Balls of rice with a hidden treasure of ooey-gooey cheese in the middle. They’re fast, easy, and kids love them.
Click here for this recipe, from Weelicious. I haven’t altered it in any way from the original recipe so I won’t reprint it here. It’s perfect just the way it is. I used brown rice that I had left over from another meal. It was pretty sticky, which is what you want for this recipe. It took a little practice to form the balls, but for me it worked best if I made the ball of rice first, then held it in my palm while I pushed the cube of cheese into the ball with my finger, and then closed the ball up again. I didn’t bother with using a steamer, I just popped them in the microwave because it was quicker and easier. We had them for lunch, along with left-over butter chicken. Bennett liked them a lot. Cole wasn’t interested at all though; he was in a bad mood that lunch. It thought they were really fun and such a neat idea. Weelicious is one of my favourite sites for kid-friendly food ideas. I love her recipes, and especially her videos. Cole likes them too. When he first saw one he said ‘hey that’s you Mommy!’ Yeah, I wish!
My kids like to whine, especially when it comes to the food they eat, but that doesn’t stop me from trying to make tasty and healthy meals for them. Follow along as I share family-friendly recipes and reviews from my picky family members, who I lovingly call “The Whine Critics.”
