Honoring Washington By Baking a Cherry Pie

My daughter has been spending more and more time in the kitchen. Our new Homeschool Legacy Micro-Unit Study called Cooking Up History with the Founding Presidents gave Alyssa the opportunity to bake which is one of her hobbies. She recently made a cherry pie in honor of George Washington. It was his favorite pie. We wanted to make the pie from scratch, but due to lack of time we used canned cherry pie filling and added ingredients from the recipe. It was just as good! We both love the fact this this unit study includes baking activities and we look forward to spending quality time together as we learn about the founding presidents.
