Cooking Camp - Day 4

     Another busy day!  We made French toast, and then the kids got to experiment with add-ins for their chocolate chip cookies.  This turned out to be quite a delicious experiment.

For lunch, the kids were given some free reign to turn cooked chicken breasts into chicken salad.  They are REALLY taking their cooking seriously!  They were chopping, and mixing, and tasting, and spicing, until they were proud to share their results with everyone.  Each chicken salad tasted different, and they were all yummy.

    For a little out-of-the-kitchen fun, The kids spent a couple hours at the community center pool.  They were pretty wiped out, so then we just all had a little down time.  For dinner, we made homemade Macaroni and Cheese, salad, and Bisquick Biscuits.  Sorry, we were too busy eating to take pictures, but it did look as good as it tasted.
     I wish I could put in words the excitement, interest, and hard work that these kids are putting in to this cooking camp.  They are great about cleaning up, sharing, and working together.  And wait until you see their knife skills in action!  They are slicing and dicing fools!  (And still no bandaids required)

Gold star for Skye -     she is almost always the first one ready at her station, and is always attentive to the master chefs and their instructions.
