Not an active blog anymore, but still has a lot of good Family and Consumer Sciences Recipes

Hello. In fall of 2021, my school district asked me to no longer post pictures on this blog, which pretty much ended the point of this student-run blog. However, I still have many of my classroom recipes on here. They are all designed to be done in 45 or 120 minute classes depending on the recipe. In 2024, I left Gunnison Middle School and in 2025, took a new position at the Gunnison Watershed School District Pathways Center. The Pathways Center is our Career and Technical Education campus. I can still be reached at bhubbard@gunnisonschools.net if anyone is trying to find me. 

Take good care everyone, 

Mrs. Hubbard

Covid Quarantine!

We had a Covid positive in my family last week and the kids and I were put on Quarantine and we have 10 days we can't be at work or school.  My husband can go to work because he had Covid in the last 90 days, so lucky him I guess. ;)  I am teaching from home and there is a Sub Teacher in my room to be the Adult in Charge and give F2F support. Modern Teaching is Really Something! 

Apple Pie!

 Putting our Conner Orchard apples to use again. Yum! 

Caramel Apples

 Today, we made fresh caramel, and spread it over the top of fresh sliced apples from Connor Orchards. It was delicious! Just remember to not let your sugar burn, or else you have burnt caramel instead of sweet yummy delicious caramel! Sadly, we didn’t get a photo of the finished product! But it was sure yummy in our tummies! Thank you Laurie, Ed, & Wyatt Conner for all the goodness your provide to the Western Slope!!!

Peach Pavlova

Peach Pavlova

The dish we made was Peach Pavlova, it comes from Australia.
The leader was Charlie Murgatroyd. My thoughts throughout the process
of making Peach Pavlova was: time consuming because it had to sit in the
oven for 24 hours, we had to beat the egg whites, add sugar, and beat them till
the sugar dissolves in the egg whites, fun because the eggs turned all fluffy and
white and when we added the sugar we had to taste it.

We put the egg mixture on parchment

paper

The egg mixture cooked for 24 hours

Charlie made raspberry sauce

Zia made the whip cream

 Porter cut the peaches

We put the whip cream on the Pavlova

Peach Pavlova

The dish we made was Australian Pavlova. I, Charlie was the leader
and I chose this recipe because it is my favorite dessert in the world.
The process was great because the Pavlova tasted just like a normal
one. A week before my family went down to the Palisades in Grand
Junction to have a lobster night with some friends. The Palisades are
big on peaches so my dad made a peach Pavlova with a raspberry sauce.
The only thing that was missing was passion fruit. In Australia, we
grow passion fruit and always put them in our Pavlovas. Otherwise
we used my family's recipe and it turned out great.

Chicken Wings from America

Chicken Wings

One day of our international cooking we made chicken wings and our leader to making those
was Damyon. The chicken wings are from north america because Damyon is from america.
The recipe was fairly easy. We also made our own barbecue sauce, the process of making the
sauce was way easier than I thought it would be. The barbecue sauce was a little thinner than
we thought it would be but it was still super delicious. We made the sauce while the wings were
in the oven. Before we stuck the chicken wings into the oven we made a dry rub and put it onto
the chicken wings. An interesting thing that I noticed is that the barbecue sauce used tomato
paste and I never knew that. We took the wings out of the oven after they were cooked about half
way and put the homemade barbecue sauce onto them and stuck them back into the oven for the
rest of the time they needed to be cooked. Putting barbecue sauce midway through them cooking
really enhanced the flavor because it allowed the barbecue sauce to really get into the chicken wings.
Overall the chicken wings were very good and I would definitely make them again.
