Berries and Cream   We made coconut whipped topping to put on our strawberries and blueberries. All you need is: 1 can (full fat) coconut milk and powdered sugar You will also need: a cold mixing bowl a cold whisk and a can opener You will want to be sure to have the can of coconut milk stay in the refrigerator over night to allow the cream to rise to the top. Please remember not to tip the can over or shake it up so the cream doesn’t get mixed in again. Next you can open the can and scoop out the cream being careful not to get the watery part. Then you will whip in the powdered sugar until it gets to the taste and texture you like. This had a great coconut taste to it and then we decided to add in some lime juice which was really good. and there you...

Watermelon Basket and Watermelon Pops   We had fun with a watermelon today. All you need is: 1 Watermelon Knives (whatever you find works best) Bowl Ice pop mold Melon ball scoop Strainer First we started halfway down the watermelon and cut almost to the center and then cut the other side almost to the center.

After we scooped out all the melon balls we started scraping it clean. We poured the juice through a strainer and into a cup to save for our ice pops. Next we poured it into the ice pop molds. Here we have the ice pops and the basket and then we decided to cut out...

Oatmeal Cookies Our little brother woke up wanting to make cookies. Our mom searched through to see what we had and came up with the idea of oatmeal cookies.

We didn’t have brown sugar but we did have sugar, a little molasses and honey. So…. let’s get started!! First we started out by making our applesauce. We didn’t want the apples to turn brown so we made orange juice to soak them in. We forgot to take a picture while peeling and coring the apple but this is one of our favorite kitchen tools to work with. Here are the apples all cored, peeled, cut up and soaking in the orange juice...
