Learning to Cook

There's nothing like a rainy day to get the culinary juices flowing! This morning the Haifa kids broke out the measuring cups and bowls and whipped up some homemade pumpkin muffins. Those who participated took turns pouring in the ingredients, as well as walking back and forth to the kitchen to check on the muffins.


The recipe yielded far more batter we anticipated (almost 12 dozen,) and we decided that we are going to share our creations with our special visitors tomorrow. We had a sneak tasting today at snack, and the muffins were a big hit. We hope you come hungry!

  1. 12 dozen!?!? That's a whole lot of cupcakes! Sorry I didn't read this sooner- I would have requested to share! Next time...:)

    Cooking is such a great activity for kids too, on so many levels. They are exposed to the importance of following a written recipe (literacy), measurement (math), turn taking and patience (inhibition/self control), pride in doing a grown up task and creating something wonderful, FUN, and lots more!
