Happy Thanksgiving & Playdough

Monday, November 21, 2011 | Publish by MizWasy

This year, I'm thankful for many things.
In my opinion, the Top 5 (in reverse) would be

  • For you - the ones who read this blog
  • For my family and good friends
  • For our military persons - who fight so that we can enjoy the freedoms we have
  • For my husband, Rick - because I'd be lost without him
  • and lastly, but most importantly, I'm thankful to the Lord, because of His many blessings.
Wishing you all a blessed and wonderful thanksgiving.

Playdough
Thanksgiving is in two days!  Oh my! - the kids will be out of school and you need something to keep them occupied!  OK, relax!  How about some playdough?  No! Not that icky, smelly stuff you buy at the store, either.  Homemade play-dough - so you know exactly what went into it - and it's non-toxic if they accidentally eat it.  Well . . . you know kids - they eat anything that isn't locked down  OR  they stick it up their nose.  Speaking of that, I was 3 or 4 years old when I stuck a corn kernel up my nose.  So . . . I might actually know a little of what I'm talking about here.

From Playdough Recipe comes a variety of play-dough recipes to meet the needs of your busy crew.  Here are a couple of my favorites.

Pumpkin Pie Playdough

How perfect is this for Thankgiving!  Get ready for a great smelling playdough recipe! This is an adaption of the traditional recipe.

Ingredients:
5 1/2 cups of flour
8 teaspoons cream of tartar
3/4 cup of oil
4 cups of water
1 1/2 ounces of canned pumpkin pie spice
2 cups of salt
food coloring (preferably orange)

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together in a heavy bottomed sauce pan and cook over medium heat. Heat until the playdough is doughy.

Edible Playdough

This is a kids favorite kind of playdough, and can you blame them? After you’re done making monsters, trees and pets - they can just be free to eat it all up. These recipes are 100% edible and can be eaten immediately.

Ingredients:
3 teaspoons of Cream of Tartar
1 cup of flour
1 cup of water
1 package of Kool-Aid Mix (any flavor of unsweetened)
1 tablespoon of cooking oil
1/2 cup of salt

Directions:
Mix dry ingredients in a large/medium pan. Add water and oil. Stir over medium heat until it looks like dough. Whatever the color of koolaid used should be the end result color. This takes about 8 minutes.

Key Words easy, kids, playdough

About the blog . . .

Here you will find recipes from three generations of home cooks. You'll also find a few tips, tricks and shortcuts along the way to make your cooking easier. This is why my husband calls me "Shortcut Sally." There are times when slaving over a meal is warranted and times when it won't affect the final result if you don't. The trick is for you to know the difference and that your guests don't have a clue.
