a box of fruit roll-ups in only one colour. I had to settle for a variety pack box of all different colours.
The gummy and fruit roll-ups contain a lot of sugar, which means this recipe is not particularly healthy. There are healthier options - such as using roll-ups without added sugar or topping the Rice Krispie squares with dried mango. I also saw recipes that used sponge cake instead Rice Krispies squares.

Veggie Prairie Girl: T-Rex Dinosaur at the Bulk Barn
My soon-to-be 4 year old grandson woke up from his nap and the first think he said was: I dreamed I had a T-Rex Dinosaur Cake for my birthday - Is it my birthday yet? I'm not surprised he dreams of dinosaurs - he's consumed with them this summer. He does dinosaur roars at the local parks and what amuses me is that all the dads know exactly what he is :O) So if he's dreaming of a dino cake is there any way we could not put one together? I think not! So I quickly started googling! And of course Wilton has a T-Rex form cake pan suitable for the preschoolers. Thank goodness. An even bigger thank goodness is that the Bulk Barn outlet at south common will rent you the cake pan for a mere $1.99 per day (plus $20.00 refundable deposit). I can't see that we'll want to make it more than once or maybe twice? In any case $1.99 is a bargain and it won't be collecting dust on the back shelf somewhere for...
