I have never been a baker and I don't particularly care about sweets, I am a salty snack person. Lately, however, my non-baking world has been turned around all because of History and Bible lessons. From History, we learned about American pioneers and how they used to make butter. The curriculum included a recipe to make our own butter with just heavy whipping cream, so we gave it a try! All it took was a glass jar, fill it up to half way, then close the lid tightly and shake for 15 mins. My original plan was to have each of us take turns to shake for 5 mins, but guess who ended up shaking almost all the way....
We (or I) shook it until there's no swooshing sounds from the liquid, then viola!

Just add some salt and you have fresh whipped butter!

Then from Bible lessons, we learned about Jesus is the bread of life and the curriculum provided a bread recipe called Easy Yeast Bread. It required very few ingredients and the boys got to learn how yeast works from this. They each took turns adding the ingredients, then kneaded the dough, watched it rise in the oven, and finally did the taste test!

It's been so much fun exploring these recipes with the boys, I look forward to making more healthy baked goodies with them!
