What we've been cooking up so far.

Every Friday, we have what we like to call "our cooking day". Right before lunch we cook/mix/assemble an edible item to help us remember something we learned from the week. Here are few of the things we have fixed.

I for igloos

A is for ants on a log

N is for nest

For some reason(probably because I was having too much fun), I did not get pictures of the T for painted toast and H for frozen hot chocolate. These were definitely the favorites so far.

I was asked by a couple of children in the class for the recipe for the frozen hot chocolate. My family makes these all the time in the summer. They are so easy and very delicious!

Frozen Hot Chocolate

1 c milk (we use skim)

2 1/2 to 3 packets of hot chocolate

1 tsp vanilla

crushed ice

chocolate syrup 

cool whip

In a blender, combine the milk, packets and vanilla. Mix until blended an then add ice( I use a regular size cup and fill it twice with crushed ice). Blend the ice until it is a smooth consistency.

Here is how we like to assemble it:

Drizzle a little of the chocolate syrup in the bottom of a cup. Next, fill with the cold hot chocolate. Add a scoop of cool whip on top and drizzle more syrup on top.
