My Junior Chefs, Evan and Katie, will be here making sides today. They’ll tackle my cranberry relish, the pies, the cheese ball, the baked beans, and the stuffing, and learn some new kitchen skills to add to their growing experience. They love to cook, and I love to teach them. First thing they learned was “clean as you go” so I don’t even have to worry about a big mess in this tiny kitchen.

Katie spent the night here last night, and helped me get the house ready since I’m still limited on what I can do and Grampa is out of town. So she made dinner: Steamed new potatoes, corn, and catfish nuggets. Mmmmm, so good! She’s really pickier than Evan about her Mise en place - he’s more a “prep as I need it” kinda cook! In this tiny kitchen it will probably be chaos, but better today than tomorrow.

Love you all...if you’re traveling, travel safely. And have the Happiest Thanksgiving ever!!

Teaching kids to cook is a really wonderful gift. I treasure the time that I spent with my Mom in the kitchen.
One day I was doing a quick shopping trip through the store and I saw this young man with a basket just standing and staring at the pasta section. Knowing that I sometimes have a hard time finding the type of pasta I want, I asked if I could help him find something. Turns out, he wanted to make a "fancy" dinner for his girlfriend but had no clue what to buy and how to do it. I took my little notebook out of my purse and took him around the store buying ingredients and writing down the instructions for a Spaghetti and Meatball dinner that was sure to impress. The first line said "fill kitchen sink with hot soapy water, wash dishes as you use them". The last line read "finish the remaining dirty dishes as the spaghetti boils for 7 minutes".
I happened to bump into him about a week later at the same store and got to meet his girlfriend. She showed my her engagement ring and thanked me for helping him out with the surprise romantic dinner and instructions to keep a clean kitchen.

My friends kids never learned to cook - now that they are on their own it all fast food and frozen pizzas. They are so excited to be invited over for a home cooked meal.

When I was little, I used to love helping my grandmother in the kitchen. I paid attention. When my daughters began showing an interest in cooking, the middle, and youngest paid attention. The oldest did not want to learn to cook. She thought she could just throw stuff in a pan, and apply heat. When that failed, she became a microwave queen. She could nuke food with the best of them. She was fully grown before she began learning to actually cook.
