Alyssa has taken a big interest in cooking and baking. She likes helping me decorate cookies and cupcakes, but recently she’s taken more of an interest in helping out with meals. Last week my mom gave me a French fry cutter, and once Alyssa saw how easily it worked (with red-skinned potatoes, anyway), she couldn’t get enough of it. If I remember correctly, we’ve had homemade French fries three times this week, and she’s still asking to make more fries.
Alyssa also loves picking out recipes for me to make for dinner, which is fine by me, because there are a lot of nights when I just don’t know what to make. When I go grocery shopping, I tend to just stock up on a lot of meats, a lot of vegetables, and sides like potatoes, rice, flavored pastas, etc. So I’ve been picking up those little recipe books that the grocery stores keep by the checkout lanes, and using them for many dinner ideas. Alyssa flips through them too, and has chosen dinner on more than one occasion.
Do your kids like to help you cook?
