Twinkie Sushi Dessert

Antilope — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:45:12 GMT

I don't know were I found this recipe, but I was looking in the Recipe Folder of my

computer the other day and found this. I must have downloaded it some time ago.

This sounds like something Moms and Kids would have fun making together.

�

Twinkie Sushi Dessert

4 pieces green fruit leather, sliced into 1-inch-wide strips

6 Twinkies, cut into 1-inch pieces

Assorted dried fruits, cut into small pieces

Assorted chewy fruity candies

4 to 6 pieces of dried mango, cut into strips

One at a time, wrap the fruit-leather pieces around the Twinkie pieces.�

Place the wrapped Twinkie pieces upright on a serving tray or in a bento box.

Place the dried fruits and candies into the creme filling.�

Garnish the tray with strips of dried mango to resemble pickled ginger.�

Serve with chopsticks, if you wish.

I'm really excited with its contents & look forward to the book being in others' hands.� You can purchase the book through several avenues.� I'm providing the links to make it easy for you.� It is also available in mainline bookstores.� If they do not have the book on the shelf,�visit the resource desk.� They will be able to order Covered In Chocolate by Lizzie Lou for you.�

The book is geared for children, ages 5 - 13.� Chocolate is the superstar ingredient, and it oozes through every�page.� The first portion of Covered In Chocolate is a collection of child-centered recipes.� Crazy fun facts about the ingredients and relationship driven messages from�the�3 characters are included in each recipe.� The second portion of the book allows you to peek inside a chocolate factory and see how chocolate is made. The last portion of this book is a collection of "hands on" ideas that parents and educators can use to whet appetites for continued learning across the curriculum, all�involving chocolate...of course!��

�

The book would make an excellent Christmas stocking stuffer for those kiddos that you love so much.�

cooking/baking with grandchildren

granna2 — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 16:22:59 GMT

I have a soon to be 4 yr.old granddaughter named judy. She is just starting to want to cook. It is so much fun for me/us, I had boys and they didn't want to cook. We have made cupcakes,tuna salad, almond crunch,rice crispy treats. We made a batch of rice crispy treats, and put a small amount into a heart shaped pan, She patted it in, for my 84 yr' old Mother, which was delighted to learn that Judy had made that for her Grannie.�then the rest in a dish. After dinner, I went to the store and when I came home Judy and her Grandpa had eaten almost all of the rice crispies,:-).
