Hey there, lovely readers of Karin’s Kottage! Are you ready for a delightful dose of kIds get creative in the kitchen? My daughter Emily and I are teaching kids cooking classes again. This week, we dove headfirst into a kids’ cooking class that was an absolute blast. The kitchen was abuzz with excitement as little chefs-in-the-making whipped up some morning magic: waffled hash browns, air-fryer French toast sticks, and a homemade Orange Julius drink that was simply scrumptious.
Picture this: a group of eager youngsters armed with potatoes, graters, mini waffle irons and a sprinkle of imagination. Our mission? Crafting the ultimate waffled hash browns. But these weren’t your average hash browns – oh no! Our junior chefs learned the secret to crispy perfection.
First up, the all-important potato prep: washing, peeling and shredding spuds and giving them a good squeeze to eliminate excess moisture (don’t worry, paper towels were our trusty sidekicks).
With a sprinkle of rosemary, salt, pepper, and a drizzle of melted butter, it was waffle iron time!
Speaking of waffles here is one of my favorite fall waffle recipes
The result? Golden-brown hash browns topped with a medley of shredded cheese and perfectly crispy bacon, baked to perfection in a 400-degree oven.
Can you say ‘delicious’?
But the adventure didn’t stop there.
Next on our culinary expedition were air-fryer French toast sticks. We had the kids take a slice of bread and cut it into four delightful sticks, perfect for dipping and devouring.
Our mini-chefs cracked eggs with skill and added a dash of milk and cinnamon for a tantalizing batter. Into the air fryer they went, emerging as crispy delights ready for a drizzle of syrup.
The air fryer magic worked wonders, creating a delectable treat that’s bound to become a breakfast favorite.
And what’s breakfast without a refreshing sip? Our young kitchen adventurers embarked on a journey to concoct the most delightful homemade Orange Julius drink.
Armed with a blender and an array of ingredients, they blended frozen orange juice concentrate, milk, sugar, vanilla, and ice cubes to create a velvety-smooth masterpiece. The result was an explosion of citrusy goodness that left everyone craving more.
As we wrapped up our kitchen escapades, it was heartwarming to see the joy and pride in the eyes of these young chefs. Not only did they master new cooking techniques, but they also discovered the joy of creating scrumptious dishes from scratch.
As the school bells ring once more, these talented kiddos are armed with culinary skills that will make breakfasts a breeze on busy mornings.
So, here’s to the power of culinary curiosity and the joy of creating delicious memories in the kitchen. Until next time, keep those aprons tied and your taste buds ready for another cooking adventure at Karin’s Kottage!
