It’s amazing how after two weeks of featuring the kids in the kitchen how much they’ve become more independent and helpful in the kitchen. Little Man has been getting his own orange juice and this morning Monkey begged me to allow her to make breakfast for everyone (cereal.) Buddy didn’t want cereal so he reheated his own breakfast burritos.
Last night we didn’t have a lot of time for dinner, but I wanted to get the kids in to help. I made mini meatloaf muffins and the kids helped me make mashed potatoes from scratch. It was fun to watch them all try to smush the potatoes.
I told Monkey to smile and that was what she gave me. She’s a goofy one!! They keep asking me to make their own lunches again since last week, too. Maybe tomorrow morning I’ll let them have their wish!

love it! all it takes is a little encouraging and guidance and they can really be so helpful! love those trays too.
lookss fun!! I know my boys would have a blast helping me in the kitchen
MMMM, I bet they enjoyed the mashed potatoes a little more this time?
I love C’s face!
Love the face…and sounds yummy! My kids learned to say “cheese” at Disney last Fall and now all their pictures look so forced.
I have so much fun in the kitchen with my kids and it makes them feel so big when they get to help!
Love it! And I have one who makes goofy faces in pictures all the time! 🙂 Thanks for co-hosting. I’m really enjoying this linky party.
Mini meatloaf muffins sound really good right now. Believe I will be making some this week for supper. Thanks for the inspiration.
I love it! Mister Man made mashed potatoes “all by himself” a couple weeks ago and was so proud. Every time he makes something, he tells me that it tastes better. I love that ownership 🙂
