10/23 Halloween Treats
10/30 No Class-Halloween

We'll be learning how to make some quick sweet treats tomorrow. Definitely muffins and brownies and maybe a surprise...

Today's topic...pickling. We did four types, three shown here: Tarragon Green Beans, Traditional Pickled Beets, Spiced Cauliflower, and Fresh Cucumber Dills.

We've restarted for 2015! This week will be making some pickles after I do some shopping at the farmer's market.

Summer is almost here and we've started grilling. We made my dad's famous BBQ Ribs and a tangy Green Bean & Potato Salad. Both were delicious.

We did two American standards today. Southern Fried Chicken and potato salad (my mom's recipe). We also learned how to cut up a chicken today.

We're making cheesecake today! Oooo, baby. (Maybe we'll make a salad for a starter...)

Today's menu: Super Bowl Potato Skins and Cranberry Upside Down Cake
