As part of his new workbook, Master W, 8, had to plan and prepare a meal for the family. He choose to find a meal and dessert from The Complete Children's Cookbook (link and review below). He choose to make homemade fish sticks with some vegetables and fruit on the side and a jellyroll for dessert.
He made the jellyroll first.
Preparing the pan.
Adding oil and parchment paper.
Mixing the wet ingredients in the Kitchen Aid. This was his first time cracking eggs. I showed him how and then he did the rest on his own. He did a wonderful job!
Mixing the dry ingredients.
Combining the two together.
Spreading the batter on the pan. He doubled the recipe so that we could have leftovers for breakfast. It was a great opportunity to work on adding fractions in a real life setting.

The completed roll.
Making the fish. I didn't get any pictures of him making the batter. This recipe was hands down the best fish batter I have ever had. We all ate like little piggies because it was so good!
The Complete Children's Cookbook review:
Most children's cookbooks have very simple recipes without much variety. This is not one of those cookbooks. It has over 150 different recipes with varying degrees of difficulty. Not only is it a good cookbook for children but a good one for beginners of any age. And did I mention the recipes that we have tried tasted AMAZING? I give this cookbook 📕📕📕📕📕 out of five.
Good news! It is on sale today (12/12/16):
