We are all home cooks now. This is the nature of our reality. So what a better time then now to teach our children the things you wish your parents had taught you. For me it’s baking. I never baked anything as a child. It wasn’t really a thing my mom did unless it was from a box. So as I’ve turned the corner into thirty and I am discovering a love of food I didn’t realize I had before I want to show my son what he can make with his bare hands.
So this week we are going to try a few things. First and foremost I believe we might do something together that I have yet to try. We are going to try and make soda bread. Its a non yeasted bread. It’s leavened with baking soda and baking powder which means it doesn’t need to proof. So awesome right? Perfect for small kids with no patience.
The next thing we are going to do is bake and decorate delicious super hero cupcakes. We are going to do hulk cupcakes so they will have a surprise filling inside. It’s going to be a whole lot of fun. I want to make memories with my son that he can take with him for a long time.
It’s important for me to make the most of this rare time I have with my son. This means trying desperately to let go of my control in the kitchen and teach my son things he can take with him into adulthood. Let me know in the comments what kind of things you’ve taught your kids to cook. We need to create a new generation of home cooks especially in our little men.
