Directions
-Add water to the crust, let it rise and spread half of the dough on bottom of a pie pan

-Sprinkle some sugar and cinnamon inside and combine
-Take the rest of the pie crust and add a top to the pie and fold edges together with your hands
-Sprinkle more cinnamon and sugar on top of the pie crust
-Bake the pie at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes or until golden.

On a Dime Cooking

For our project Erica, Jessica, and I will be finding recipes and cooking them every week until May. Then we will record what the food tastes like and how easy or hard it was to cook. For the rest of the year, 20% of your time in Seabs' class will be spent working on something that we want to work on. We have to learn in it someway or some how and then we have to document it every week. Our goals are to learn different styles of cooking and different techniques on how to cook certain foods. The way that we will measure our progress is to take pictures and videos and also we will blog about it every week. We will be using the book Delicious on a Dime Cookbook and also the website Pinterest. Our mentor will be Kristie LaRue because she is the cook teacher and we thought that if we did need help she would be the best person to ask.

How do our hearts and minds influence our actions?

Our hearts and mind influence our actions because we have our thoughts and then we have our actions. When people do things intentionally they usually follow their hearts instead of the habitat around them. But sometimes our hearts tell us one thing and our minds tell us another too.
