Friday Fruitcakes

It's March, welcome to spring everyone!

Enumclaw Adventures has started a new tradition on Fabulous Fridays...we are cooking! That's right, look out, our little chefs are learning frying, brewing and baking up a storm in the kitchen.

What's been on the menu you ask?

Linda's oatmeal chocolate chip cookies...so tasty!

We were too busy running around the kitchen to get any pictures of the process or the chocolate chip covered faces afterward, but they were DELICIOUS!

 

Potato Wedges!

 We found this simple recipe in a kids cooking book at the Enumclaw King County Library. All we did was cut a couple of potatos, cover them with some olive oil and seasoning, plop in the oven and walla!

Chocolate Covered Bananas

This was another simple and very tasty recipe we found in the kids cooking book. This is not our picture, but I would say our finished product looked just as great...the two seconds between it being complete and gulped down by all of us Fruitcakes;)

 

Strawberry Fruit Leather

 We found this recipe on pinterest and decided to give it a whirl. We simply put 3 cups of fresh strawberries and a tablespoon of honey in the blender, spread the blended contents on a cookie sheet and put in the oven for 1.5-2 hours.

Eeeeeek!

(What we hope for next time!)

 

As you may be able to see this was a learning experience for us. We burnt the edges terribly and the middle was still uncooked. But this Friday Fruitcakes group was great at taking the positives from this flop. We had fun in the process and learned not all recipes are as easy as they seem. We also learned parchment paper is different than wax paper! So there you have it!

 

Friday Fruitcakes is having a blast making messes and new creations in the kitchen each Friday, we will be sure to take more pictures and share our delicious wins...and disasters...with you!
