Almond French Toast
Since we love French Toast so much we decided to try another new variation! Almond French Toast has a few more steps then other versions so this recipe is for the intermediate Little Chef. The first step is to toast the almonds. In a small saucepan add the almonds and stir them frequently for 5 to 10 minutes. Ours took 10 minutes on medium heat.
The second step is to compile the dipping mixture. We like to start with the eggs only in a shallow dish. This way if my Little Chefs get any ...

Aileen’s Punch
Do you ever have a party and want something new to drink? We wanted to find a recipe we haven't tried before. Aileen's Punch was rated highly on Allrecipes so we decided to see how we liked it.
This recipe is easy to prepare. Any Little Chef can execute this recipe with the help of opening the cans. Everything should be chilled and thawed in the refrigerator. We like our beverages very cold so this is a crucial step. Make sure you have a very large punch bowl and combine all the ingredients. ...
Spaghetti Gelato
Spaghetti Gelato is so fun to make with Little Chefs! This idea came from Cafe Bella Rue. You can make this for a fun dessert or would even be great for April Fool's day! Actually, my Little Chefs LOVE planning Halloween parties. This would be a spooky dessert if we named it bloody brains! It would even be great for April Fool's Day.
The key to this dessert is to freeze the rice strainer and the serving plate. I had to explain this to my Little Chefs. If the gelato or ice cream is cold ...

Mango and Kiwi Sauces
Whenever we watch cooking shows and they make desserts they usually have beautiful sauces to compliment the main part. It doesn't look that hard to make so we decided to give it a try for the first time ever! We found these mango and kiwi sauce recipes within a dessert recipe. We always need to have a recipe when we try something for the first time. I'm trying to teach my Little Chefs they need to have a base knowledge before they start creating their own recipes.
To our surprise both ...
Restaurant Review: Cafe Bella Rue
Cafe Bella Rue has a great first impression. They are located west of Salt Lake City, Utah in Daybreak. Daybreak has a shopping center, SoDa Row, and Cafe Bella Rue is right there in the heart of it all. Within a minute after walking into a restaurant you can tell by the atmosphere what you should expect. Being greeted by a couple employees (one who told me a little about the menu and in fact apologized for part of the special menu white board being a little rubbed off by some small patrons) ...
Simple Candied Orange Peel
It's funny how the title of this recipe has 'simple' in the name. I suppose it really is simple, but it is very time consuming! We have seen candied orange peel on a variety of cooking shows and decided to try it. We went to the store and grabbed a couple oranges along with the usual; milk, eggs and yogurt.
The first step is to cut the oranges in a way that you can take the middle out with very minimal damage to the outside peel.
We just cut the oranges into segments then ...
Preserving the Harvest: Blanching and Freezing Green Beans
We have discovered it is fun to not only learn to cook, but to also learn where foods come from and how to preserve them for later. We have dehydrated apricots, made jam and froze apricots for a crisp. We were given some fresh green beans from Grandpa’s garden. Of course we had some for dinner last night, but we still had A LOT left. I thought it would be great to teach my Little Chefs how to blanch and freeze green beans. Because of the boiling water involved adult supervision/help is an ...

Egg in the Hole Grilled Cheese Sandwich
When school was first out and the Little Chefs are very excited for the "best summer ever." At our first summer lunch at home Little Chef A said, "Can we NOT have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at all this summer?" In the April 2012 Food Network Magazine there was a tear out with 50 different grilled cheese recipes. We read through them all and chose a few we thought sounded good. The first one we wanted to try was Egg in a Hole.
We found this recipe to be quick. It is very ...
Preserving the Harvest: Apricot Jam
Fantastic Thursday is still up. Link up what you have been up to and see what others have been doing.
Remember the apricots we got from my parents tree? We dehydrated some, made apricot crisp with some and we even froze some apricots to make apricot crisp later. We STILL had more so Little Chef A was amazingly helpful and made apricot jam with me. She stayed with me from beginning to end! She was VERY proud of herself for this accomplishment!
She is the one who takes a PB&J; sandwich to ...
