My little Chef

Maddie wanted to play dress up. Mommy needed to make meatballs to freeze. Thus the two were combined.

Now Mommy, when we're making meatballs you need to have on your apron or your chef clothes. I have on my chef clothes so that's ok, but you need your apron on because you're messy.

I'll show you what to do, ok? I know how. First you take a bit in your hand (eww it's slimy!) and roll it in your hands Mommy. You roll it and roll it like this and make it into a ball. You can make itsy bitsy ones or big gignormous ones.

See, just like this. Now, all you need to do is do that over and over and over and over until you get...

An entire tray full to go right into the oven! Voila!

They were yummy too! We now have enough to last quite a while in the freezer. Got to think of the next item to cook together (she had so much fun)...any ideas? Uhm yeah, it also needs to be easy because I want Maddie to help with it, uhm, not because I'm not a good cook or anything *grin*

That's awesome! I especially love the last picture. Kids get such a kick out of helping to cook!

It's funny, I was just working on a cooking post tonight, too :) Maybe we can get our two little chefs together soon for some real kitchen mischief!

Hmmm... maybe we should plan a zucchini-bread-making playdate... :) Whatchya think?
