River and his mom Summer hosted cooking class in November. It was a huge success and lots of fun. The kids made Zucchini Sticks, Pizza and Banana Ice Cream.
Ally seasoned the bread crumbs for the zucchini sticks.
breading the zucchini - dip it in egg, then into the bread crumbs. They were then baked in the oven and served with marinara sauce for dipping. The rule at Cooking Class is that Ally has to try things - she tasted a bite of the raw zucchini - declared she did not like it, but she tasted it.
Getting ready to put topping on her pizza.
Mia made her pizza into a face! Summer had put together all kinds of different toppings - raw spinach, roasted red peppers, raw green peppers, olives, artichokes, tomatoes. It was great. Ally decided she wanted just cheese on her pizza but...
She tried eating some raw spinach! And she liked it. She literally ate handfuls of it.
Banana Ice Cream was the final dish. Did you know you can just blend frozen bananas and it makes ice cream?
From left to right; Auric, Ally, River & Thora tasting the frozen bananas - we try and have the kids taste things in different states, so they each had a piece of the actual frozen banana, and this was a taste of the bananas blended together to a mashed state, but not yet ice cream.
It was pretty funny to see them all gathered around a food processor watching bananas get pulverized.

Turns out the girl loves her some spinach - plain, not cooked, no sauce or dressing.

Ally's pizza smileThe absolute best part of the cooking class came the next day. Becky and Ally and I were shopping at the supermarket and Ally asked "can we get some of that green stuff I liked at Cooking Class?" Of course we said yes and went to the produce aisle and found some organic baby spinach, brought it home, washed and dried it and put it in a bowl.
