Cooking kids

My kids love to help in the kitchen. I love that they love to help, of course, but our current kitchen is so tiny that I don't always have the most patience and would rather just get the job done quickly, on my own and get out of there. The other night James cooked and had the older two help him - double score for me!

I got to relax while they worked, and little Miss Asia played games on the phone.

Then we all enjoyed a yummy Thai curry!

So grown up?

We eat a lot of pasta in our house, often with a tomato-based sauce, sometimes a pesto sauce, occasionally a creamy one. The meat gets varied too and the shape of the pasta, so that we can avoid boredom. Last night was a fettuccine night and as we sat there twisting our pasta, Bryttain announced proudly

"This is how I twinkle my pasta"

I love to hear the things kids come up with; so cute and priceless. These are the little things I want to be able to remember in years to come.
