2nd Annual Christmas Cooking Competition...

On December 29 we held the 2nd Annual Christmas Cooking Competition at our group homes. The kids loved it! A few days before, they were allowed to make a dinner plan with their educators and the cook at the houses. They made a budget, ingredient list and decided what three items they would prepare.




The rules were that the children in each home had to cook everything themselves... they had to make a salad, main dish and dessert and it had to be ready to serve at 7 PM on the 29th. Each house did a fabulous job and were very excited as we all gathered together to enjoy their creations!


The kids were all proud of their meals and the adults took turns observing and tasting as judges; then it was time for all to join in and enjoy this wonderful meal together. As the adults tallied their votes, the kids put on music and danced the night away. After a very close competition, Casa Rebeca won by ONE point!


This is always a fun activity and a great learning experience for the kids in working together and building important life skills for later!
