Abbygail’s Turkey

Abbygail Gingerich: Age 6

Ingredients

9lb turkey

A little salt

1Tbsp sugar

2 pieces of gravy

Directions: Put the turkey on the grill and then shut the lid. The grill needs to be about 15. That is hot! Wait for a little bit for it to get hot and then when it’s done you will see that it’s brown. Take it off and set it on the table. Add seasoning. Cut it with a knife. My mama has a big knife with a square and ovals. Look inside the turkey. My dad always says, “hey, that’s gooood!” Then you can eat it with your family.

Jake’s Vanilla Ice Cream

Jake Ledgerwood: Age 6

Ingredients

1 scoop of vanilla

2 scoops of milk

3 cups of sugar

Directions: Put all of the ingredients in a bag. Any bag you can fit them in will work. Stir it two times and then you zip the bag and put it in your freezer. You have to put it in there overnight. You can’t eat it until it melts a little bit because it is really hard. You can put it in a cone or you could just go to Meyer’s. They have ice cream there.

Brooks’ Peach Pie

Brooks Smith: Age 5

Ingredients

30 peaches

1 cup sugar

2 cups flour

Directions: Cook the peaches on the stove in water. Cook them for 10 minutes. Then make the dough. Add some salt, and then add the eggs and sugar. We need a mixer to mix dough up. Slice the peaches or if you buy them sliced, take off the skin. Throw the pits away. You could use a fork to put the peaches in the dough. Put the pie in the oven for 30 degrees for 10 minutes. Take it out of the oven and put the bottom and sides into a little thing or a big thing, then put the top on it. Cut it into 1 piece and eat it with a fork.

Autumn’s Bino Turkey

Take it home and cut it up in half and take all of the skin off. Take the feathers off. Cook the turkey for 5 minutes. Set the oven for 78 degrees. Put the salt and the syrup on when it comes out, add some sprinkles too. Put the turkey in a plastic bag. I am going to bring it to school. I’ll give the leftovers to my family.

Directions: First, we are going to shoot the deer and put it in the freezer to cool off. When you pick the deer up to put it in the grinder it will be wet. Put the deer in the grinder. The grinder makes it flat. A friend will catch the deer on the other side and then go outside and shake off the wetness. Cook the jerky in a jerky oven. Set the oven for 20 degrees. Cook the jerky for 10 minutes. Put the jerky in a big tub, then take it to school.

Isabella’s Stuffed Turkey and Gravy

Isabella Gephart: Age 6

Ingredients

1 15lb. turkey

3 shakes of seasoning

10 potatoes

A couple balloons, tied to plates

Some Fruits

Directions: Get a turkey from Walmart and some seasonings. We are going to heat the turkey up when we get home and the potatoes. The oven is 15 degrees. The turkey might taste like chicken, but that is okay. If you want a turkey leg, it’s big and some of the kids can eat it. I can’t because I have a loose tooth. Keep the turkey in the oven for 20 minutes. Let it cool off. Take the balloons, make a hole in a paper plate and tie balloons to them. Put the potatoes on the plate. Add gravy to the top because that’s extra good or you can have macaroni and cheese with ketchup on it.

Easton’s Potatoes

Ingredients

1 pinch of pepper

1 pinch of salt

2 packs of potatoes

2 packs of bacon

When it is done take them out and let them sit and let the water soak out. Then we will warm them up in the microwave. Sit and wait. After the stuff is done put on the salt and pepper. The bacon goes with the food. Don’t use bacon bites, use the big strips. When they are done cooking in the oven, it will go ding, and it’s still not hot we can put it in the microwave. Add blueberry juice to drink with this.

Aurora’s Sweet Potatoes

Get some water and put it in a measuring cup. Pour it in a bowl with the bread and cheese. Use a turning-thingy and it will make it into a big bread.

A whole carton of eggs, or 3

1 stack of butter, or 3

3 bottles of salt and pepper

Directions: First crack your eggs onto a pan and put it on the stove for 10 degrees. Let it sit on there for 2 hours. Watch it and make sure it doesn’t burn. Make sure no one else, like a baby, tries to touch the pan because they could get burned. While it is cooking, put the butter in. It will start melting into the eggs.

Let it cool down and leave the oven open for it to cool down. My mom does that sometimes. Set a metal timer and put the bread in the microwave for 10 seconds. Put the garlic, salt and star-flakes on the bread. Put water on it too to make it better. Get a cup of water to help the bread not get stuck in your throat.
