School for Momma

As the last post hinted at, while teaching my children their ABCs and 123s I am also teaching them the love of cooking while exploring and experimenting. The other night i attempted for the 3rd time to make yogurt in a crock pot and was finally rewarded with success.

Thank you to Chickens in the Road for the wonderful recipe:

Today I am experimenting with said yogurt by adding
And then placing it not into the fridge but into the freezer. Fingers crossed we will have Homemade Butterscotch Frozen Yogurt for dessert tonight.


As for experimenting with things that swim, my Little Emma has decided that fish is not all that bad after all. Especially after devouring
Baked Tilipia and Homemade Potato Chips.

Recipe is sooo easy and soo simple and sooo easy adaptable to your tastes:
Purchase enough tilipia for your family, then sprinkle some lemon juice over it, followed by melted butter, and topped with a sprinkling of fresh chopped garlic. Place in the oven at 350 and bake for roughly 20 minutes or until white and flaking off with a fork.

Potato chips I have never been able to master but a good friend suggested to use less oil. So we sliced the potatoes very thin, then placed 10 at a time into our frying pan with about 2" of  hot oil in the bottom. Allow then to turn nice and brown. Remove from fryer and allow to dry on a paper towel. While on the paper towel sprinkle with some salt and vinegar.

That's it. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezey.
