Cheese Flapjacks and Latches.

I had a few minutes spare before lunch and having seen a recipe for cheese & veg flapjacks I thought I'd give them a go (thanks Karen/Karlou!). They're dead easy to do 

200g oats

200g grated carrot (about 2 medium carrots)

200g grated courgette (about 1 courgette)

200g grated cheddar

2 small onions finely chopped

2 beaten eggs to bind

1 tsp of dried thyme or sage (or mixed herbs)

seasoning to taste

mix it all up (it seems quite dry) and press it into a greased (I would line it as well after this attempt) baking tray or swiss roll tin and bake at 190 C for 25-30 minutes

('Scuse the smeared lens, Isaac had been playing with the camera)

The delivery of the day was the Melissa & Doug latches board that I ordered ages ago that's finally come into stock. Isaac loves keys, locks and the like so it's perfect for him. 

Some of the latches are a bit stiff so hard for him to do at the moment and some he hasn't worked out yet but he's been having fun with it and has enough success that he's not too frustrated by it. 

I first saw the latches board on the Chasing Cheerios blog. She's also had a Melissa & Doug house with locks and keys that we'd love but sadly it's been discontinued.
