This summer Cosette has been enjoying the Kids a Cookin’ class offered by the extension service of one of our state universities. This is really a neat program. They offer 4-week sessions several times each year to teach the kids about nutrition and cooking. This summer they are meeting on Tuesday mornings, and Cosette has absolutely LOVED it!
Last week they made Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip cookies that Brock even had to admit were delicious. (That’s hard for a brother to admit!) Today they made Potato Chip Chicken Fingers, French Fries, and Shamrock Shakes. These recipes were so good that I told Cosette that next week she should help me make them at home for supper!
I appreciate this program. It is offered to the public for no fee, and I know the ladies in charge do a lot of work preparing, teaching, and cleaning up. I asked them today if the lessons change each time the classes are offered or if they repeat, and they told me that they change the recipes. So, hopefully Cosette will be able to take more classes after the summer session is finished!
This Smilebox has the recipes for the chicken fingers and cookies. Try them–they’re great!

That is great Cossette. When I make Chocolate Chip Cookies I add some oatmeal, but I never know how it will turn out. Now I have a recipe. Love, Grandma O’B
