Cooking class #3







We decided to make Cream of Chicken soup due to the recent cold weather! The kids all worked hard, and we enjoyed everything! The soup stock had already been homemade by Shelly, and we worked at chopping vegetables, extra base, and all the fixings...it turned out very well!

Cooking class Walshes/Hydes











We've decided, since we all do piano together on Tuesdays, to do a Cooking/Nutrition/Food safety class! We have had two classes so far, and the kids are doing a wonderful job....I am only a supervisor, they do all the work, including cleanup (though Shelly generally puts in more time than anyone!)

For our first class we made: Lemon Glazed Muffins......Sophie, Anna and Noelle grated Lemon rinds, squeezed lemons and mixed the wet ingredients. Christian, Ben and Ryan worked with most of the dry ingredients, and they all mixed and poured....All was going very well, and then came the oven. I was helping with this part, and didn't realize my racks were on a high tier...and guess what? Yep, they burned. The kids were great sports though...and we ate whatever we could, and they were still delicious. Might as well show them the things not to do also.....right? ;)

Second class: Pretzel Coated Chicken Breasts with Cheddar Mustard Sauce....courtesy Rachel Ray...

The boys did most of the prep work: grating, Vitamix, ingredients, etc., and of course, pounding the chicken breasts flat was a favorite. Sophie and Noelle breaded all the breasts and Anna did the sauce....we all enjoyed them for lunch! Salad and fruit, courtesy of Shelly!

Stay tuned for more dishes....coming soon!
