Cooking 101




A few of us moms got together and held cooking classes for some of our children. At my house I taught the group of 5 to make bread sticks. At the next class Anne Marie (Hayley's mom) taught them how to make homemade spaghetti. And at the last cooking class, Tara (Madalyn and Lauren's mom) taught how to make pumpkin pie and a green salad. All of us had so much fun. And the girls really looked forward to it. For the 4th class, the girls had to cook for us moms. We sat back and visited. They did REALLY well. The mess wasn't too big and the food was very good. Of course between the three of us moms we had 14 children combined. I was glad the other moms were willing to host the cooking class in their homes, all those children can be a bit overwhelming. But you can't beat good food and great company. The girls learned some great cooking skills (and so did I). And it was a nice way to break up the summer. Way to go girls!
