Dinners by Maddie

Maddie has only been in Young Women's a few months, but she wanted to finish the Good Works value by the night of Young Women in Excellence.  For her project, she decided to help me cook dinner for a week.  She had to put in at least 10 hours and she did quite a bit more than that

 Broccoli and cheese twice baked potatoes.  Everyone in our family LOVED these and it was probably the healthiest meal she made.  The centers of the twice baked potato had ground cauliflower mixed in with the potatoes and no one even knew!

 Cornbread Tacos - This is a recipe Maddie found on pinterest.

 We used a cornbread mix and cooked it on the waffle iron for the bottom of the tacos.  When I was trying to cook the cornbread waffles, they were sticking bad.  Maddie did a much better job of cooking them then I did.  She figured out they needed to cook longer.

 Personal Pan Pizzas - They weren't quite small enough to be individual pizzas, but they were on the small side.

Mozzarella Sticks - We had spaghetti sauce out to dip them in!

This was an amazing project for Maddie to do.  It helped her to learn some more cooking skills, but the greatest thing about it was that she learned how much work it is to cook dinner.  She also realized that when you've gone to the work to cook dinner, it isn't fun when the other members of the family are complaining about it. 

Maddie presented her project at Young Women in Excellence and she did a really great job!!
