Cooking with the Kids

Cooking is one of my favorite things to do as part of our homeschooling. It has been a way to learn how to add, understand fractions, read, follow directions, and explore other cultures. It is also a great way to foster cooperation, improve listening skills, and emphasize the importance of following directions. This is true when they were little and continues in their teens. Today they decided to cook Pecan-Crusted Chicken Tenders for lunch.






Yesterday at the library ds picked up Rachel Ray’s Top 30 30-minute meals - For Guys. I think he was attracted to the small size of the book and the many pictures. But no matter what the attraction, the three of us cooked lunch today and both of them have been pouring over the book planning our upcoming meals. (Thanks, Rachel!)
