It makes my mama heart so happy that my boys interests have moved towards wanting to cook in the kitchen! Tyler, has always had a passion for food and he enjoys the entire process of shopping for groceries, to getting food on the table. I’m excited to start this new post series called, Cooking with Kids!
He received this kids cookbook from Christmas and the recipes were created by chefs at the Food Network. The plan is for Tyler to choose two recipes per week to cook together in the kitchen.
