Cooking like Crazy!
The kiddos have been in the kitchen alot this week! They love to help out with making meals and snacks. I think that having them involved in making/preparing food helps them to want to try more new things and keeps them eating pretty healthy.
Lyssy and Laneybug snapped all the greenbeans for me. Not only are they doing a great life skill here, but they are also really working their fine motor skills.

They also made a GREAT batch of trail mix.
I've never actually followed a trail mix recipe, we just throw whatever we have in the cabinet in it.
Today we had marshmallows, choc chips, banana chips, dehydrated papaya and pineapple, raisins, goldfish, nuts, and fried peas.
We also made applesauce. They couldn't really peel or slice the apples, but they could eat the peel!
Somehow I left out the picture where they mashed the cooked apples with a potato masher, that was their very favorite part!
Yummy! This applesauce was SO good!

WOW, they did do alot. Lu was funny tonight when we went out to dinner (bc I need to grocery shop after the vacation still) there was long green beans on her plate, and she said "this resturant must not know how to snap their green beans" LOL
hahahaha! she should go show them how it's done!
I often make my boys help with snapping the beans or shelling our peas. They actually love it.
I just looked over your blog - you do a lot of fun cooking projects with the kids - so fun!
