Teaching your kids to cook.

Tweet

There are many cookbooks out there for children. I have a young daughter of four years old. She likes to help in the kitchen and I like to encourage her to participate. Do you have any suggestions for easy children's recipes, cookbooks, or even just a funny teaching-children-to-cook anecdote? When I was a child, I came home from school and was hungry -- but not for anything in the fridge. I decided to cook something. We had leftover pie crust dough, so I rolled out a pie crust and went looking for things to put in it. Raisins, cinnamon sugar, pineapple, these sounded like sweet pie filling stuff to me. The pie was horribly sweet. I ate a small piece and left the rest on the table. Later, I came back to discover that my brother had eaten the rest of the pie. Do you have any idea how much fiber can be found in an entire pound of raisins? I assume that he suffered for his gluttony in silence somewhere.
