Kitchen "Creation Station"
From when I could toddle on my own, I've loved being in the kitchen. I remember many Sunday afternoons when I would ask to make cookies or experiment with ingredients to create a delicacy. Or when I was six and seven, and took cooking classes at the fancy Clayton Neiman-Marcus cooking school. Or even when we would play outside, there was always a restaurant with a nut/leaf/hollyberry dish to serve. I'm sure I followed recipes at some point, but I much prefer the creative experimental approach.
Now I'm a momma, and I have two helpers--one who loves to experiment and one who will only follow the recipe. They are in training--to be independent, to be husbands and fathers, and to serve in this broken world. I figured some kitchen creativity is essential in that training. Well, that and some TKD.
Here are some of our favorites:
We are not afraid to experiment:
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Butterscotch Banana Bread on a Snow Day
Late summer tomatoes from the garden:
Green Tomato Salsa Verde
Christmas morning tradition:
Chocolate Chip Peppermint Scones
Pumpkin
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
