Cooking Lessons

Taylor is getting to the age where she wants to help me cook all the time, so we've been working with her on kitchen safety and cooking skills.  So far, she's made pancakes, scrambled eggs, various baking projects and helped me mix things together when I'm making dinner. 

Sunday night we made chicken salad and corn on the cob and the kids had a great time shucking the corn:

We only had one ear end up in the trash. I'll give you one guess who dropped it! ;-)

I taught Tay how to chop eggs (carefully!) and she did three by herself.  The only thing I did for the chicken salad was to boil and shred the chicken!

 

Last night, we made stuffed green peppers and Taylor helped me brown the ground beef, saute the mushrooms, and mix the filling together. 

 

 

I am loving the fact that she wants to help because its like having my very own sous chef!  Actually, I'm doing more of the prep and letting her do more of the cooking, so maybe one day I'll become the sous chef! :-)
