WHAT IS SO EDUCATIONAL ABOUT COOKING?

  • Three year olds learn the principles of good nutrition.
  • Five year olds learn to use a paring knife to cut salad veggies.
  • Eight year olds learn hands-on fractions; ten year olds can practice economics (I paid 45¢ for this can of 8 oz. and $1.25 for this bag of 20 oz.... which is cheaper?)
  • Fourteen year olds can plan a whole meal, and maybe shop for it.
  • Sixteen year olds can run the kitchen for a week as a test for adulthood.

No matter the age, there is MUCH to be learned!  Here's a quick, simple fall recipe for a busy parent...

  

Pumpkin Pie

1             16oz. Can             Pumpkin

1             12 oz. Can            Sweetened Condensed Milk

2              Eggs

1              teaspoon             Pumpkin Pie Spice

1              Unbaked             (Readymade) Pie Shell

  

Combine pumpkin, milk, eggs, and pumpkin pie spice.  Pour into pie shell.  Bake 15 minutes at 425°; then reduce heat and bake 35-40 minutes longer at 350°.
