Blessing Snack Mix

I made this for the little munchkins to munch on while we complete most of Wolf Achievement 7 (Your Living World) at this week's den meeting.

The recipe is in the 2009-2010 PowWow book pg. 207.

Blessing Mix

Bugles brand corn snacks
-shaped as a cornucopia, a horn of plenty.

pretzel knots
-represent arms folded in thanks and prayer

candy corn
-during the first winter the pilgrims only had a few kernels of corn to eat each day because food was so scarce.

dried fruit (I used Craisins)
-Thanksgiving is the celebration of the harvest

sunflower seeds
-seeds represent the potential of a bounteous harvest for the next season if they are planted and well tended.

I also added a few fallish M&M's. Who's not thankful for chocolate? I know I am!

Ice Cream in a Bag

This ice cream is yummy, fun, and only takes 5 minutes to make!

Ice Cream in a Bag
Ingredients:
1 T sugar
1/2 C milk of half and half (I used whole milk)
1/4 t. vanilla
1/2 C rock salt (I used extra course water softener salt)

Pour milk, sugar, and vanilla into a pint freezer bag (Ziploc makes them)
Fill a gallon freezer bag half full of ice and sprinkle the rock salt over it. Put the pint bag inside the gallon one and shake for about five minutes until the milk hardens into ice cream(wear snow gloves so your hands don't freeze).

Remove the pint bag from the gallon one and eat it right from the bag (with a spoon of course).

#2 Use the scientific method in a simple science project. Explain the results to an adult.
(We will do several experiments in den meeting).

#3 Visit a museum, laboratory, observatory, zoo, aquarium, or other facility that employs scientists. Talk to a scientist about his or her work.
