Dirt + Water = Mud Pie

I found the most adorable child's cookbook for making mud pies!
(including Mud Puddle Soup,  Wood Chip Dip, and Marigold Madness...yummm!)

My daughter and I spent many summer days creating gorgeous bakery treats out of forest materials: dirt, acorns, sticks, weeds, pine cones, etc.

Shelves to display our concoctions were made by lashing sticks unto tree trunks.  We named it, "You'll-Be-Back Bakery".      :)

If you try out some of these mud pie recipes, you'll soon notice that there IS no fighting over who gets to lick the spatula!
