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!

Get to cookin!!!!
