Culinary Kids
The Summer months spent away from school is full of fun times and relaxation. In our house it is a bit different. We spend a lot of time teaching our girls a lot of life skills. The latest skill is cooking. I figured if something happened to dear old mom, the family would wither away and sadly dear old dad only knows how to maneuver his way over to the drive-up window! If the girls can get down some simple meals then they would be able to take care of the family if I was down. So far they have learned the art of seasoning and cooking meats, cooking veggies, rice, mac and cheese (from a box! Hey, they are kids!), and lots of prep work (washing, chopping, etc.) They really seem to enjoy it and even more tasting their fantastic dishes they created!

Good job - I think that cooking, an activity that is essential to our survival as a species, is not valued the way it used to be. Hence a population that is GROWING - you know what I mean. I commend you for arming your children with the knowledge of how to feed themselves, which in turn teaches them to respect the food on their plates.
ReplyDeleteI had my ten year old help me bake cookies a few days ago. I think tonight my oldest can help make spagetti for dinner since he loves it so much! hehe
