I was looking through an older cookbook that was put together by the Junior League of Charleston WV when I saw this recipe. I have made versions of this, using chocolate, banana, lemon, vanilla, or butterscotch pudding, but this one had fresh strawberries folded into the pudding and I thought it really sounded good. This recipe, Strawberry Cream Dessert won first place in its division in the 1983 WV Strawberry Festival. That was good enough for me! Continue reading STRAWBERRY CREAM DESSERT-KIDS COOKING CLASS

The past few classes we have been working on breakfast recipes. We have done simple things like cooking bacon and eggs to making souffles, wraps, quiche, omelets, a crostada, and French toast. I wanted to teach them the art of making homemade cinnamon rolls, even if only this one time in their life. I know that most people don’t take time to do this anymore but I want them to remember doing this with me. Continue reading HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS & KIDS COOKING CLASS

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, but several of my grandchildren told me they do not like to eat breakfast. They prefer to eat a pop-tart, breakfast bar, or have a parfait. I wanted to show them a variety of foods they could make and would probably like to eat. We came up with some old and new breakfast specialties.

When I am asked to donate something for fundraisers, I go through my list of foods that have been the most popular. I like to send things other than hot dogs, pizza, or nachos.
One easy recipe is sugar cookies that have been cut out with alphabet cookie cutters, then decorated with their team colors. I add them to cookie bags and tie with team color ribbons. My recipe for Decorated Sugar Cookies
Another fun treat is Pepperoni Rolls. I think they may be a food common in WV but not some other states. We always make them for parties, tailgates, race weekends, camping, and any sports event. My children knew how to make them when they went to college and their friends always wanted them. When my son moved to Denver, Co the people he met were not familiar with them so now he has them hooked!
