A Colonist's Meal!

Elise is studying the Colonists in school now, so we thought it would be fun to cook a meal they might have eaten. So, we had a menu of Acorn Squash Soup, roasted Acorn Squash seeds, home-made butter, and cornbread.
Elise did all the cooking!Isaac and Camille helped make the butter, and we all helped eat it!

Everything was delicious! It was such a fun school project! Next we will cook something from the Revolutionary War era. We have a really great book that has recipes common to different periods of US history. What an exciting way to tie historical life into the everyday life of the kids! We love homeschooling!
