Easy, delicious and stress free ideas to enjoy March Break
March Break is the perfect time to slow down and spend quality time with family.
Between outings or cozy days at home, cooking becomes a simple, shared activity that’s accessible even for the little ones. No need for complicated recipes. Just a few good ingredients and a touch of creativity can turn these moments into delicious memories.
With a few essentials like our ready to bake mixes and oils, everything becomes easier… and even more delicious.
🍕 Custom Mini Pizzas
Mini pizzas are a classic that everyone loves, especially kids.
Using our Maison Orphée pizza dough mix, everyone can create their own version based on what they feel like. Cheese, veggies, deli meats or even a sweet version for dessert.
It’s the perfect activity to encourage independence while keeping things fun.
🥖 Decorative Focaccia
Focaccia is ideal for cooking with kids, as it allows you to play with shapes and colors.
With our Maison Orphée focaccia mix, just a few simple steps are needed to get the perfect dough.
Then, you can add herbs, vegetables or create patterns directly in the dough. A drizzle of Maison Orphée extra virgin olive oil adds a golden, soft texture while enhancing the flavours.
A beautiful way to combine creativity and cooking.
🍰 Homemade Cake to Decorate
Making a homemade cake is always a winning idea during March Break.
Our Maison Orphée cake mixes, chocolate or carrot, make it easy to bake without compromising on taste.
Simple to prepare, they allow kids to take part in every step, then let their imagination run wild with decorating.
You can also make cake pops using our cake mixes. Here’s a perfect recipe: carrot cake pops
🥗 Simple Meals, Special Moments
Cooking doesn’t always mean spending hours in the kitchen.
During March Break, simple meals can be turned into special moments. A shared bread with Maison Orphée extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar, a plate of vegetables with one of our dressings, or even an improvised picnic in the living room.
What matters most is creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
💡 Tips for Cooking with Kids
To keep the focus on fun:
- Let kids make choices, toppings and decorations
- Simplify the steps as much as possible
- Accept a little mess
- Focus on the experience rather than the result
💛 Conclusion
March Break isn’t about cooking performance.
It’s about slowing down, sharing and enjoying the little everyday moments. Between flour on the counter and bursts of laughter, these simple moments often become the most memorable.
