It’s always amazing what our children pick up from watching us — cooking is no different. The teacher in my daughter’s daycare class decided to gather up recipes from all of her students and this is what she got.

M’sketti

By Tyler D.

Put noodles in the m’sketti with sauce and meatballs. Cook it in oven takes like 20 minutes to get cookin’ — after you’re done you pour it in a thing in the sink to let the water out, then mix it with the sauce and meatballs. Eat it with a fork and butter.

Hotdogs and Sausage

By Asha H.

Cook the sausage in the microwave. Then you cook the red hotdogs in the microwave. Then you put them in a bowl for a snack.

Pizza

By Reid M.

Put hot tings on it to make it like it’s hot. Let it cool and you eat it.

Pizza

By Ella M.

Put cheese on the pizza and put bread on it — put it in the oven for a minute — then you eat it.

Cereal

By Parker M.

Put Cheerios and milk in a bowl and cook it. Put berries in it, and some ham. Put it in a bag, put cinnamon in it, carry it to your plate, dump it out on your plate and eat it.

Mac & Cheese

By Brook M.

Put stuff inside that is very good — and put salt and pepper in it — put cheese on top of the salt and pepper — put it in the oven, and then put it in the fire and then you eat it. Make a salad with peanut butter!

Macaroni & Cheese

By Camden P.

First, cook the macaroni, after it boils with water — then you drain it and add milk and butter — then you add the sauce — then you cook it for a minutes then it will be done — eat it on a plate.

Bacon

By Aydan S.

Put it up on the oven, not in the oven, but on top of the oven and you go somewhere — and you come back and flip it over and put it right back. Cook it for a little bit short time. Flip it over again, then flip it right back over. Eat it out of the pan.

Corn on the Cob

By Braxton A.

Get it in the oven and cook it. And then you get some things to hold it, and stick them in it and that’s all.

Peanut Butter Jelly Sandwich

By Cade B.

Get 2 sandwiches and get 1 peanut butter and 1 jelly — Mix it up. Then give it to yourself — don’t give it to someone else, because they might get sick from it.

Rice and Beans

By Kitt H.

Put little seeds in a bowl. Get sugar and rice and mix it up. Put it in the oven and cook it for 10 hours. Then you eat it.

Popcorn

By Bobby L.

Put popcorn and oil in a pan, heat it for one minute on the stove. Let it pop and when it’s done popping, pour it in the bowl and then you eat it. Then when it’s time to go to bed, you just go to bed because you momma asked you to.

Pizza

By Charlotte M.

Put pepperoni on the pizza. Then you put cheese on it. Then you put it in the oven for 4 minutes or however minutes you need it — like 7 or 6 maybe. Open up the oven, take it out and everyone sits down and eats.

Crab Legs

I catch them in a cage at the ocean — and I eat their legs. Then I hang them up on my wall.

Chicken Soup
