We love to check out books from the library- one day one of the kids liked the sound of this book and added it to the many books they wanted to check out. Lo and behold, it had a cool recipe on it. I like the idea of having recipes in children's books so they learn how to cook and bake.
Something that is long lost sometimes in the school system and hard to do with little time we have today- which is teaching kids baking and cooking. So thank you Elisa Kleven for your book, "Sun Bread".
My son loves to read and this was perfect for him. This is him reading an excerpt out of the book- don't mind the baby in the back round talking on the phone :) If you can not view here, here to see it on You Tube :)
Ingredients:
3 eggs
3 tbsp sugar
