My Daughter, The Chef.



Lindsay just loves loves loves to cook, bake, whip, stir, puree, or chop( with a butter-knife of course) anything in the kitchen with me. Most of the time, this little hobby of hers is so fun! Sometimes, as all mothers know, I can do without all the "help". If I am in the kitchen, most likely she is right there with me helping

with whatever job I give her. The older she gets, the more she has gotten to do and the more she loves cooking! One of our favorite things to do together is watch "the cooking channel" as she calls it (The Food Network). Her absolute favorite show is Iron Chef. I have always liked how much she enjoys being in the kitchen, but lately it seems to have reached new heights. Luckily she hasn't ever tried to do anything by herself or without
permission, but she has taken to reading cookbooks! She loves going through Cooks Illustrated or Cook's Country (and who can blame her???)looking at all the pictures, trying to decide what she would like us to try out. This is really fun to watch, but for the past three night these magazines are what she wants for her bedtime books! That seems a little crazy to me! She is supposed to be keeping track of the books she reads everyday for school... what I am supposed to write down? Cooks Country "How to Frost a Cake" (this is the article we read tonight). It's only been 3 nights now, but I think tomorrow I will encourage a little Fancy Nancy.

That's totally awesome. She should really check out Taste of Home - that's my absolute favorite cooking magazine. Actually, they are coming to Longmont on the 27th for a Cooking Class - you should consider taking her!

I love that you have something you can share with her. Even if it's a cookbook at least she is willing to read.

So cute! I'm sure her Kindergarten teacher would love to see that on the reading list! That magazine is Gavin's favorite bedtime story too. :)

She has fabulous taste! I remember when I was a young girl one of my favorite things to read was my mother's cake decorating book. Sounds like fun to me :)

Corinne said...

Ok I have loved catching up on your adorable blog. Here are my thoughts:)...

-What a doll Lindsay is with cooking! I love that they are her reading material...so cute!

- That picture of Brandon! Oh my goodness girl...I've been telling you forever, but wow, watch out for that boy. Oh I miss him. I think you SHOULD be so proud of him. I love those proud mommy moments:)

-Hinges! You go girl! I just think that is so awesome!

-I can't believe Sophie is 6 months either..wow, she is so cute.

I just think your kids are the cutest...and what a cute mom they have too! Guess that just explains it:)
