Little Chef's

Aspen and Toby have been practicing their culinary skills for us the past couple weeks. It is so awesome that my kids know how to cook and want to do it.
Aspen has been busy with desserts. She's made Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting, streudel, cinnamon rolls, and Pumpkin Pie. Aspen just goes to the cupboard, picks a recipe, and goes to town. She did all these desserts without any help from Nate or me, but lots of help from Hazel! She even figured out substitutions for Hazel, who is lactose intolerant!

Toby made Chicken Makhani (our family's favorite indian dish) and Thai Red Curry Chicken. He did an awesome job, I might add.

They both even clean up after themselves! I have been waiting for my kids to get to this stage. It is so wonderful to have their help - and they really enjoy it too!

  1. They did a great job. I have just started having the girls cook. Cynthia loves to make carrot cake and Isabella likes to make cookies.

  2. Kudos to all of them. They have a great mother and it is a testament to you that they want to do this and feel compentent and know that you will not interfere. That is the hardest and the most important.
    They are the best. Give them my love and admiration and that I am very proud of them.
