I have been, or can be if you click on a link and make a purchase, compensated via a cash payment, gift, or something else of value for writing this post. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
Earlier in the month, we received a phone call from the rep who sold us the Bosch mixer and Nutrimill. She was getting trained to do a class on making 10 meals from 10 pounds of hamburger meat and wanted to know if we were interested in attending. As we had a blast with the baking lesson, we decided it would be fun to do. Plus, it gave us a chance to pick up the grain we needed for bread baking.
With the owner of Wholy Living there, I was able to go through all the bread dough making steps with 2 ladies to oversee what I was doing. The bread we made for the class yesterday came out just fine with their guidance. I’ve added more to my original notes and hope to have better success at home now.
So that the boys wouldn’t get bored AND could get some hands on learning, they were given different tasks to complete.
First R then D helped shred cheese using the Bosch……
They worked together to dice garlic cloves….
Then D helped make a stromboli we later ate for dinner….
The unrolled stromboli (forgot to take a picture of the rolled up product!)
I took a little video of D learning to use the alligator dicers for both onions and garlic. The smaller one is going on my wishlist seeing how easy it is compared to the garlic press I currently have!
This time, P helped mostly with baby care so I could be more hands on….
And for a while, J was entertained with a plastic lid on the floor.
In case you are wondering, here’s the list of dishes we made:
hamburgers
meatloaf
cheesy chili mac
sloppy joes
stromboli
garbanzo bean soup
spanish rice (can use for stuffed peppers)
quiche
Along with the stromboli, our family came home with a meatloaf ready for the freezer plus recipes for all the dishes. Since we were learning over the lunch hour, the cheesy chili mac got eaten by all on site along with some of the rolls made from the bread dough.

Thanks so much for answering. I'll head over and give the recipe a try. We're always looking for new ways to use the overabundance of ground beef that I get from the grocery store.
Christi ~ it was from the bread dough (whole wheat) that we made up. We got 2 stromboli's plus a bunch of hamburger buns (that ended up melding together into one mass) and 4 'soup bowls' from the one recipe. http://www.everythingkitchens.com/recipes.html is one location for the recipe (which can also be made by hand!)
This looks like a lot of fun. We use ground beef a bunch, mostly because it's marked down at our grocery store most mornings. I can stock up! My kids make our lunch most days and the stromboli looks like something they would love. Did you use a homemade crust? Was it a good, filling lunch?

Looks like everyone had a great time!Nothing better than food and fellowship. You got a bonus also because you were learning along the way!
