I had my kids cooking class again this Wednesday and below is a little sampling of what we made. A feast for the eyes! The Christmas season is here!!
Each child took home a basket of goodies to share with their families.
This is a photo of the monkey bread rising. It was soooo delicious smelling!
We made stained glass cookies. This is a shot of the pan before it went in the oven.
These are the Oreo Truffles. They turned out so well I think I will be making them for my own holiday goodies that I hand out at Christmas.
Tomorrow is another one of my kids cooking classes. I am very excited for the lineup of what we will be making. I will hopefully remember to get pictures of everything so I can post them here. It is easier with the older kids that I have tomorrow to get pictures because they don't need as much help in getting stuff made.
So here is our menu:
1) Mini Monkey Bread
2) Oreo Truffles
3) Stained Glass Window Cookies
4) Ranch Oyster Snack Crackers
5) Chocolate Covered Pretzels
6) Fluffy Hot Chocolate
This might be ambitious for the hour and a half I have the kids but we will see. Hopefully we get through it all especially the hot chocolate. I did a test run with the hot chocolate today for my husband and I and it was super good. He even had two glasses of it!
Every so often as time allows I teach kids cooking classes through our local community education program. It is so much fun to work with the kids. Totally worth all the time that goes into it once we are there making things together. The time also goes so fast once we get started...it is crazy!
Today was a class for 5-8 year olds so I thought I would share with you what we made. On the agenda was Friendship Soup Mix, Teddy Bear Bread, Apple Pie Snack Mix, and M&M Cookies. I wish I has snapped pictures of everything-especially the soup mix since they turned out cool but at least you get to see the teddy bears. Enjoy a glimpse of what 5-8 year olds can do in the kitchen.
Cookie dough! The kids loved coming to collect the items for their cookies from the front of the classroom. It made so many cookies that I have a huge pan full of them at my house right now that were still baking when the kids left for the night. I think I will take them to work tomorrow.
