Children who get enough calcium start their adult lives with the strongest bones possible. Young kids need calcium and vitamin D to form and maintain healthy teeth and bones. We are blessed with plentiful of sunshine throughout the year hence very rarely children lack in Vitamin D as the sun is one of the best sources of this nutrient.

However, many children do not consume enough calcium. We can overcome this by including calcium-enriched food into our children’s daily meals.

Cheese is a good source of calcium. Therefore I love adding them into my cooking and baking. Not only is cheese a good source of calcium, it also provides protein and a number of vitamins and minerals essential for growing children.

One of my all-time favourite recipes with cheese is this super fluffy and soft cheese buns with double cheese.

These buns are so soft, it is like eating cheese flavored clouds. Yummy!

Sprinkled with glorious cheddar cheese to give it a tender-crisp cheesy top, I also kneaded the dough with cream cheese which makes these Cheese Buns soft and delicious. Because the cheese is worked into the dough helps make these the softest buns ever.
