Each day of GROW Camp starts with a faith talk that relates the day's topic to faith. So on the Cooking Day, I started by asking the kids what some of their favorite foods are and what food does for us. I related our discussion to John 6, where Jesus tells us that he is the bread of life. Just like the food we eat nourishes our bodies, our relationship with Jesus nourishes us and strengthens us in important ways each day as well.
Then we got cooking, and these recipes were such a hit with the kids that I decided to pass them along.
