Cooking with the girls....

today we had some cooking to do and all the girls decided to jump in and help. We documented the day in pictures and video, but alas we didn't get a shot of the dinner just dessert! So here is our day....


The little girls really decided to get in on the cooking action. They came down all dressed and ready to tear that cooking up. I guess they needed to do a little photo shoot first.












Yes, we rushed to wash those hands, we also had a little talk about germs and cooking, very educational!

She is doing really well with a can opener!

Can't cook without our towels, a little tip from Julia Childs!

Grating the zucchini for delicious Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Little Miss also worked as our dishwasher, which is when I started thinking that Mrs. Smockity should make little girl aprons, it would be wonderful for this activity - maybe with a pocket....they would make wonderful Christmas presents!!!!! OK Mrs. Smockity could ya get right on that!!! Just kidding!

I love mine, I was wearing it all day ~ so versatile.

If you were wondering where my dear son was....I asked if he would like to help....



Sweet, sweet big sister is so patient!

So by the end of our cooking we had made a huge batch of spaghetti sauce (enough to give away, to freeze, and to enjoy for dinner), zucchini bread for the freezer, banana bread, and this wonderful pineapple upside down cake. A very fun day!

I'm so very excited....

today 10 year old and I made a wonderful Lemon Meringue Pie. It was so delicious. I used this recipe for the filling and this recipe for the meringue. There was no weepy meringue and the filling was so yummy. We have made it so many times to have the meringue slide right off! So we were very excited with our results. We have an abundance of lemons, as all of our lemon trees are producing beautiful lemons, so it makes me very happy to have finally mastered this pie.
I also make a really tasty lemon fish and lemon cookies but I need to find a few more ways to use up these lemons, I'm not sure how many more gallons of lemonade we can drink and our friends at church are tired of seeing our lemons as most of their trees are in full bloom too!

What are your favorite lemon recipes? I promise I will try them!

We also tried our hand today at making meringue cookies with the left over meringue - they are so delicious and easy to make and low in fat. A plus all around!
