Caterpillar in my cauliflower and Butternut squash risotto with coconut oil

Fridge jenga is not my favourite game, I need a bigger fridge, look...

But...as I have to try and fit everything in, it led to this...

Ro was fascinated. he wanted to name it fluffy! It's not fluffy. Anyway, I popped it in a jar to show M after school.  

Today it was warm, but my children won't eat salad.  I'm trying to get them to eat more veggies and decided to make a butternut squash risotto with coconut oil, we had some mozzarella left over so thought I'd joosh-up some courgettes to go alongside the risotto.

Courgettes to roast with cherry toms, mozzarella and pesto

A heart ;-)

I thought it was yummy, Ro liked the rice but that's about all, M didn't like any of it and went straight to the fridge for yogurt. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.  Back to the caterpillar. We went foraging for different grasses and leaves in the field next door...

 Put some soil in a large jar, along with the grasses and some large sticks...

 Put the caterpillar in 'his' new home...

 Popped a piece of material on top and hoped for the best...

M made a name badge for the caterpillar. She even drew pictures on the other side of the paper so that the caterpillar could see from inside, very cute.  The funny thing is she came up with Emerald and doesn't know what an emerald is. I told her that was a perfect name as it was green...hope we manage to keep it until it's a butterfly...Nx
