Cooking Club- Pumpkin energy balls and banana ghosts

We had our first cooking club today and it was terrific!  Thank you Mrs. Wheaton and Mrs. Cistone for leading it!  We got to mix together oats, peanut butter, chia seeds, honey, dark chocolate chips, and pumpkin to make a yummy concoction.  Then the fun began as we got to mix it with our hands and roll it into balls. We learned about measuring 1 cup, 1/2 cup, and 1/4 cup.  We learned why chia seeds are healthy for us.  We learned how not to spread germs when we are cooking.  And as one kiddo said...we learned patience!  When we were done making the balls, we then got to make banana ghosts.  Of course I wanted to eat them all!  What a fun morning!
