Any time they come to visit, my grandkids love to cook with me. Yes it's much slower, messier and I have to repeat myself over and over but they learn so much. KT lvoes to cook so this time she helped make pancakes, she fliped them herself and learned that when the bubbles pop it's time to turn. They were yummy even though they were from a mix. After breakfast we made black forest cup cakes with butter cream icing. They little girl learned why you don't lick a spoon and put it back in what you are fixing for other people. A good lesson on germs, sanitation and delayed gratification. Kids learn a lot more than you think when they cook with you.
