Chocolate Chip Cookies

Please be patient as the video is not cooperating at the moment. I will post it later. below you will find the recipe.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

11/4 cups sugar

11/4 cups brown sugar

11/2 cups softened margarine

2 tsp vanilla

3eggs

41/4 cups flour

2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1-2 bags of chocolate chips. (I prefer 2 bags of milk chocolate chips)

 

Lets Get Cooking!

1. Using a mixer, cream the margarine and sugars well, until really smooth ( about 2minutes)

2. Add vanilla and eggs and mix until smooth.

3, Add 1 cup flour and the sofa and salt and the mix.

4. Add the remaining flour, one cup at a time and mix well. by the time you get to cup 4, you will need to mix by hand as this is a very heavy dough.

5. Add the chocolate chips and mix by hand.

6. Use a tablespoon to measure your cookies and drop them onto an uncreated cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart.

7. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 8-10 minutes. Remember to check at the 8 minute mark. Cookies should still be soft and starting to brown around the edges. remove from oven and onto a cookie rack to cool. You will notice that as they cool, they will flatten out some.

8. Enjoy with a nice cold glass of milk!

This recipe makes a lot of cookies, but they won't last long.

Get Cooking:

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Place prewashed and dried blueberries in the graham pie crust.
  3. Mix cream cheese and sugar with a mixer until smooth.
  4. Add sour cream and flour and mix again.
  5. Add eggs and maple syrup and mix a final time.
  6. Pour over the blueberries, making sure all the berries are covered.

  • To make sure your cheesecake is done you will insert a toothpick or cake tester into the center of the cake. When it comes out clean, the cake is done.

Cooking With Krista

If you would like to join me cooking one day this week, we are going to treat your family with the easiest ‘dump cake’ ever. What is a dump cake? You simply dump the ingredients into the cake pan and cook them. No Stirring, usually and not a lot of ingredients. The one we are going to make has only three ingredients! When the cake is ready to serve, you will want to have either ice-cream or frozen dessert topping for it.

Make sure you have the ingredients on hand before you start and then follow the video I have created or the recipe attached.

 

 

3 Ingredient Dump Cake

1 box white cake mix

1 can of Seven Up

1 bag of Frozen Fruit of choice, or two different kinds can be used.

Use a greased 9x13 pan

Making it

  1. Spread your frozen fruit in a layer on the greased pan.  If you are using two different kinds of fruit, make sure they are well mixed up. (I use frozen blueberries and peaches)
  2. Sprinkle the white cake mix evenly over all the fruit. It all needs to be covered and you need to break all the clumps of cake mix up by mashing them with a fork.
  3. This is the most important step! Very slowly, pour the can of Seven-Up over the cake mix, so that all the cake mix is wet. If you pour too quickly, the pop will fizz, and it won’t work. Slow and small amounts at a time is the only way to make sure this works.
  4. Bake in a 350- degree pre-heated oven   45- 50 minutes.
  5. Cool a bit before serving. Serve with ice cream or dessert topping. YUM!

Morning Meeting with Mrs. Page

Thank you for checking out our Morning Meeting page. Before school ended, we were discussing peer pressure and its effects on us. You will recall we were discussing the short term and long term effects of peer pressure and also identifying samples of negative peer pressure and positive peer pressure.Well, boys and girls, who knew that this Covid- 19 crisis would fit right into our morning meeting discussions in such a relevant manner?

So, before we start, let’s do a quick review.

Peer Pressure is making decisions that only affect your life based on the influence of others. These decisions may have short, or long term rewards or consequences.

This week we will discuss peer pressure and how it has affected our lives during the Covid– 19 Crisis. Below you will find 5 questions that you are encouraged to respond to, in a personal journal that you can keep at home. You may choose to do only one question for the week, or do them all. I do encourage you to write your thoughts down and when you have time, discuss them with your family. I would love to hear from you, so if you would like to email me your response to a specific question, I would be super thrilled! My email address is krista.page@nbed.nb.ca

Remember, you may respond to as many of the 5 questions as you would like.

  • What are some examples of positive peer pressure that you became aware of concerning the Covid– 19 Crisis?
  • What are some examples of negative peer pressure that your became aware of during this Covid- 19 Crisis?

  • ·        In order to stand up to negative peer pressure we need to be confident about ourselves and know that we are strong and can do what is right. List all the great things about you. That includes your talents and your personality. You should have a very long list. Now is not the time to be humble!

    ·        What have been some positive things that have happened for you during this isolation period? What have you enjoyed doing?

    ·        Getting out in the fresh air is important for our physical and emotional health. What are some things that people can do outside, that are fun and we can still maintain social distancing?

    I hope you have a terrific week and look forward to hearing from you. I miss you tons! Happy Easter to you and your Family! Be Safe!!
