We’re getting closer to the end of the school year for the homeschool co-op I teach at (next week being the last week), so, today was official let-the-kids-use-up-all-the-leftovers day. I ran through all of the ingredients with them to make sure that they each knew what each thing was, what it did, and what sorts of ratios it should be used in.
Then, I let them go at it.
They came up with their own “recipes” free of gluten, dairy, soy, nuts, and eggs, substituting things as they ran out of certain ingredients.
It was hilarious and messy and chaotic (so much so that I didn’t get any actual pictures of the process), but they had fun, and, surprisingly, most of the “recipes” came out looking at least vaguely like food. I’m not sure that the taste like food – as I’m not sure what exactly did or did not going into some of the mixing bowls – but, that was up to them to decide once they got out of their last class.
(Things were still bubbling ominously in the oven at the end of our class period, so I told them I would leave everything in bowls once it all looked a little more solid.)
