Map your Recipe - Building Geographic and Historical Awareness with Grandma's Peppernut Recipie

Since the wind in howling and it is November 1, it is time to start thinking about the holidays and the food that comes along with them.  Map your Recipe is a great tool to look at those family classics in a new way.

Since I can't find our recipe for peppernuts, I found one on Food Network.  Sorry Grandma Van der Werf, this is not your famous creation.

Just copy and paste your favorite recipe and then stand back and watch it work.  Amazingly enough, the Russian Mennonite recipe uses ingredients mostly from the Middle East!  If you are a total geek like me, then you can also look at the history of the recipe.  Just think of the many ways that you could use this.  It could be in a geography lesson about family recipes.  This is such a cool site!  Hope you will find a way to use this in your classroom.  As always, let me know of anything you would like to contribute to the website.  I am always looking for your input or direction on where you would like me to go next.
