As an introduction to our explanatory writing, I had the students create their very own recipe, list the ingredients, and tell me how to made their dish.
There were quite a few INTERESTING combinations of foods! Some honorable mentions were the Dough Roll by Samantha which called for a mixture of scrambled eggs, cheese, salmon, crab, chicken, and rice. All of this delicious concoction must be rolled in pizza dough with a sheet of seaweed, drizzled with soy sauce!
Nissim of course knows my love for Mexican food, so his recipe included corn with mayo, Hot Cheetos, Lays, and BBQ Lays...then he tempted me with Tajin and Chamoy!
However, the clear winner was Kimberly's Teacup Dessert Surprise!
I gathered all of the ingredients...
...and preheated my oven to 350 as directed.
...used just 2 eggs in stead of 3.
The dough formed nicely!
I didn't use the 7 toothpicks. I knew what Kimberly was trying to do, and had seen someone using the back of a muffin pan to do a similar thing. Be sure to grease the back of the pan so the "teacup" dough comes off easily.
Voila! Perfect teacup dough!
The SURPRISE part of the recipe are the Dorito chips and the Cheeto Puffs!!
You can just crush them in a bag.
Watch how I put everything together:
Here is the video of Mrs. Johnston eating Kimberly's creation with a little ASMR action...listen to the crunch :)
Great job, everyone!! I hope this inspires you to be creative in the kitchen and try new foods!
Who knew writing could be SO MUCH FUN and SO delicious! Just wait until we do our "How to Build an Ice Cream Sundae" writing!!
