Cooking Fun

Ally and I were at Target last week and while there I bought some mini chocolate chips and explained to her that they were excellent for making chocolate chip pancakes. It put some kind of idea in her head and she said "we could do cooking together!"

So we came home and looked thru a cookbook. Ally selected lots of things to cook. We selected 3 and made a shopping list. The next day we went to the store and bought ingredients.

With her groceries !

Guacamole and nachos with ice cream sundaes for dessert. Above Ally is scooping out the avocado for the guacamole. 

We also made salsa

Ally tried some of everything. She did not like the nachos. But she loved the salsa. 

After dinner we made sundaes. We had 3 different kinds of sauce, raspberry that I made from scratch, hot fudge and caramel. We also had whipped cream and cherries.

I squirted whipped cre directly in Ally's mouth - she loved it!

I did it to Becky too...maybe too much?

Ally was so excited to eat her sundae.

She tried it, all 3 sauces and cream, but in the end it was too much and she ended up with a scoo of vanilla with rainbow sprinkles.

Becky went to visit Aunt Beth for the weekend, and Ally and I did more cooking. We made potato chip chicken, and salad bar soup.

Crush the chips

Then dip the chicken in egg then dredge thru the chips.

Ally was very good at this.

She called herself a chip monster.

After we cleaned up and put the chicken in the oven we cut up veggies for the salad bar soup.

The chicken was delish. The soup was not.

We had home made ice cream sandwiches for dessert.

The chicken was so good we made it the next day for lunch!
