I am challenging my kids to take a recipe from a regular cookbook and make it gluten free. I bought them the Pillsbury Kids Cookbook
They both chose 3 different recipes to try. My son picked: Breakfast Biscuits, Hot Diggity Dog Pizza Boats, and Frozen Brownie Sundae. My daughter picked: S’more Hot Cereal, Italian Beef Dippers, and S’mores Nachos . So our challenge begins next week. I will share the original recipe and our “gluten free version” each Wednesday.
My goal for this recipe challenge is:
- I want them to both learn to use what they have and adapt to their needs (celiac disease and diabetes)
- I want them to write out a grocery list and go shop for the items on their list
- I want them to read a recipe from start to finish and actually do it.
- I want them to learn to cook!
The bottom line is I want them to learn to cook. I love using recipes and I don’t hardly every “cook from memory” I am a recipe follower. I want them to learn too. Also, someday my son will be on his own and he needs to know how to cook for himself. My daughter doesn’t enjoy cooking, but I am hoping that allowing her to choose recipes might inspire her.
