It's never too early for kids to learn how to cook or bake, but the process can be tougher than anticipated. Following these top tips will ensure that cooking with your kids is safe, fun, and well worth the mess.
Scalloped Pineapple
The recipe I used for this side dish came from the Moultrie County Homemakers Extension Association cookbook many years ago. This recipe is much like it. It's a good side to ham, or try it with pork or chicken.
½ c. melted butter1 c. white or brown sugar½ c. milk4 c. soft breadcrumbs3 beaten eggs1 28 oz. can crushed pineapple, undrained
Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or similar sized casserole dish.
Mix butter, sugar, milk and breadcrumbs. Add pineapple and eggs and stir until well blended.
Bake for 45 minutes until golden brown.
Nutter Butter Truffles
Of all of the truffle recipes out there, this is the only one I have used regularly for the holidays or for gifts. The easiest dipping tool I've found is a plastic fork with the middle tine removed.
