Tonight Joel made us cheese and onion flan without the pastry (2 onions, 2 cups grated cheese, 2 eggs, 2/3 cup milk), Nathan made 2 minute noodles and Micah made vegetable faces with cucumber and carrot. Here's the result:

As a non-parent I find it interesting watching the behaviour of my friends' children and the corresponding attitudes of the parents and what they expect of and teach them.

Hi Simone,
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great idea. What age were your children when you started this? I'm keen to get my girls making meals in the future but I don't know when is a good time to start.
hey - don't ask me for advice! I'm hopeless! Started about a month ago. Kids weren't interested before that (and nor was I) - but at the moment they're really keen. They help during the week too - one boy per night. But I set the menu.
ReplyDeleteI think start whenever you can handle it. It slows things down!
