It's Berry Season!

What starts off summer better than a delectable piece of sunshine? ... Pie!  

 

In June, right after the kids wereout of school, we took the whole family to our local  strawberry patch.  https://emmaleafarms.com/berries/strawberries/  The warm Spring this year meant that strawberries were early this year! We made an afternoon of picking fresh berries, dusting them off, and biting into sun warmed, juicy berries.

 Celeste, my niece rolling out pastry  crust for Fresh Strawberry Pies.  Great job  for her first time! It makes me so proud when children are able to see the results of their hard work.   This is instant gratification in a positive, edible form at it's best! The pride and sparkle in her eyes was delightful! 
Behold, the finished Fresh Strawberry Pies with custard filling, flaky crust, topped with clear gel to hold the mountain of  berries in place!  Yum!

Cooking with Mrs. Anthony

Welcome to Joyful Cooking! I am so excited to share my passion for cooking with you, specifically, with children! A little about me, I am a mom of 2 boys, aged 8 and 11.  They are full of boundless energy and antics!  My husband is a professional working full time, and I am a part-time public school teacher.  I have been trained as a Home Economics teacher and worked as a high school Culinary instructor full time until my children were born.  I choose to be part-time because I value my time with the kids as they grow.    My first memories of cooking were of my mother preparing rice dumplings in our tiny apartment kitchen.  (See this link for a famous Singaporean vendor for   Dragon Boat Rice Dumplings )  I always wondered how she was able to wrap those bundles with nimble hands without losing a morsel.  One of my most  precious memories is of my grandmother, I watched in fascination as she created noodles from ...
