Hello, friends, and welcome to the first day of RRBC’S 2020 WC&BE SPONSORS BLOG TOUR! Each year, the wonderful members of the club donate to this event to ensure that we are able to offer our $100 Amazon Gift Card Gift Basket raffle and we want to show them just how much we appreciate their kindness and generosity.
Because my blog is the ASK THE GOOD MOMMY blog, I am honored to host a book suitable for kids – Robbie Cheadle’s “Sir Chocolate and the Condensed Milk River Story and Cookbook”.
Blurb:
The Condensed Milk River where Sir Chocolate goes fishing has stopped flowing. The water creatures are losing their homes. Can Sir Chocolate and Lady Sweet solve this problem? Five lovely new recipes are also included.

Ingredients
450 self-raising flour
1 tsp salt
100 g butter, cubed
125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped sun-dried tomatoes
100 g mature Cheddar cheese
125 g crumbled feta cheese
120 ml milk
120 ml water
1 tsp black pepper
Method
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius and grease a baking tin.
Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Add the butter and rub in using your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine crumbles. Add the cheese, pepper and sun-dried tomatoes and stir in.
Add the milk and water and mix until a soft dough forms.
Turn out onto a floured surface and roll out to 2.5 ml thick. Cut into circles using a round cookie cutter. Place on the baking sheet and brush with a little milk.
Bake for 10 – 15 minutes until the scones are golden brown. Serve warm with a little butter.

Baking is one of the most practical applications of math. I know Robbie bakes with one of her sons. My love for baking happened because I used to bake with my mom. I’m betting it will carry over to the next generation with Michael.

My friends are cooking with their small children as they grow up…so smart to give them a true “hands on” experience with food…far too many people see it as a packaged product made by someone else to just reheat and eat…

Yes, that is a problem of the new modern world. Some kids don’t even know that milk comes form a cow and have certainly never seen one. Baking with kids is terrific fun.
