Cooking Class Questions Answered

I have received a few questions regarding our cooking class and I thought I would try to answer them all here. Our "Cooking with Kids" class started when our church started small life groups. These groups are started by someone who has an idea of something that they would like to get together and share with others, like going to the movies, cooking, playing cards, crafting, etc. My Aunt and Uncle brought up the idea of cooking with kids and I was right on board with it. My kids love cooking and I thought it was a great idea. We just had our second "class" and it is growing. Everyone is having so much fun!

Where did I find those adorable aprons? Felicia's apron with the chef hat was from Target. My mom bought it for her, but when she tried to get one for Mady, they were sold out. So she bought an apron at a craft store and helped Madelyn decorate it with fabric paint and foam stamps. It turned out very cute and they are both so proud of them!

You may have noticed the cardboard on the floor from my last cooking with kids post. That was there in preparation for Donut Day so the floor did not get to slippery from the oil. Although, we may get a little messy, we don't usually have to cover the floor with anything! LOL!

Of course, I have had a few requests for some of the recipes that we made, so I have posted the recipe for the Skillet Spaghetti below. It was delicious and super easy:0)



Skillet Spaghetti

1 lb. ground beef
3 cups water
2 cans (11 1/2 oz. each) tomato juice
1 can (6 oz.) tomato paste
2 T. dried minced onions
1-2 T. chili powder
1 1/2 t. dried oregano
1 t. sugar
1 t. salt
1 t. garlic salt
1 package (7oz.) spaghetti
grated Parmesan cheese, optional

In a skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add the water, tomato juice, tomato paste, and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Add uncooked spaghetti. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until the spaghetti is tender, stirring frequently. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.
