I just wanted to share the fun I had with little Drew last night. We made New York Cheesecake for Father's Day and he pretty much does it all (he's 4). We made a little movie about it (complete with the recipe):
I love to bake, but with this new diet, I have to be careful! So I'm focusing my efforts on baking for events where OTHER people will eat the goods all up. (-:
Happy weekend, all!!

This is great! Drew is such an awesome baker! Me and JJ (2.5) made a banana cake on Tuesday. We got the recipe from an episode of Blue's Clues. She's watched that video about 2 dozen times, so finally we made it so she could see it in real-time kitchen action. Unfortunelaty, all 3 of us ate said cake in one day's time.. oops!

You gave Drew the perfect job for his age! Crushing graham crackers! How wonderful.... He is such a cutie, Heidi. Thank you for sharing your darling son with us!

I love that he can crack eggs by himself! He is very proud of having his own "little chef" apron and kitchen equipment too. I feel very, very lucky to have that little guy... and I gotta remember that for the times he makes me crazy! (-:

Your little boy is so cute! Takes me back to those days! Very tough to observe others as they enjoy the products of your baking but there is so much love in that endeavor. Keep the faith! Love the pictures!

And by the way: this post gave me great birthday ideas for the girls. Since I want them to grow up in the kitchen and learning to cook real foods instead of buying prepackaged, processed versions, I am now planning on getting them monogrammed aprons and some cookware of their own for their birthdays this October. Thanks for the tip!

That is so cool! I found Drew a cute apron at Williams Sonoma on sale for $9, but there are tons of free patterns online that you could do. I also found his cookware at Cost Plus World Market, including a real spatula, whisk, scraper, ladle, basting brush, pizza cutter (since he's not allowed to use knives) and rolling pin (they made a small size) and a set of nesting, brightly colored plastic mixing bowls, sieve, colander, and measuring cups!
Also, instead of using a knife, I often let Drew use a pretty heavy-duty egg slicer to cut mushrooms and strawberries. One of his favorite jobs is washing and picking grapes off their stems; we then put 1 cup of grapes in a plastic baggie and freeze them for snacks.
I love that you're teaching your girls this critical skill! I got my little brother (10 years younger, age 25) into cooking at age 11, and now he's quite a hit with the ladies! (-:
