Here’s a quick party idea that won’t have you busy entertaining all day—breakfast pizza. Basically, it’s a healthy pancake with a nutrient-rich array of colour. Invite kids for a morning breakfast or brunch event, and they can personalize their own socca with fruit arranged in funny faces or rainbows.
Tip
For easy serving, make socca a day ahead and wrap in parchment with sheets in between to keep them from sticking. Warm in oven before placing on serving plates for kids to make their own creative socca pizzas.

Directions
01
In medium-sized bowl, place socca ingredients and whisk to blend. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 hour or even overnight.
02
Heat nonstick frying pan over medium. Add a couple drops of oil and brush to coat pan. Give socca batter a thorough whisk. Pour about 1/4 cup (60 mL) batter into hot pan and gently spread into 5 in (13 cm) round using thin, flat spatula, if needed.
03
When bubbles on batter edges begin to appear and underside is starting to brown, flip socca, and continue to cook until the other side begins to turn golden. Remove to ovensafe dish and cover. Place in warming oven to keep warm while preparing remaining socca.
04
In bowl, whisk yogurt and maple syrup together. Set aside. Place fruits, seeds, and nuts in separate serving dishes.
05
When soccas are ready, place one on each plate. Provide utensils for kids to scoop and spread some yogurt onto each socca. Allow them to creatively decorate socca with seeds, fruit, and nuts.

Tender caramelized cauliflower is crowned in a glorious sweet and savoury crumble that will ensure it a place on your table all month long. Of all tree nuts, pecans have the highest concentration of flavonoids, which offer beneficial anti-inflammatory effects, and they also protect your cells from oxidative damage. Crumble perfection This crumble topping is too good not to use it on other preparations. Sprinkle over a carrot ribbon salad to add some extra pizzazz, use as a glorious garnish on a soup or stew, or consider generously spooning over your next vegetable “steak” to add some delicious textural variation.
Creamy White Bean Pasta
