How The Boys Cooking Club Started

In 2010, a 10 year old boy had a great idea to share a passion of cooking with his friends. He wanted to start a club where they could learn about food, cooking and have a fun time together. He invited his friends and they started meeting once a week at his house.
They have learned many things about food (nutrition, different ways to cook eggs, etc..), had some contests (Junior Iron Chef, making meals at home), and had some fun adventures, (like cooking over a campfire and in a dutch oven).

In March 2012 it will be two years since this club was started, and they are still going strong!!

Bon Apetit, Junior Chefs!

Omelets in a Bag

We have started a course of doing some camping menus.  These are dishes/meals that the boys can cook outdoors on fires or camp stoves with a minimum of prep or that they can prep before hand at home.

Layton and Chance have a disagreement over how to use a knife.
Chance won...

..briefly.


This week we made:

Omelets in a Bag

Ingredients:
2 eggs
sausage, ham or bacon to your liking
cheese to your liking
chopped onions, mushrooms, green peppers to your liking
salt and pepper to taste
salsa or ketchup (you can put it in before or after cooking)

Equipment
 plastic zip lock bags (we used sandwich bags, but the heavier, freezer bags would be best)
 pot of boiling water
pair of tongs to remove bags from hot water

Instructions
Break eggs into zip lock bag.  mix by squishing with your hands.
Put all ingredients into the zip lock bag, close the bag and mix together.  (This can all be done before you leave for your campout if you will be eating the next morning and keeping it in a cooler.)
 Put bag in a pot of boiling water until eggs are done-- about 8 minutes.
 Open the bag and eat-- no plate needed.

You may want to double bag your omelet,and keep bag from touching the side of the pot.
