A Book and A Bite - Thanksgiving

Luke and I went to the latest Book and a Bite cooking class last week, with a Thanksgiving Theme.  Tayley (Luke’s friend Taven’s mom) was the teacher this time, and she read 2 great books, one about an apple farm, and one about a Turkey Ball.  There were ten kids at this class – a great number!

First was the apple story, and then we made Caramel Apples!

First they chopped up peanuts and M&M’s to dip their apples in.

Next, Tayley read The Turkey Ball.

The cooking project for this book was a turkey and a pilgrim hat.  First, Luke got to make turkeys out of Fudge Stripe cookies, marshmallows, and candy corn.

Then they made pilgrim hats by dipping a marshmallow in chocolate, then putting it on another fudge stripe cookie and piping on a yellow buckle.

And the finished products! Luke chose to eat one of his turkeys before we went home, and we saved the rest to show Daddy and Britney when we got home.

Speaking of Britney – she’s Vance’s cousin who will be staying with us for a while. The kids are having a blast playing with her!
