Eli and I are starting to pretend we have our own cooking show for kids. I am teaching him how to stay organized in the kitchen and cleaning as you go. This is the one thing that I find really important when baking. Today, we made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. He wanted them to be like the ones at the store :) However, we made them better. We found a basic recipe from food network and now have more cookies than we can handle. I look forward to giving cookies to our friends..JPG)
Every time we bake together, I let him do a little more. If he keeps up with all his good work and helping me clean even when I don't ask him to, I am going to promote him to actually measuring instead of just mixing things. Today, I let him slowly pour the flour into our mixer. He did a great job.
Later after we baked, Holly and I made gluten free, mini pizzas. Eli is still not into trying new things, so he had ramen noodles. We will not be baking tomorrow, but I am going to make grilled polenta with wild mushrooms. It is a special light dinner for our special guests coming over for the debate :)
