I Scream, You Scream We All Scream for Ice Cream!

This was quite a fun-filled week. All of the seventh grade students made Oreo Cookie Ice Cream in our Consumer Education Lab.  The students couldn't believe how easy it was to make the recipe. They were very proud of themselves. I must admit it did taste yummy. 

The seventh graders will be bringing their recipe packets home this week. I hope they continue to cook at home.

The 8th grade students shared their Family Meal Projects with fellow classmates.  I was very impressed with how well each student did on their project.  Nice job!

Happy Holidays to you!

Sincerely,

Buffet Lab

The 8th grade students prepared quite a feast this week. They did a fine job peeling, coring, paring, cutting, chopping, mixing, baking, tossing, and stirring strawberry delight jello, taco salad, cheesy potato casserole and apple crisp.

The students used all of the skills they have acquired this semester to prepare this well-balanced meal. Hopefully they shared some of their talents with you as they cooked their food for their Family Meal Project. A night off of kitchen duty is always nice!

Enjoy your weekend!

Cheeseburger Pizza

Now that the seventh grade students have several foods' labs behind them things are settling down a bit. Each class was able to get the lab completed on time. The students also did well with their clean up tasks this week.

We made Cheeseburger Pizza in our lab this week. The students did a great job making and baking the crust and assembling the pizza.  I was impressed with how well each pizza turned out! The students also did a fine job consuming their pizzas.

Have a nice weekend!
