Kids Cooking Despite Extreme Temperatures

Despite temperatures over 90°F in our kitchen, and even higher outside, my kids are still experimenting with cooking.  My 13 year-old got out her old Kid Zone magazines and found a recipe to make (no longer in print).  These magazines contained a section for kids to learn about other countries.  The magazine she read again, contained Austria.  She made this delicious dessert recipe and boy was it good. 

Palatschinken - dessert of Austrians

Lunch from the Garden

We pulled 2 medium Kohlrabi, 1 red onion, 1 green pepper and 1 yellow squash.  I made the Kohlrabi and Squash Empanada recipe you'll find in over in the "New Foods Tried" portion of my blog.  I changed the recipe up a bit to accommodate what was ripe in the garden today.  It was the first time for us to taste Kohlrabi and it was delicious.  We loved it and can't wait to make more recipes with it.  Everything but the garlic and ginger, in the recipe, came from our garden (and the pie crust of course).
