As you all know, I spend quite a bit of time in the kitchen. I have some very early memories of being in the kitchen with my Mom and I think one of the most important tools I can teach my children is how to cook.
I know not everyone wants to know how to cook, or I guess there are some people that have a hard time making KD, but I really don't understand those people.
Frozen pizza is not real food!
I guess it just comes naturally to me, I know what it means when a recipe says to dice an onion and mince garlic.
So I spend time with my kids in the kitchen and I know as they get older we will spend even more time together cooking and baking.
What I have not done yet though, is take either of them to a cooking class, but when Kulinary Kids announced on their Facebook page the other day that they where holding a draw for some free classes, I jumped at the chance - as luck would have it we won one!
I won a spot for Little Girl to attend one of their Growing Chefs classes. It is a 1 hour long, unparented class where they help make one item, class is valued at $40.
On the agenda for this week: Mexican Churros.
Little Girl was super excited for the class, but when we got there her shyness kicked in. Although it is unparented, she asked that I stay, which I didn't really mind - I got to take some fantastic photos and saw her doing things I have not allowed her to do at home yet.
The final product. |
Little girl had a great time, she was so proud of herself and the food she got to bring home.
It was a super big confidence booster for her! I highly recommend signing your kids up for a class, or summer camp.
