Chloe's Cooking Club
Chloe has a cooking club.Every Thursday she, five friends, & their mothers take turns hosting & teaching a cooking lesson.It is so much fun & much more informative than taking summer rec. cooking.Today was our turn. We made tacos~(the whole point is to make something the girls can go home & make for their families.)The best part was that it was also Chloe's dear friend Caroline's birthday!Caroline is darling & such a great friend to Chloe.I hope they will always be friends.So for Carloine we made my favorite scratch chocolate cake recipe -it's soooo easy & tastes so much better than a mix. I wish I would've taken a better picture!
