BOYS vs GIRLS

This week's cooking campers fell into one of two groups:  the give-me-the-recipe-and-I've-got-it GIRLS  or the I-love-it-but-I'm-not-quite-sure-what-to-do-with-it BOYS.  It made for a fun and exciting week!

The GIRLS did a great job!  They wrote recipes for us, mixed up the cookie dough without one bit of help,  and always asked what was next and what could they do!  It was awesome to watch them work and teach them a few new skills and a few new recipes.

The BOYS did a great job!  They were so eager to cook and were great at following directions!  They learned a ton about working in the kitchen and it was so fun to watch them figure out how to scoop flour and how to roll cookie dough into balls!  They jumped right in, always asked when they could make this or that, and were so happy to do anything we asked!

We had a few little competitions to keep them on their toes.  BOYS vs GIRLS: which OREO cookie dough came together first.  GIRLS vs BOYS:  which pizza dough formed the smoothest ball, without being too sticky. BOYS vs GIRLS:  who had the most creative pizza shapes?  KANSAS!  That's right Mia!  Your KANSAS shaped pizza made it to the hall of fame!

The score board for the rest was pretty tied up.  We made some pretty tasty food all week.  Every pair of hands was needed to get it done!
