Kids Cooking Time!


. With the weather being cold and wet, can you think of a better way to spend the afternoon, 
then to have a "cook day".

  • Warm oven, apron, tools and lots of FUN!!
  • Go to the library 
  • Let the kids pick out a fun children cookbook
  • Gather the ingredients and cook away.
Today that's what my grand kids wanted to do...
Make Cookies with Grandma.

A LA PEANUT BUTTER SOUP!
Gather:
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 can, or 1 1/2 cups of chicken soup
  • 3 tablespoons chunky peanut butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon of onion flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and paprika

What you need to do:
Put some water in the bottom half of a double broiler, and put all your ingredients in the top half. Put the double broiler over medium heat. Stir the soup until the peanut butter melts and everything is blended together. The peanut chunks will float on top. When the soup comes to a boil, turn the heat very low and simmer it for 10 minutes.

FYI:  Peanut soup has been around since the 1700's in America. It is believed to come from Africa.
