'I have 12 kids and serve their dinner in a paddling pool - it's so much easier'

A mum-of-12 has been hailed a "genius" after serving up her children's dinner in a paddling pool to save on washing up. Alicia Dougherty, from New York, America, has taken to TikTok to share her budget-friendly 'nacho pool' dish that fills an entire 135-litre pool.

To start, she empties 10 bags of tortilla chips into the pool before adding minced beef, melted cheese, lettuce, olives, tomatoes, grated cheese and sauce. Her video, which is captioned "Snackerty board got upgraded to a nacho pool", has been viewed more than two million times and has received about 180,000 likes.

Commenting on her idea, one user said: "This is how memories are made. Amazing job. mum."
