Cooking Camp - Day 2

Color-coordinated work stations

This was a busy day with lots of prep. Started the day with a surprise of fully-stocked stations and their cook books.  The kids were impressed with themselves when, in three hours, they had made blueberry muffins from scratch, cooked oatmeal, eaten breakfast, cleaned up, and cooked 4 pounds of ground beef and 8 chicken breasts (to be used later in the week for lunches). They weren’t too crazy about the oatmeal breakfast, but they were good sports and ate it. They flipped over the Chicken Parmesan for lunch, I mean, FLIPPED! They also loved their meatballs and gravy with homemade mashed potatoes. Kid's spirits are still good, and they are doing a fantastic job of keeping their areas clean and working in teams. When Master Chef Eileen told the bunch that they would have popcorn and a movie in the evening, Robert, with shoulders slumped whined, “Do we have to make the popcorn?” Yeah, we are working them hard.

Gold Star for Robert - great cooperation with partner and cleaning both work stations
