Making Cookies and Beyond……
My Daughter, cooking with me in the kitchen
Can you remember some of your fondest memories with your Mom, Grandma or an adult figure in your life? Some of my happiest memories are most definitely cooking with my Mom and having my Grandma teach me to make fudge. As an adult, I have learned to LOVE cooking. I absolutely feel like heaven when I am in my kitchen cooking something wonderful.
I have spent lots of time cooking with my children. My son enjoys cooking, but my four year old daughter LOVES to cook!! Her eyes light up any time I ask her to help me in the kitchen.
I know while we are working together in the kitchen that she is so very happy. This picture is the first time she made cinnamon rolls with me and she loved sprinkling the brown sugar on top. She enjoys making food fancy and decorating cookies and pouring ingredients, cracking eggs, sprinkling…she loves it all. I know that these are memories she will hold onto forever. I know she will look back at our time in the kitchen together and it will be a very special memory for her. I imagine her being in college teaching her roommates how to make the perfect chocolate chip cookie and creamiest mashed potatoes ever!!
Allowing her to help me in the kitchen definitely takes a lot more time, but I know that the time we are spending together and the happiness she feels with me in the kitchen will stay with her forever. Cooking is something she enjoys doing and I hope to continue fostering that talent in her and help her continue to do spectacular things in the kitchen!!
