KOOKING WITH KAYLEIGH SWEET TREAT

Kayleigh decided to make a berry trufle inspired snack.  Berry trifle is made with frozen berries or preserves, purchased short bred cookies, and vanilla pudding.

Ingredients:

• 1 pack of Shortbread cookies
• 1 package  frozen (or fresh if in season) raspberries, blackberries or  strawberries
• 1 package  vanilla pudding
• milk or in this case we used Almond Breeze
• sweetened whipped cream or whipped topping

She whipped up the pudding  and set it in the fridge to

settle...then called some friends to come over and enjoy the goodies too.

They made layers of the short bread...she smartly though putting the cookie in a baggie and

smashing it to bits--REALLY she just like the though of pounding the - out of something! ~ LOL~

Happiness is.....{{CLAY MAKING}}

Earlier this week while reading  Green Eggs & Moms  my kids saw a great clay-doh recipe they  had to run and see that we had all the makings in the kitchen (WHEW WE DID!) They had SO much fun making it!! Making clay dough with your child is fun and simple. The ingredients needed are:

• 1/4 cup salt
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 cup flour
• food coloring

lets begin!!!

waiting for his turn...

friend joined in...look at that cool color!!!!

New Item to my blog--

Many of the blogs I read are filled with wonderful recipes. While I like to cook and do daily - I believe there is NOTHING better then a home cooked meal. I do it because its a need...not really a love  My daughter on the other hand took up a cooking class this year in school and her love for cooking has REALLY blossomed. My kids have pitched in in the kitchen at different times, but after her class my daughter felt like she was ready to go at it alone---well I was there with the camera of course.  =^D

That bring us to the new segment I'll be sharing on my blog  KOOKING with KAYLEIGH!!    Along the way some of your recipes may pop up!

The first dish she wanted to make is one she's been helping me cook for many years. Lasagna!!!!!
There are many recipes; we followed a basic three layer one. 


1 box of Lasagna noodles
1 lbs of beef, sausage, turkey
1 jar of sauce
16 oz mozzarella (or more if you really like it cheesy!)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan 
1/2 ricotta 
1 egg
salt 
pepper


Cook up your meat choice, Cook the noodles according to the box...while they are cooking
 mix the Parmesan,ricotta and egg in a bowl, adding a lil salt and pepper to your liking.


I liked to put everything in bowls to make it EZ to put on the layers.


Put a layer of sauce on the bottom of the pan, noodles and more sauce. Another layer of noodles then

ricotta mix, sauce and beef...

then mozzarella!!! As you can see we are a cheese loving family!!! Do  these steps again for another layer. Then cover with foil and bake at 375 for 30 minutes.

THEN ENJOY!!!!!!!!
