Teach them to Cook...

 

 

Good Day!! How is your week treating you?

We are doing good here. Enjoying the warmth of the days

and trying to get outside when the wind isn't blowing.

Which...some days that is a challenge!

The weather is suppose to be in the high 70's 

and then low 80's with wind...oh goody!  I can hardly wait!

(enter sarcasm here)

So, on days that the wind blows you to Kansas,

I try to find things to catch up on in the house

or I like to bake.

I love it when I find my helpers wanting

 to bake or cook along side me.

I find great joy in it!

I'll let them create a special treat for the family to try

and sometimes we judge the meal or treat

 for some good ol' fashion fun!

(like being on Chopped)

We  I watch a lot of cooking shows and of course

 the kids baking shows.

I love that there are kids that love to create through baking.

We've got to get inspired somehow....

Awhile back, I showed the boys how to make crepes.

We did a lot of laughing as we were trying

 to master the flipping of the crepes.

Each one of them tried their hardest to 

flip it without it landing on the floor.

Some, well....never made it back to the pan...

And others were airborne!

After many flips and flops,

we managed to get several made.

I must admit to you, that my oldest son 

is now a pro at making crepes.

When he wants crepes, he makes them. 

I gladly gave up that job,

They are a lot of work!

(Wink inserted here)

And after it's all said and done,

we spent time together creating something yummy

and making special memories!!

I think it's very important to teach our children how to

cook and to clean. We are giving them such a gift

that they can and will use daily!

I couldn't have said it better myself!

I love the time spent with my boys.

I love to see the spark of creativity in them.

And oh boy, have I eaten some interesting food concoctions...

But, I wouldn't change any of it for anything!

Do your children like to cook in the kitchen with you?

I hope you all have a great week!

Thanks so much for stopping by...
