HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS & KIDS COOKING CLASS

These beautiful, homemade cinnamon rolls are so delicious, and were made by some of my granddaughters at this week’s Kids Cooking Class.

The best Homemade Cinnamon Rolls, made with grandchildren. Recipe is Pioneer Woman. 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 SPECIALTIES FROM THE GRANDKIDS

My cooking classes with the grandchildren focused on breakfast specialties for several classes and we wanted to share some of them.

breakfast specialties, kids cooking classesBreakfast 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.

FUNDRAISERS…UNIQUE FOODS TO DONATE

If you have grandchildren (or children) chances are they are involved in different sports, many of which involve fundraisers. My husband and I have 8 grown children and 13 grandchildren so we have been involved in a lot of fundraising!

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!
