Kids' Cooking Class

I felt silly when I actually purchased a cooking class to do with my kids.  After all, I know how to cook and they are in the kitchen with me all the time.  But this has quickly become one of our favorite things to do together!  We have an official cooking class every Monday, and the kids practice their new skills throughout the week.  We've learned how to spread, peel, and measure, and have also learned how to cut with sharp knives, read a recipe, cook on a stove and flip pancakes.  Bracken and Chandra love becoming more independent in the kitchen! 

 Although it takes more time to cook with them, the investment is already paying off as Chandra cuts her own apples or cooks her own scrambled eggs when she's hungry (with a little supervision), and Bracken has made pancakes from start to finish for breakfast several times.  They are both great choppers and Chandra is always especially willing to help me cut vegetables for salad or soup.  

Bracken was so proud of himself the first time he made pancakes from start to finish on his own!  I'm proud of him too!
