    These cookies are so delicious and so incredibly easy to make. All you need is graham crackers, a sharp cookie cutter, marshmallows, and Hershey kisses. I had quite a few “fails” but everyone enjoyed snacking on the ones that broke. Cut the marshmallows in half and place them on the graham cracker rounds.  Set your…

    As I mentioned last week we made the most scrumptious apple chips when we were studying Johnny Appleseed.  We used a mandolin to cut the apples in very thin slices. We placed the apple slices on the trays of the dehydrator. We found this wonderful cinnamon and sugar grinder at Trader Joes. The kids ground…

    We have been studying explorers.  We found the Franklin expedition particularly interesting (see previous post).  When reading the tales of all these explorers you naturally read about the trials and tribulations with their food.  They had to bring items that could last as long as possible.  Beef jerky, hardtack, and salted fish were all common…

    Visually, French macarons are just lovely.  After watching the new American Girl movie, “Grace Stirs Up Success” we were seriously motivated to try and bake macarons ourselves.  Based on the reviews we settled on this recipe on food.com.  We were happy with our sweet, pink confections.  Instead of food coloring we used Wilton pink cake…

    Oreo cheesecake cookies are a great recipe to make with the littlest of chefs.  Particularly, if you have one of those children who wants to make a recipe completely on their own.  This recipe does not use eggs which reduces the need for adult assistance.
