My 12 year old son, Luke is a chef in the making. This boy rocks it out in the kitchen! Seriously, he's just a natural in the kitchen. There are times I
ask tell him to assist me with dinner and he begrudgingly accepts. My point being, he rarely hangs out around me in the kitchen, yet, he can rock out some awesome recipes of his own and when he sets his heart to it, he can prepare it perfectly. He truly knocks my socks off sometimes. During Christmas we always make his favorite cookie, Snickerdoodles. One year he tells me that we need to crush some peppermints and add them to the cookie. Hot damn, I didn't know Snickerdoodles could get tastier! Over the weekend while he was at Boy Scout camp, he fell into the camp chef position. He came home and told me about his hamburgers that he grilled for everyone and the boys were raving about them. He won't share his spices with me though, he says it's a secret ingredient. I look forward to lots of BBQ's this summer and Luke Burgers! His Papa H may be in for a challenge with his Daddy Burgers!
After lunch today, he recreated a dessert that he made for the boys over the weekend.
Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Fried Apples

So easy and so yummylicious!

~ Enjoy!
Hahaha! Both kids so adorable, Dee! And Luke did a wonderful job. I'm sure mommy has been making great food and sweets that they just learned cooking naturally. What a lovely post. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nami!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it when my kids help me in the kitchen! My 11 year old (also a Scout!) was praised at the last jamboree for his fluffy scrambled eggs. :) He made 30 servings too! Proud mom moment. Now if I could only teach him to clean up after himself!! ;)
ReplyDeleteThese kinds of apples are one of our favs in the summer. We love them over vanilla ice cream. Tastes like apple crips ... without the crisp.
Love it that your kids are keeping the cooking love alive! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI love that your kids are in the kitchen! My son is only 6, and thinks helping can be fun SOMEtimes. Looking forward to him getting older and being able to do more :) Oh, and the apples look delicious!
