My middle two have a passion for cooking. It was enhanced by the incredible Disney nove, Rattouille. I have caught them making some interesting 'recipes' of late. 
The worst...definitely red pop, sour cream and onion chips, pink
lemonade, sugar, gum balls, water. "Red Soup", as they call it, was truly one of the grossest things I've ever encountered as a Mother. (And...they tasted it!)
So, to push along my little chef's, I found sweet pink toque's at Target ($1) and they donned their aprons...and we cooked!
Ok, it was instant pudding...but it turned green when the milk hit it!
So, remember: Anyone CAN COOK!
(and leave it to B to have her own 'little chef')

I love to cook, and always get my boys into the act. When things go well, I try to mention them on my blog. Here's one that was a big hit for us: making butter. We've done it tons of times, and I'm sure it'll be much easier with your big kids (well, they're big compared to mine :) Here's the link if you're interested: http://whatacard.blogspot.com/2008/05/laura-ingles-better-watch-out.html
They look so cute in there little chef outfits.
I LOVE the little hats - I may have to pick one up for my niece, who is the biggest little helper in the kitchen.
:)
great pic's!
My boys love to cook too, they call it potion making. Where they proceed to mix anything and everything they can find. It's gross, but creative. lol
Thanks for visiting me Monday for my SITS day!

Cute girls, especially in the aprons and hats.
I am loving the little dog on her head in the last picture. Did she have it on her head beneath her chef's hat? Too cute!
Lovin' the new look of your blog! Happy SITS day!
My eldest used to do this all the time when she was younger - anything she could get her hands on went into her recipes. Some of them were kind of scary.
I did this too, but it was bathroom concoctions. Baby powder and had lotion could be used as mortar. Speaking from experience here.
So sweet!
My boys love to cook secret potions. They basically just add anything and everything they can find into a big bowl. It's scary.
I didn't think anyone outside of Canada or North Dakota knew that word!
Or are you just a big fan of Strange Brew's 12 days of Christmas?? " )
Hopefully they'll love cooking through their adult years as well.
We loved that movie too.
My girlies love to cook and bake. It's a great activity I can do with them. During the summer they make their chive "soup" that we all try to eat. (blech) It's fun though!
That pudding looks so yummy!
I'm not a kitchen person, but wish I was...although, I am getting better at making dinners and wanting to eat at home.
I hope my daughter loves cooking as much as I do. Your little girls are adorable in those aprons!
I'm really glad I found your blog. I like your playlist too!
Oh, and ummm I used to experiment and make things all the time -- includign into high school. The one rule was that we always had to try it and taste it. We couldn't just make a mess. It really helped my culinary skills as I went to college and beyond :)

I hope you have enjoyed your SITS day!
