Oh, my goodness! Our trip was incredible! St. Petersburg, Stockholm, and the "Little Mermaid" in Copenhagen were my favorites. I'm a "child watcher" so I loved looking at all the beautiful children. Sorry I didn't get to do a post, but it was a busy "on the bus" - "off the bus" week. Besides, when you're paying $1.00 a minute to use the computer you realize you don't have anything that important to say that can't wait until you get home.
Can you believe it's almost July? You'll have to check out my website with the Parent Power Pak. I've been working on it for months, and I hope you'll get lots of ideas to engage families in your program this coming hear.
My brain is jumbled (8 hour time difference from Russia to SC), so I'll just give you a great summer recipe today. I promise to do better in the days ahead.
Summer Cobbler
With all the
berries and fresh fruit available, I wanted to share my favorite cobbler
recipe. If you “don’t cook,” you
can do this! If you are a “chef”
you’ll enjoy it just as well!
You will need:
1 stick butter cut
into pieces (You can use ½ stick
if it matters.)
1 cup sugar
1 cup all purpose
flour
1 cup milk
2 TBS baking
powder
½ tsp. salt
3 cups fruit
(blueberries, raspberries, peaches, etc. – fresh or frozen)
Preheat the oven
to 350. Put the butter in the
bottom of a 9” x 9” pan and place in the oven to melt. Combine the other ingredients (except
the fruit) in a mixing bowl.
Remove pan from the oven and pour the batter on top of the melted
butter. Place fruit on top and
return to the oven for 50-60 minutes until crust is golden brown. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped
cream on top.
Hint! For the 4th of July use 2
cups of blueberries and 1 cup of raspberries. When you top with vanilla ice cream you’ll have a red,
white, and blue dessert!
