KIds and Cooking

The best way to get children to eat is to include them in preparing the meal.  Kids will eat what they cook - including vegetables.  The William Sonma in The District at Green Valley is holding classes just for kids.  Stop by and sign up you son or daughter for these fun classes! Dad and mom can come too!

I will publish the results next week

You can also send me your favorite recipe and the best one will be in the next cook book with your name as the author.

Ice Milk

Ice Milk is a lighter version of Ice Cream and it is simple to make at home. You can make this with sugar or a substitute and add any flavors that you wish. This is the base recipe.

3 cups cold milk - I use the 1% but you can use any you like
3/4 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla
pinch of salt - optional

Mix all of the ingredients until the sugar is dissolved.  Pour into an ice cream maker and churn for 30 minutes.  When it is the consistency of soft serve stop the machine. Take the dasher out, cover the mixture and place in the freezer for 2 - 4 hours to cure.  You can use it before you let it get a hard freeze.  This is also the time to add other ingredients like crushed cookies or chocolate fudge. 

If you do not have an automatic ice cream machine just put in a bowl and stir it every 30 minutes .  It will be fine.
