He thought a cook book of his own sounded like a great idea. We talked about all the ingredients and how to whip it all up, and like magic it turned into whipped cream.
So last week we finally made him a book. He picked out the paper and we glued it all on.
Then he set right to work writing his very first recipe from memory. I thought he did a great job. So good that I thought I would share it for What to eat Wednesday.
Follow the directions below. Do not leave out step #5- I think that it is the most important of the whole recipe.
Here is the original recipe from my mother in law- I think it tastes best on one of her pies. She is THE PIEMAKER! (and hooray, I get to have one this Thanksgiving!)
Whipped Cream
1/2 pint heavy whipping cream
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Freeze deep bowl & beaters. (don't have to, makes it go faster) the
deeper the bowl the better-more deep than wide.
Beat on high until almost thick- soft peaks. Add sugar & vanilla, mix
just enough to hold shape, don't overbeat, or it will be hard to spread,
flat, and not pretty.

Alisa-
That is the sweetest thing ever. Luke always makes me smile. Actually, all your kids do. What a cool memory. I will always think of Luke on step 5 when I make whipped topping.

this is the cutest thing ever. POOF!
How cute is Luke??? I have never chilled my bowl or beaters... great idea.
This is so cute. That recipe book will be a cherished possession.
Carolyns pie? THANKSGIVING???
My mouth is watering knowing that Carolyn is coming. How many pies do you think we could freeze before she has to go back? I wish we could keep her for 2 weeks...one for you and one for me. We would have so much fun. I love that we have her to look forward to.
"Poof" I need a little more of that in my cooking. Obviously that is what I have been leaving out. See, I bet my g'mother and mother know about the "poof" and didn't share that with me. No wonder their recipes don't turn out the same when I make them. From now on, more "poof".
