My CoChief

Sorry for the delay.. who knew homeownership involved so much work :) Now that the holidays are over we are attempting to finish unpacking, finish painting, organizing, etc, etc. Throw in the stomach bug and a few other things and we have been BUSY! We are currently painting closets, finishing the upstairs doors, redoing the pantry, and eventually the last room that needs painted- Jackson's room. Among about a million other projects I have in my head once we win the lottery. OK so back to cooking…..

My new year's resolution was to have Jackson do some more cooking and it has been so easy! I let him help with anything he's not allergic to or if it's on the stove duh. We started with pancakes.

The key is you have to give them their own bowl and several spoons or meltdowns happen. Also your house will be covered with dough just let it go. I do my cleaning on Sundays so we usually cook Saturdays. I encourage him to help with everything! Pouring, stirring, anything!

This day I was making something he couldn't help with so I just gave him empty containers, bowls, spoons and he loved it. I couldn't get him to quit cooking. And yes I let him stand on the chair, how else is he suppose to get up there like mommy?! He's really good about staying still and waiting to be let down. 

Checking out his recipe. 

I have goals to share the recipes we have been making…one day. This by far has been the easiest resolution!
