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!

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
