Simply Homemade #2

 

Last month I told you about my new cooking class called Simply Homemade. I had a smaller crowd this time, but we still had fun cooking and eating together. We started with Decadent Hot Cocoa. This is a dry mix that is super frugal, can be made up ahead of time, and is perfect for gift giving. Everyone made a batch of the mix to take home and we all enjoyed a cup before we got started with our feature recipes.

 

For our main dish, we made BBQ Pork Tenderloin. When it came time to serve the meat, we sliced it, placed it on small rolls, and topped it with BBQ sauce. Finally, we made Cole Slaw as our side dish. One of the ladies enjoyed the Cole Slaw enough that she plans to make it this weekend for friends. To me, that is what makes Simply Homemade a true success!

Last week I started a new cooking class series called Simply Homemade. The focus of the series is to create quick and easy recipes from scratch. Four ladies attended the class and we had so much fun laughing and talking and cooking together!

We started with basic bread baking information and jumped right in and prepared Quick Yeast Rolls. Three of the ladies had never worked with yeast or made bread of any kind, so it was a true learning experience.

The second recipe that we prepared was Chicken Caesar Salad. This is a fast weeknight meal to use up leftover chicken. One of the ladies has already reported back to me that she has made this for her family and 5 out of 6 of them loved it!

Cooking classes are a great way to spend time with friends and to learn something new. Have you ever taught a cooking class?
