What you will need:
Celery sticks
Cottage cheese
Raisins
Supervision with cutting
Directions:
Wash celery, cut into 10-12cm pieces, fill

Press raisins into cheese mixture
Pizza Potatoes
Ingredients:- 1 large potato
- 1 teaspoon of milk
- 1 teaspoon of butter
- Half a cup of grated cheese
- 2 slices of chopped salami or cooked bacon
- Half a tomato
- Half a spring onion finely chopped
- 2 extra teaspoons of grated cheese
Wash the potatoes, leave the skin on them and dry with paper towel. Pierce the skins with a fork in four places. Cook them in the microwave for 4 or 5 minutes each side. If you don’t have a microwave you can cook them in the oven at 175 celcius for about 30 minutes. Take them out of the oven and leave them for about 3 minutes. Then scoop the cooked potato out of the skins and put it into a bowl.
Mix in the milk, butter and the half cup of grated cheese, then put in the spring onion and salami or bacon. Put the filling back into the potato jackets and sprinkle the extra cheese over them.
Put them back into the microwave for about 1 minute or the oven for 20 minutes so they are nice and warm to eat.
