Fun Recipe: Cookie taco Shells
Makes 3 cookies per chef
Cookie Taco Shells
Each chef needs:
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
Pinch of ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 ½ teaspoons unsalted butter, softened
Aluminum foil (to share)
1. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
2. Shake your hips and get ready to mix! Stir the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon in a bowl. Then whisk in the vanilla and egg. Mix lightly until smooth, then fold in the butter. Let chill for 5 minutes in the freezer.
3. Ladle the cookie dough into 3 circle shapes about 3 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake for 5 to 6 minutes, until golden brown.
5. While the cookies are baking, scrunch some aluminum foil into a log shape, about 12 inches long and 1 inch thick.
6. After the cookies have cooled for 1 minute, you must move fast! Drape a warm cookie over the foil log. Repeat with the remaining cookies. Once the cookies are cool, remove the foil carefully. You've just magically transformed the cookie into taco shells!
Sweet "Meat" Filling
Each chef needs:
1/4 cup Bean Appetit Flour Blend (see above)
1 teaspoon coca powder
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons milk
1 tablespoon chocolate chips
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
2. Wink to each other, as if to let them in on the secret that you're about to trick someone. Combine the flour blend, cocoa powder, brown sugar and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Then add the olive oil, vinegar, water and milk and stir until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
3. Spray a mini muffin pan and pour in the cake batter. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean.
4. Even though you'll want to devour the cakes right away, let them cool enough so that you can break them up into small chunks to look like ground beef. Place the "meat" in the taco shells. Ask the person to your right, "Where's the beef?"
Taco Toppings
Each Chef Needs The Following Ingredients:
1 piece green fruit leather
1 slice peach
1 strawberry
Rip the fruit leather into small strips and top your taco with "lettuce." Use a butter knife to cut the peach slice and strawberry into small pieces. Top your taco with your "cheese" and "tomato." Before tasting your tacos, shout whatever month it is (even if it's not April), then the word "fools" such as "February fool"
From the book Bean Appetit by Shannon Payette Seip and Kelly Parthen, with Carisa Dixon
Arts & Crafts: How to make floam
Step 1.
Supplies:
2 tsp of borax (found on the laundry isle of your supper market)
1/2 cup of warm water
1/4 cup of warm water
2 oz. of white school glue (I haven’t used Elmer’s glue since they changed the formula, I have used other, cheaper brands)
1 & 1/3 cups of polystyrene beads (I have a huge bag left over from past projects, can be found where you can find supplies of bean bag chairs, if you can’t find any, you can grate up some Styrofoam cups)
Optional: 3-5 drops of food coloring if color is desired
Quart zip closure bag
Measuring cups
Measuring spoons
Bowls
Spoons
Step 2. Measure out the 2 tsp. of borax powder into a bowl. Slightly rounded teaspoonful worked for a stiffer floam.
Step 3. Add ½ cup of very warm water and stir until the crystals have all dissolved. Now for a comment about safety. Borax is toxic, and can be harmful if not handled safely. This part is for adults to handle. Be sure the equipment is totally cleaned before using again.
Step 4. In another container, put 2 ounces of white glue and ¼ cup warm water.
Step 5. Add food coloring at this point.
Step 6. Stir with a different spoon, (to prevent cross contamination,) until the glue, water and coloring are completely mixed.
Step 7. Measure out your 1 1/3 cups of the polystyrene beads and have them ready.
Step 8. Add enough beads to make 2 cups.
Step 9. Pour the glue mixture into the zip closure bag,
Step 10. Add the polystyrene beads and finally the borax solution.
Step 11. Quickly zip the bag closed and start squishing the 3 parts together until they become as one.
Step 12. Enjoy!
