In my many years of teaching 5-year-olds, I have discovered that you can never tell what will come next out of their little mouths. As a Christmas gift to parents, we published a book of their recipes. What an experience. These recipes are written exactly as dictated to me. I believe each recipe will bring a smile to your face as you read the wonderful directions! So sit back, relax and get ready to smile as from the "mouths of babes" we all shall learn!
LOGAN'S DELICIOUS RICE
My brother doesn't know how to cook because he will burn his ears. You take salt and put it in the rice. You stir and bake until 6:00 at 7 degrees. Then stir it and start to take it out.
KATHERINE'S TEMPER PIZZA
You put in the stove and you cook it. I don't know the temper but I know how long it cooks. It cooks 4 hours! You take it out of the oven and you put it on a plate and eat it.
WILL'S OVERLY-DONE HAM
You cook it on a dish. Put in oven. Cook it 5 days. Then put it on a plate.
MARSHALL'S CRUNCHY PIZZA
You take it out of the freezer. You put it in the oven. You cook it about 15 hours at temperature as hot as hot water. Then you take it out of the oven and eat it.
GREYSON'S GRILLED STEAK
You put it on a grill and you cook it. Then you put sauce on it. You cook it a pretty long time; I think about 3 minutes.
CHANCE'S WHITE POWDER BISCUITS
You take white powder and take milk and pour it in there. Mom takes her rings off so she won't get them dirty. Then she flats them; hits 'em down. Takes another one and squishes it down again. She puts them in the oven and cooks them 4 hours very hot.
COREY'S DELICIOUS "BASAGNE"
Well, you put some of the white stuff and some sauce on it. Then you cook spaghetti and make it flat. Then you cook it and viola! Basagne!
KAITLYN'S FRESH-WATER FISH
Get a pan and put water in it. Put fish in it and stir it up and then you flip it. Put it in a plate and eat it.
BRAD'S CRUSTY FRIED CHICKEN
Well, sometimes you go the Hardee's and the Hardee's man will cook your fried chicken. But my Mom cooks fried chicken in a pan. You put it on the stove. It has a lot of chicken on the inside and lots of crust on the outside. When I was four, I threw the meat away and ate the crust. Now I'm five and I eat the meat.
CAROLINE'S JUST-PERFECT-WITH-CHICKEN CORN
First you pour it in the bowl and then it goes down the bowl. First you boil it, then you put it in the sink and let it get water. Wait a minute! Everytime my Mama cooks corn, my Daddy cooks chicken on the grill. I don't know what that red button is for (the one on the grill), but I know what the black one is for.
HILARY'S WELL-DONE CAKE
You make a round circle. Then you cook it 10 hours, I think, on the stove in the round thing (kind of made out of a pan). After you cook it, you let it cool a little bit (about 10 hours). Then you can put icing on it and if you want to, you can buy some little candy to put on your cake.
SKYLAR'S BLACKENED HAM
Cook it on the stove until it's black. Cook it in a kettle pot.
KELSEY'S HAMBURGER BALL
You get it out of the refrigerator. Then you ball it. Then you spread it out. Then you cook it on the stove in a pan. You cook it 2 hours at a little warm temperature. Then you eat it.
KATHLEEN'S APPLE PIE
You take little bits of apple. Then you spread cinnamon all around them.
Then you cook them. Then you spread the dough all over the top and put it in the
oven and bake it for 15 minutes.
NICOLE'S "WATCH-IT" ROAST
Put the roast (that big kind) in the oven in these square bowls.
You watch it cooking. If you're not watching it, it starts on fire.
You cook it 12 minutes at about 31 degrees.
NATHAN'S GIANT SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS
You take big meatballs and take our giant spaghetti (t-h-i-s b-i-g)
and I take some spaghetti and pour the meatballs in. You put it on top
of the stove. It takes 100 minutes at a very hot temperature. Then you
put it in a plate. Then Mom calls you to eat it.
R.J.'S "ORANGE SUGAR" PUMPKIN PIE
You take some orange sugar and you cook it. After it is done, you get
a fork and put holes around it. Put it in the oven for 20 minutes.
