Peach and Brie Cheese, mmmmm!

Published by

So you’ve got people coming over this evening and you have just realized that you don’t have the time to make an appetizer. Not to worry! The peach and brie puff pastry is the easiest and quickest appetizer you can make, plus it happens to be delicious. It also only has 4 ingredients, so you really can’t beat that! Ingredients: 2 peaches 1 round of brie cheese 1 sheet of puff pastry 1 egg – beaten Directions: 1) Cut the peaches into slices 2) Roll out a phyllo sheet so that it is big enough to wrap your brie cheese. Cut the brie cheese in half and place the bottom half of the round in the middle of the puff pastry. 3). Place your cut peach slices on top of one half, place other half of brie cheese on top of the cut peach slices and then add more peach slices on top. Option: drizzle honey on top of your peach slices. 4) Wrap up the “goodness” in the puff pastry and twist the excess …

Sunshine, Cottaging and Canning!

For those of you that are wondering where I have disappeared to, wonder no more I took the month of August off and enjoyed every single second of it however, I am excited to be back at Seasons and running our Fall term. However, since I’m not very good at sitting still, I kept myself very busy at the cottage. I made a whole bunch of friendship bracelets (yes that’s right I’m bringing the 90s back). I also got into canning and figured since Fall is around the corner this is the perfect time. We had this fabulous antique oven/stove up at the at cottage which wasn’t all that great for baking but just perfect for pickling. Here’s a great recipe for Bread and Butter Pickles, easy and delicious!    Bread and Butter Pickles Ingredients 5 1/2 cups (1 1/2 pounds) thinly sliced pickling cucumbers 1 1/2 Tablespoons kosher salt 1 cup thinly sliced sweet onion 1 cup granulated white sugar 1 cup white vinegar 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup light brown sugar …

Homemade PlayDough!

Published by

Here at Seasons, we use a LOT of Playdough and it can be pretty pricey to be continually buying it. So we learned how to make Playdough in our kitchen and want to share this easy recipe with you! Ingredients 2 cups of flour 2 cups of water 2 tbsp of oil 2 tsp cream of tartar 1/2 cup of salt food colouring Combine all the ingredients in a pan over low heat and stir constantly until ball forms. Let the dough cool down before adding the food colouring. Once it has cooled, you can push your thumb into the dough and simply put a few drops of food colouring into the hole. Kneed the dough until you obtain your desired colour and presto, perfectly made Playdough! Plus, no harm to the tummies of those little ones who occasionally sneak bites of Playdough!

The York School

Published by

Today we had a field trip with the York School and it was a great success! The children were learning about the digestion system, so they made art projects based on our digestive systems. In the kitchen we learned how to make hummus and protein bars from scratch. In the Seasons Studio the children learned about the importance of our “core” and participated in exercises that utilized their core strength.
