Welcome to our Nov. Meeting...Come in your PJ'S!!!

Welcome to our PJ party!

We will be cooking up scrambled eggs and pancakes at this meeting!

We started with our 4H motto, pledge and prayer!

Time for pancakes! The possibilities are endless with pancakes!

You can add chocolate chips, blueberries, strawberries, pumpkin, bananas, apples, etc.!

Stir your pancake mixture until it is WET! Don't stir the lumps out! Your pancakes will be tough and not light and fluffy!

How do you know when the griddle is ready for your pancake mix?

Sprinkle water on it and the drops will DANCE!!!

How do you know when it's time to flip your pancake?

When it's nice and bubbly!

We discussed different ways to "spice" up our eggs!

You can add grated cheese, Parmesan cheese, salsa, ketchup!

Be creative when your cooking!

We introduced the food pyramid tonight! Eggs are apart of the MEAT group!

They are great protein for our body's!

Afew of our eggheads(just kidding)...I mean, cute girls!

We practiced making scrambled eggs.

Each child cracked their own egg and practiced whisking!

Cleaning up is important!

No one wants food from a dirty kitchen!

If you get things out...PUT THEM UP!!!!

The brave girls that dressed in their PJ's with me!

I get to pretend I'm Paula Dean at these meetings...SO FUN!!!

Things you need to remember for our Dec. meeting...

You need to bring a binder! A special binder for your cooking class and recipes!

You need to bring your report.

A small report is due! Get in the kitchen, cook something up and report on it!

The report needs to be about a page in length and pictures would be great!

Practice measuring, reading instructions and recipes, scrambling eggs and making pancakes!!!

Learning to cook is a process!

Practice makes perfect!

Learning To Measure!

Well, Oct. 18th was our very first Food and Nutrition meeting! Our Sept. meeting was canceled due to Hurricane Ike! We had a great first meeting! Mrs. Jana helped us take care of business! We discussed important dates. We discussed possible fund raising ideas and because we are a very new club...we have absolutely NO BUDGET! Donations are welcome and preferred! Cooking can be costly! We also talked about some of our goals for the year!

We are so excited about this new CLUB!!!
We said our 4H pledges!
We had a great turnout for our meeting! Over 20 kids present!

Look at all of those BOYS!!! Yeah!!!

We baked cupcakes and iced them! They were pumpkins...so cute!

We taught them the importance of following instructions. They also learned how to measure wet ingredients, dry ingredients and stick butter!

We talked about the proper way to crack eggs...

and use a mixer!!! (For the FIRST time!) Go Emily!

We started an assembly line! Orange icing, green icing and a pretzel for the stem!

Boys can cook too!!!! Their wives will love and appreciate them someday!

We had such a good time of fun and learning!

A little pop quiz at the end! The kids were so well behaved and really seemed to enjoy themselves! I think we are going to have a great year!

Next meeting..... Nov. 18th!!!!

PJ party!

We will be learning how to make scrambled eggs and pancakes!

We will also be introducing the Food Pyramid and discussing the importance of EXERCISE!!!

All kids need to practice reading recipes and instructions this month! Also, practice measuring!
