Activity Ideas:
Fettuccine Alfredo
Materials:  1 pkg. Fettuccine noodles, 500 ml whipping cream, 1 cup butter, 1 cup Parmesan cheese, 2
tbsp. Parsley
Directions:  Cook noodles and drain.  Melt butter in a pot.  Add whipping cream, cheese, and parsley.  
Toss with the noodles.  Let stand for five minutes so sauce can thicken.

CINNAMON LETTERS
Materials: 1 pkg frozen bread dough rolls (whole wheat or white), 2 teaspoons flour, non-stick cooking
spray, 1 egg, 2 teaspoons water, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Also: baking sheet, 2 mixing bowls, whisk, spatula pastry brush, oven mitt, oven set to 400F
Directions: Let dough thaw on work surface. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray. Sprinkle 2
teaspoons flour on work surface. Roll each dough ball into a rope about 18 inches long. Cut the ropes
into 3 shorter ropes about 5-6 inches long. Place the shortened ropes on the backing sheet. Form
letters with the ropes created with dough. Place the baking sheet in a slightly warm place for 30 minutes
to let rise. While waiting, crack the egg, and separate. Save the yolk for another recipe. Add water to the
egg white and whisk until mixed. When the dough has risen, brush the egg white mixture on each letter
for a shine.  In another bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on the letters.  
Bake in 400F over for 15-20 minutes, till golden. Remove, and cool. Remove letters with a spatula.
Arrange letters on a serving plate or tray to spell words or to enjoy in different ways you think of. Eat and
enjoy while warm.

Cereal Balls
Materials: ½ cup peanut butter, 1/3 cup honey, ½ cup flaked coconut, 2 cups favorite cereal, raisins,
dates, banana chips, large bowls.
Directions: Put ingredients (except cereal) in large bowl and mix well. Stir in ½ cup of cereal and put rest
of cereal in another bowl. Scoop out spoonfuls of mixture and shape into balls. Roll bowls in extra cereal.
Chill in refrigerator.

Banana Split Cereal
Materials: 1 small, ripe banana, 1/2 cup fresh blueberries or other fresh fruit, 1/2 cup nonfat or low-fat
vanilla yogurt, 1/2 cup low-sugar cereal (such as Cheerios, Grape Nuts, or Bran Flakes)
Directions: Peel the banana and slice it lengthwise (from tip to tip). Wash the blueberries by placing them
in a colander and running water over them. (If you are using another fruit, wash it and cut it into small
pieces.)  Spoon the yogurt in a mound in the center of a cereal bowl.  Sprinkle the cereal on top of the
yogurt.  Arrange the banana halves on either side of the yogurt.  Sprinkle the top with the blueberries or
other fruit.

Yogurt Cheese
Materials: 1 c. Plain or favorite yogurt, strainer, large paper coffee filter, bowl larger and deeper than the
strainer, tablespoon, plastic wrap, serving plate
Directions: Line the strainer with the coffee filter. Place the strainer on top of the bowl. There should be a
space between the bottom of the bowl and the strainer. Spoon the yogurt into the coffee filter. Cover the
top of the bowl with plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight. Remove the
strainer from the bowl. Discard the liquid that has collected in the bowl. What remains in the coffee filter
is yogurt cheese. To serve, tip the cheese onto a plate. Enjoy yogurt cheese the way you would cream
cheese. Makes about 2/3 cup of cheese.

Cheese Dip
Materials: 1 12-ounce carton low-fat (1 percent) cottage cheese, 1/2 cup plain nonfat or low-fat yogurt,
