Eva’s Latest Recipe With Oreos


Photo-A-Day #3102

Allison and Eva were watching a kids cooking show today and since Eva gets inspired by the things she watches she decided to create a new recipe. So she worked on what she wanted the recipe to consist of and then worked with Allison on baking it. The recipe consists of Flour, sugar, milk and crushed Oreos. Allison played with the measurements and they baked the brownie/cookies.

Eva's Recipe

This was Eva’s hand drawn recipe. She put a lot of thought into this.

How did they taste? Well, they weren’t terrible but they do need some tweaking. Maybe an egg, some salt, scraping out the Oreo cream and putting it aside to put onto the brownie/cookies after they have been baked. Baking powder might be a good idea, too. Some vanilla and brown sugar. So basically, the Tollhouse recipe with Oreos.

I received word that there are some fun things happening with PBS Kids. From new shows and specials to apps and a redesign of the PBSKids.org site there is a lot to talk about.

On Monday October 7th a brand new show will debut. That would be PEG + CAT a very cute and funny math based show for kids. I had gotten a screener for the show and even did a fun family activity around the show. I am looking forward to this new show especially because it is math based and might help the kids become more interested in math and science.

Along with the PEG + CAT TV show there is a cool new app called the PEG +CAT Big Gig App. Designed for children ages 3 to 6, the PEG + CAT Big Gig App leverages the original music from PEG + CAT to help kids understand math concepts such as numbers, counting, patterns and more. The app includes two activities: Big Gig and Sound Check. It is available for iPad, Kindle Fire and other Android devices.

Later in the month there will be a Curious George Halloween Special. This is the first ever Curious George Halloween special called CURIOUS GEORGE: A Halloween Boo Fest and it premieres 10/28. Here is a trailer for the special.

And lastly, the digital team at PBSKids.org has been working like crazy to launch a reinvented PBSKids.org site to serve kids ages 2-8 in one place.
