These go back to before Ty became a blonde. This summer we've been working on making breakfast. I taught the kids to make an over easy egg (but they still have trouble flipping it), and Rick worked with them on making omelets.

| Well, it taste good no matter what it looks like. |

| Jasmine and Kayla have asked to cook a lot this summer, but the timing doesn't always work out. But Kayla did make these pita sandwiches one day. |
 |

1 large onion sliced
1-2 pkg frozen beef sandwich steaks
1 can cheddar cheese soup
8 pita pockets
Heat oil in skillet. Heat onions until tender. Drain and set aside. Break steaks into small pieces and cook until browned. Pour off fat. Add cheese and onions and heat through. Spoon into pita pockets.

| Jasmine made crispy cheddar chicken. |
 |
| Crispy Cheddar Chicken 2 lbs chicken tenders or 4 large chicken breasts 2 sleeves Ritz crackers 1/4 teaspoons salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper 1/2 cup whole milk 3 cups cheddar cheese, grated Sauce: 1 10 ounce can cream of chicken soup 2 tablespoon sour cream 2 tablespoon butter Crush crackers. If using chicken breasts and not tenders, cut each chicken breast into 3 large pieces. Pour the milk, cheese and cracker crumbs into 3 separate bowls. Toss the salt and pepper into the cracker crumbs and stir the mixture around to combine. Dip each piece of chicken into the milk and then the cheese. Press the cheese into the chicken with your fingers. Then press the cheesy coated chicken into the cracker crumbs. Spray a 9×13 pan with cooking spray and place the chicken in the pan. Cover the pan with tin foil and bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes. Remove the tin foil, bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the edges of the chicken are golden brown and crispy. In a medium sized saucepan combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream and butter with a whisk. Stir it over medium high heat until hot. Serve over the chicken. |

| Jessica made chicken Caesar wraps. There was no real recipe. Just get Tyson or another brand precooked chicken strips and heat them up. |
 |
| Put on a soft flour tortilla and add lettuce, cheese and Caesar dressing. You could add other vegetables too. |
 |
| At Jasmine's request, Jessica make homemade strawberry shakes again. |
 |
Strawberry
Shake
½ lb strawberries sliced
2 Tbs sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pint vanilla ice cream
½ c milk
1 Tbs strawberry syrup
Combine sliced strawberries, sugar and
vanilla in
bowl. Let set for 20 minutes.
Pour all ingredients into blender and blend.
I don't have pictures of the other times Jasmine helped cook (or can't locate them at least), so this is it for now.

I think its great you teach your kids to cook. My mother never taught us to cook and we couldn't even try ourselves growing up except for eggs. I made sure both my son and daughters could. (my dad wasn't good in the kitchen either)
Erika
Mine at least know how to read a recipe.
