When we made pizza last week, I let Rae stir the dough. She was so excited as she proudly proclaimed, “I’m cooking!” Oh if only I had half her enthusiasm for cooking. It made me realize that I need to find more recipes that she can cook.
I found a recipe that we might try for Fresh Fruit with Lemon-Mint Sauce. She will be able to toss the fruit in the bowl and drizzle the sauce over it. Best of all this recipe uses honey, so it will be a great way to use some local honey in our diet.
I forget about salads or fruit as a dish that the kid can help out with. Her favorite part is mixing anyway. I definitely want to encourage her if she wants to be in the kitchen. Who knows. Maybe in a few year she will be doing a lot more in the kitchen, which means I will have to do less!

Hi,
). Also, it takes ages to get the hardened dough off the XBox contollers afterwards.
Pizza is the best thing to get Kids into cooking, However, they do have some weird ideas on what makes a good topping! (smarties are a no-no - they tend to melt
