Apple Jelly

We learned all about the letter J this past week... So we made apple jelly! It only has 3 ingredients too, and it's allergy friendly too! :) My son loved helping me too!

Here's what you need:

10 apples
1 cup water
1 cup sugar

What to do:

1. First, peel and chop up the apples.

2. Put them in the a large saucepan with 1 cup of water, and bring to a boil.

3. Once boiling, turn down to medium heat, and simmer for 20 minutes.

4. Then, mash up the apples with a potato masher.

5. Pour the mixture into a blender, and blend until smooth.

6. Put the mixture back into the saucepan, and cook over medium heat for about 1 hour while occasionally stirring.

7. Cool and enjoy! :)

Thanksgiving Feast

Well, this activity was just awesome! :) We had a Thanksgiving feast. At first, I was turned off to this idea, but I came around.. I found some good Thanksgiving stories, we made pilgrim and Indian hats, and I made a Thanksgiving feast for the boys! So much fun! :) I am surprised that they kept the hats on too. Lol.

Dr. Seuss Cookies

My son is turning 2 years old on December 11th!!! Crazy!!! Time is just flying by... Harry is having a Dr. Seuss birthday party, so I made some cool cookies for it.

Here's what you need:

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 stick of salted butter

1 banana

1 egg

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon baking soda

Food coloring

What to do:

1. First, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside. 

2. In a separate bowl, mix with a mixer the butter, banana, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.

3. Combine both bowls together. 

4. Separate the dough into 4 balls. 

5. Add red, blue, yellow, and green to a separate ball of dough and mix separately with a mixer. 

6. Freeze the dough for about 30 minutes.

7. After the 30 minutes, take the dough out, and flatten it.

Note: You might need some flour if the dough is sticky.

8. Place each color on top of each other. 

9. Roll the dough into a cylinder, and preheat oven to 350F degrees.
