I had a blast cooking with about 150 people from across the country this morning! š± My first time leading a virtual cooking class! āIn the Kitchen with The Amateur Apronā was a session for the National 4-H Volunteer Conference! 4-H has played a major role in my life, and my husbandās life, and when I was approached by a blog reader to do this segment I knew I wanted to do it! Thanks to Darrell for being my āsous chefā / assistant / camera guy / picture-taking blogger husband. It has been so sweet to watch photos roll in from participants and just to actually cook alongside so many awesome 4-H people all across the country! We baked spoonbread, which is a dish native to my hometown!
