Cooking is a creative expression of love for most families. When I cook, I want really good recipes that my family will enjoy, and won't stress me out at supper time. My goal is for time spent in the kitchen to be memorable teaching moments with my kiddos... full of love, laughter, and great conversation! At the same time, the kids are learning to prepare meals and learn a little math in the best school they could attend... our kitchen! Let's get cookin' and share some recipes! :)
UPDATE:
I am turning this blog over to my sweet Emma who will share some of her recipes for kids. Welcome, Emma! :)

Homemade Pie Crust

I have always heard that pie crust is so hard to make, and have never made my own until Thanksgiving of this year!  It was super easy so buttery yummy, we LOVED it!  I made it for Apple Pie, Pecan Pie, and Chicken Pot Pie!  ;)

Homemade Pie Crust:

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter, chilled and diced
1/4 cup ice water

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles courase crumbs. Stir in water, a tablespoon at a time, until misture forms a ball. Wrap in plastic & refridgerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

Roll dough out to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Place crust in pie plate, Press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie plate.
