I have included one of my favorite books to get us started!

One of my favorite books when I was little was Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parrish. Amelia Bedelia is a maid who gets very mixed up at times! Her bosses get very mad at her, but she always fixes things with the wonderful treats she bakes! The treat I remember most from reading her stories is lemon meringue pie. I attached a recipe for this pie in case you want to share my Amelia Bedelia experience! -Miss Alli

Lemon Meringue Pie 1 1/2 c. sugar 1/3 c. cornstarch 1 1/2 c. boiling water 3 egg yolks, beaten 3 tbsp. butter 1/4 c. lemon juice 1 tsp. grated lemon peel 1 baked 9 inch pie crust Meringue

Mix sugar and cornstarch in 1 quart glass casserole. Stir in water. Cook in microwave oven 2 1/2 minutes. Stir. Cook 1 minute longer until thick. Stir after 30 seconds. Beat small amount of hot mixture into egg yolks; return to mixture in casserole. Cook 30 seconds. Blend butter, lemon juice, and lemon peel into filling. Cool slightly. Pour into pie shell. Cover with meringue and bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.

Allie I love that you shared the recipe from your favorite book, not only do I love lemon meringue pie; but my children love to help cook! We will try this out tomorrow for a family activity. I want to share one of my favorite books, Hop on Pop by Dr. Seuss. If my children and I could spend a day with Dr. Seuss we would go on wild adventures and be dressed in something very creative and bright. ~ Sidney Webb

Alli, I would love to make this with you because you know I cant cook, and you can! So lets get together yeah yeah yeah! My favorite book is Where the wild things are, this book is great because it encourages children's imagination and creativity! - Ashley
