Cooking Traditions With My Children

I always knew that my son, Joseph, would follow in Kathryn's, my 5 yr-old, footsteps. I just didn't realize it would be so soon! Joseph just turned 2 on the 22nd and for the last couple of weeks he has been a great helper....well....atleast he trys. He pulls a chair to the counter everytime he sees me getting out a Homemade Gourmet mix.

Here he is making the new Orange Dream Pound Cake. Kathryn was making muffins for one of my tasting parties. Now the two fight for the 'prime space' and who gets to pour what. I guess I'm just happy that they like to help me in the kitchen. A tradition I hope we continue. It's wonderful to see Kathryn's and Joseph's proud face when their creation is done! Maybe it's time to get Joseph his own cooking apron, although my husband, Jose, might not like the idea....we'll see!

I would love to hear how you and your children bond in the kitchen!
