Cooking 101

Baby its cold outside! So you can't go outside, you bake! I've really been trying not to bake so much, because I end up eating the results and that doesn't lend itself to taking links off the chain (5 links off so far!!!) but sometimes you've just gotta do it!

Last week we made "Princess Puffs" which are basically colored merangue(sp?) with sprinkles...but oh so good and really not terribly bad for you since they're pretty much just egg whites. : ) Good for me!


Today we had a banner day. After making melon jello with canned fruit, I discovered a pie crust in the fridge that we never used at Christmas, so Maya got out the cinnamon and sugar and a snowman cookie cutter and went to town making pie crust cookies. Yummm!

Then Maya announced that she wanted to make her own thing...so we got out a bowl, spoon, measuring cup and she went to town.

Check out the finished product! Ingredients were as follows:

small piece of cookie

banana cut into pieces

water

chocolate chips

rice

Nutella

Then she made a "treat" for Bella. It was made of water, honey nut cheerios and banana. She thought it was grrrreat!
