Everything went smoothly.  It was very easy and affordable to find and purchase the items for the  recipe dd chose!   She was not too happy about posing for the camera in front of ((All Those People)) in the grocery store... ....but she soon got over it because mom needs a picture and that's all there is to it! LOL  She did a good job of taking her time and shopping wisely.

When we arrived home, dd found the cooking utensils, measured the ingredients, adjusted the flame on the stove and stirred occasionally until it was done. 
I am going to post all of the recipes and a summary when she has completed her assignment. I read in one of Cindy Rushton's books about starting a recipe notebook.  This would probably be a good time to start.  Nettie is in 9th grade and this isn't the first time she has tried her hand at a meal but it is a first for planning the meals, shopping and logging about it. 

Overall, I say: {Job Well Done!}
She is excited to do it all again tomorrow.....I can get used to this!!!

We started a recipe notebook for my daughter as well. She also made a church cookbook for the ladies at our church. They submitted recipes, she put it all together and bound it. Then sold it back to them for $5. It was a great way for her to earn money for her flute.

And if your daughter is into cooking, I am giving away Supper Swapping by Susan Thacker today on my blog. She might want to enter that. My 12 year old daughter has made the Rosemary Lemon Chicken a few times. Yummy!

Thank you for the comment you left on my blog. What a great site you have here. I love this idea. This is something that DS will be learning in the not so distant future. LOL about getting her picture taken in front of all the people.

I have started letting Kaitlyn cook sometimes and all I can say is....why did I not think of this before? I have been sort of hesitant to let her plan the meals too...but now I think I may try it. Love the pictures, btw. Someday I will figure out how to get pictures on my blog correctly. :o)

My daughter and I will be completing a 2-year homemaking course starting next year. I'm looking forward to us planning meals and discussing nutrition, etc. Since I scrapbook, we are going to create a recipe book through scrapbooking. I have a book called Scrapbooking with Recipes that we'll use for ideas. It's only $5.99 at Book CloseOuts. I don't think we'll go as elaborate as they do, though. We're going to use the ideas in the book to jazz up our Family Recipe Keeper book that I bought from Marmee's Kitchen. I'll review this book sometime this summer. I'm sure I'll be taking lots of grocery store pictures, too - LOL!

BTW, thanks for visiting my blog and leaving comments - I do appreciate it!
Happy Mother's Day!
