Homemaker in the Making

 

She gets up while it is still night;  she provides food for her family...  (Proverbs 31:15)

                                      

My little homemaker in the making.  I'm not sure if she will let me cook anymore.  She has really taken a joy to cooking.

Last night she prepared Chinese fried rice and hot and sour soup.  We attempted egg rolls but making the wraps from scratch was not as easy as it sounded.  

This morning she was up before the other members of the household, making breakfast.  She prepared homemade pancakes and eggs.

This evening she asked to make pizza.  She loves to make Pioneer Woman's from scratch pizza dough, you can find here http://thenoshery.com/2010/02/26/pioneer-womans-pizza-crust/.  We do substitute half the flour with fresh ground wheat.  Oh, they were so delicious!  For dessert she made no bake cookies http://allrecipes.com/recipe/unbaked-chocolate-oatmeal-cookies/detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Title&e11=unbaked%20chocolate%20oatmeal%20cookies&e8=Quick%20Search&event10=1&e7=Home%20Page.  Our alterations: omit coconut flakes, raisins, walnuts.  Reduce sugar to 1 cup.  Cacao powder in place of cocoa powder, when we have it.  We use raw milk and peanut butter made with just peanuts.  These are always devoured real quick. 

I have been taking advantage of all this cooking she is doing and planing out future weeks of school for us.  I can honestly say it has been such a blessing for me and a joy to see her want to serve our family.
