Breakfast Lunch or Dinner. Snacks in between you name it I am all for it.
I love it even more when it is made by someone else and all I have to do is sit down and enjoy.
This got me thinking about how I was so over the top when it came to no patience in the kitchen.
When my daughter was younger I never allowed her in the kitchen for too long a period, especially when I was cooking. This went for my nieces and nephews as well. I didn't want to deal with the clean up if they got into anything.
This extreme control may have backfired now because none of my little ones which are all grown up, know how to do much of anything in the kitchen.
I don't want anyone to repeat my mistake so in this post I am sharing links to sites that encourage kids in the kitchen along with recipes and tools for small hands. Perhaps this post can help the next mom or dad get some help in the kitchen and actually enjoy a little mess.
Happy bonding time in the kitchen wink wink!!!
This site has some great tools and kits really adorable!!!

ReplyDeleteJovina, thanks for comment coming from you it is greatly appreciated :)
DeleteI can kind of relate to not wanting to deal with the clean-up. Sometimes I have to hold my tongue :-) I think what helps me is that my little one wants to be a pastry chef and I want to encourage her in the kitchen.

DeleteOh yes... little ones do get in the way and make what would have been an hour into three but I love them in front of my eyes. I have become so used to them that I never get enything done when they aren't in my kitchen.

DeleteThis is great! I actually love to be in the kitchen but I also understand about little ones tagging along. It can be a hassle but these are great tips that I can consider for the future. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteKristal, thanks for visit! Enjoy that kitchen :)
DeleteI absolutely love when my 2 year old son helps me in the kitchen. He likes to open the fridge a lot to get things out for me. Helping me bake is awesome and the bonding time is great.
ReplyDeleteHopefully we could be blog friends, and you could come visit me! <3

Deleteoh, when my sons were younger they loved helping in the kitchen and we had a blast...but now...not so much - so it can be a two-edged sword.
