It’s a lot of work, don’t get me wrong. It takes more time and effort…and there is a lot of “don’t taste that; it has raw egg” LOL, but it is so worth it.
This weekend, Emerson and I made banana bread — I had some bananas that need to be used up.
Emerson smashed the bananas with a fork. We measured out the flour and sugar together and helped add all the other ingredients. Then we poured it into the bread pan.
With every step, she would say “I can do that part!”
She was so happy when she saw the finished loaf come out of the oven. I could see that she felt proud that she had a hand in preparing our morning snack when we sat down to eat it.
We served it warm with cream cheese. It was quite yummy.
I have some pictures below of the day we made an apple pie together. This was really fun and easy, since it didn’t contain anything she couldn’t lick off her fingers.
She told me last night as I was preparing dinner “When I’m a little bigger I’ll be able to cook all by myself!
