Megan McKenna has recently had the opportunity to come into the spotlight, and in an unusual way, this time, by providing the daily meal of her son Landon with some of her artistic cooking tricks, turning the little one’s leftovers into a high-class dinner, thus receiving both praises for her cooking and attention to her son’s cuteness and his playful mealtime behavior. The dish that the former ‘Towie’ star made from leftovers was unthinkably elegant like dripping with honey and nuts pizza. Most of the parents noticed the video as they were in search of out-of-the-box approaches to cutting down the food waste and prepping delectable meals for the whole family, thus the parents were the ones who paid most notice.

Megan literally brought the viewers up and made the pizza sticks step gradually to what she labeled an “elite dinner.” First, she turned on the oven to warm the pizza base and then on leading of it, she placed the rocket, the remaining chicken, walnuts, and gave the whole thing a very lavish honey drowning. During the whole act she even confessed, “Honey on pizza is possibly one of my favorite things, and I am really into it.” The last touches were the balsamic glaze, rock salt, and Parmesan cheese that went on to create a dish that was not only very appealing but also quite difficult to guess that it was made of a toddler’s leftovers.
Apart from this, Megan was also seen in the video making roasting potatoes that were flavored with ginger, garlic, and chili, which were served along with the pizza made. Moreover, besides the pizza making, Landon, her son, was happily and quietly devouring his meal in the background throughout the cooking session, which was a very charming and real depiction of their kitchen dynamics. McKenna’s method of cooking did prove that sometimes just a little creative ingredient can transform even the most simple meals into something special.
Landon’s constant presence in the video was especially enjoyed by the audience. One viewer, for example, commented “Having Landon munching in the background gives me life! He’s such a good eater!” Another viewer said that the little boy was “pointing his finger copying you” during the demonstration. The excited eating of the toddler that made occasional appearances turned to be an adorable setting for the cooking tutorial.
The honey and pizza combo was especially the topic of the day among the followers. A commenter confessed, “I have started putting honey on everything, it’s wonderful,” while another told their version saying, “Yes honey on pizza I thought I was the only one. I put roast pumpkin on mine too.” The rare blending of flavors evidently captivated the audience who were already looking to experiment with their meal innovations.
There were multiple praises to McKenna’s parenting style, one person remarked that she is “such a great mumma and cook” and the other one simply said, “you’re a cool mum.” The video was testimony to McKenna’s juggling of motherhood with creative cooking, showing that one can have gourmet meals without taking a long time or spending a fortune on getting the ingredients.
The comments also provided a glimpse into how McKenna’s cooking videos have slowly but surely altered the shopping habits of her followers. One person jokingly said, “Since watching your scrumptious videos I immediately want Parmesan and balsamic on everything! Sales of honey and Parmesan have gone up 1000% and it’s all your fault!” This shows that McKenna’s influence goes beyond just being entertaining to affecting consumer behavior.
While most of the comments were positives, one user did put forward a question based on practical concerns around food preparation, inquiring the reason as to why McKenna doesn’t wash packaged lettuce with chlorine content, mentioning the health risks involved. Such a minor criticism while surrounded with loud praises is a testimony to both the quality of the meal and McKenna’s presentation style.
If nothing else, the mere fact of cooking McKenna was made known by several comments about her hair and make-up as she was not only being praised but also admired for her hairstyling and make-up. For instance, one follower said, “Your hair looks really nice,” while another said, “Can we see how that’s done?” showing that McKenna’s styling choices attract almost as much attention as her culinary creations.
The video was a track to the eyes and ears of the food lovers and parents with its delightfully unplugged family moments plus cooking advice. McKenna’s friendly personality and her readiness to share the little triumphs and simply family moments made her the darling of the fans who liked the mixture of star insight and relatable parenting content. Her knack for turning mundane moments into fun and eye-catching content is a clear reason for her being still a darling after her reality television stint years ago.

McKenna’s wooden pizza transformation tutorial was a tip to both parents and children, who could immediately have fun and mix discipline at the same meal time, proving that with a bit of imagination one can even make a fancy dish out of everyday items. The encouraging response implies that the audience factors in both the useful cooking tips and the unfiltered insight into McKenna’s life as a mother struggling to feed a young family with creativity while still managing her artistic passions. Megan McKenna recently celebrated a cozy date night with a homemade feast, and she also marked her first birthday as a mother with her son. Fans will recall a dinner disaster with Landon that went hilariously wrong, and she has also been open about reflecting on Landon’s first birthday and her C-section. On a different note, Megan McKenna celebrated her gluten-free bread launch with a doughnut surprise.
