Menu Plan for the Week of February 7th.

I thought I would start today’s menu post by sharing some photos of my daughter making her first pie.  Julia is 10 years old and is such a big help around the house.  However, learning to cook is something she has only recently wanted to know.  So, this weekend we made a pie.

Around Thanksgiving my sister-in-law let me borrow her new cookbook.  It was The Amish Cook’s Baking Book.  I enjoyed reading the cookbook and loved the little stories that were shared along with the recipes.  My daughter and I copied a few of the recipes we wanted to try.  One was the Pat-a-Pan Pie Crust recipe and another was a recipe for Chocolate Chip Pie.  The crust was very easy and we just mixed all of the ingredients right in the pan. 

 

 

Once the pie cooled she and I tried it.  (Someday she won’t be happy I posted a picture of her with food in her mouth.)  The pie was very rich and very tasty.  Of course, Joshua couldn’t have any because of his allergies and my husband was good and didn’t eat any because of his diabetes.  This might be the kind of pie to take to a carry-in.  We had a fun time together and I was happy to share this time of learning with my daughter.

I am going to start just posting our supper menus since I don’t plan our breakfasts and lunches usually.
