It was time. My voracious eater needed to start seeing where the food came from. We started with smoothies.
She’ll carefully puts banana pieces into the blender cup, along with wheat germ, flax seed oil, berries, fruit, yogurt, spinach – whatever else might be good. She then puts the cap on and holds it on the base, smiling that squishy nose smile of pure excitement.
So we moved beyond blended drinks to real food. I sit her on the counter and she helps me crack eggs, mix batter, dump in ingredients, and add seasoning (the cinnamon shaker is a hit, though I need to put a regulator on it!).
Here’s Avery adding just the right amount of mayo to slices of sandwich bread.
I love it! My kids started cooking with me when they were young, too, and I still treasure those memories.
You are an awesome mom! ❤️
