Beef Dishes

Beef Tenderloin Medallions with Marsala Pan Sauce

Both of these are very yummy! I am learning about new meats and how to cook them.

Momma said she is not happy. 🙂 We (kids) have never had filet mignon until I brought this home. It was so good and Megan loved it! She kept hoping there was enough for a second taste. There was not, so now she keeps asking Momma if we can make it at home.

Pan Fried Chicken with Orange Cranberry Sauce

Doesn’t this make you hungry?

Crepes

We made crepes at school. Then I asked Daddy to teach me to make German pancakes. I like jam and whipped cream filling of the crepes, but Daddy’s pancakes better 🙂

Soups and Stew

We have been learning new soups and stews. I have liked them all except for the clam chowder! But, I tried it and brought it home for everyone else to try too. Grandpa and Grandma really liked that one 🙂

Dove Sole Meunier

I learned how to clean a fish! We took off the skin from the meat and then learned how to debone the fish. We then made fish stock and used it for a fancy named fish dish. I liked the fish, but not the gravy.

Treats

Here are some of the goodies I have made this semester.

The tree has Nutella that I made at school before Christmas. The cookies on the left are ginger and the yellow ones are lemon cookies.

My favorite was the extra Nutella that did not go into the tree. I enjoyed eating it plain. We also made truffles with it that were very good!

More Cooking Adventures

Chicken Curry
Chicken with au gratin potatoes
Shrimp Rangoon
Beef Stew

Here are some other recipes I learned to make (or learned to make better). So far, learning to make Rangoon or better-than-Mom’s stew has been my favorite.

We also learned to make some salads and good dressings. I learned I do NOT like blue cheese.

Tomorrow we are taking the “practice” servesafe test. I will be able to see how much I learned from the pre-test we took at the beginning of the year. I hope to do really well so I can take the real servesafe test soon.
