Cooking Kids

Today was my first kids’ cooking club. The kids had so much fun. If you’re thinking about starting one, I’d say go for it. We made apple roll-ups, apple punch and apple frogs. My daughter is pictured here with her apple frog.

We started by reading a story related to apples. I did this while waiting for the last few kids to show up. Once all the kids were here, we moved into the dining room and started working on our roll-ups. I diced the apples beforehand and filled little applesauce cups with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. The kids flattened their biscuit, piled apples on top and then sprinkled it with sugar and cinnamon. The moms helped fold it up and then the kids sprinkled more sugar and cinnamon on top. We baked these while the kids worked on making the punch and their frogs.

For the frogs, I presliced the apples and cut up the grapes. The kids were given two apple slices, some mini chocolate chips, a sliced grape, a piece of red licorice and some peanut butter. They spread peanut butter on one slice of the apple and glued them together to create the frog face. They then glued the grapes on for eyes and put the chocolate chips in the middle for pupils. They also added the red licorice for the fly catching frog tongue.

Overall it went smoothly. What I learned from this first time was that next time I need to provide baby wipes. Other than that, everything went well. Next month’s kids’ cooking club theme is pumpkins and popcorn.
