Cowboy style snacks...

As we wrap up week one of Cowboy week, we decided to eat some snacks cowboy style. We made popcorn over the campfire (aka the stove). Each kiddo had a job such as adding oil (such extra virgin olive oil to make it better for us and 1 point for me), adding chili powder, and adding popcorn. As the kernels started popping we discussed the looks, size and color. Then we compared it to the popcorn and its look, size, and color. Kadyn replied, "mom, you are way cool".

The older kids made some great observations while were were cooking!

Cowgirl Mia didn't get any popcorn!


To finish off our snack we spiced up some beef jerky! We used store bought jerky (kids thought I made it and I did not correct them) and some spices to it and warmed it back up in the oven. The kids thought it was neat that they were eating the way cowboys might have...
Jerky time!
