Emily has been interested in cooking lately. She has wanted to help me in the kitchen and asked about cooking classes! I looked online and saw that Hy-Vee offers a kids cooking class periodically. So, back in December, she went! She was so excited and had a lot of fun! They did a hot chocolate mix, a white chili, and (below) reindeer ritz cracker faces. Emily came home with big ideas and a couple of times a week (when we remember!) she helps me out with dinner. Bon appetit!
Next up in the goodie-department was Christmas baking! As you can see below, there were some different approaches to how this baking took place....Emily helped by cutting out the cookies...
While Christian helped...himself :-). Christian loves his sweets!
Finally, with our little Kari's food allergies (milk, eggs, soy and corn), we've been doing our best to make food she can eat with the family. Below, I found a way to make pizza that she can eat and really seemed to enjoy it! (The "cheese" is vegetable-based (non-soy) and comes from Whole Foods. She didn't seem to mind!) So, while we wait for Kari to outgrow these allergies, it's actually been a good kind of challenge to find Kari-safe foods and has broadened my horizens on the different ways food can be made and prepared. It's certainly made me become more aware of what's in all of the food that we eat!
