Spinach Brownies

We learned a little about fiber and the advantage of putting spinach in our brownies to make our yummy treat a little healthier. The girls helped make the mix.
The brownies looked pretty interesting with the spinach added.
All the girls also wrote down the recipe to put in their Activity Days binder. In case they lost it or can't read it, here it is.

Table settings and Raclette Dinner

The girls learned how to set the table. They received a handout to put into their binders to help remind them how to set the table and use good manners at the table. This picture is an example of how to set a place at a table.
After the girls had their place set at the table they enjoyed a green salad and then they learned about and ate a meal called Raclette. They also received a handout about the Raclette so they can do it at home with their families. This meal uses a lot of cheese and a special grill, like the one in the picture, but can be done with a regular electric grill at your table. This meal is a very social meal since you grill your food at the table and visit while your food is cooking.
You can grill just about anything you want. The girls grilled sausage and bacon. You steam potatos and put melted cheese on them to go with the meats and veggies you have grilled.
You also eat many pickled things like onions, peppers and pickels with the meal to help break down the cheese in your stomach. Black olives and green olives are also very tasty.
The girls were excellent cooks! They worked together really well and had a great time!
