Since I was a little girl, I was taught that the domestic duty of cooking was not in the repertoire of the long line of independent women I come from. But I've recently come to realize that I can be an independent not-so-domesticated mommy and someone who cooks meals that my kids want to eat. So here's what I've decided to dedicate my "spare" time to in the next couple of months, in the hopes that I can get good enough at it to make it a regular habit: cooking! Not just cooking a meal here or there, but cooking meals that are good, healthy, and popular with my children! My oldest two are 4.5 year old twins, one boy and one girl. The youngest is only 7 months, so he's not quite ready to participate in my culinary experiment just yet. It's something I've been wanting to do for a while. It's something that I've needed to do for a while, not only for myself but for my children.
I've started Pinning all sorts of recipes. Trying to keep it simple and kid friendly are my main goals. Keep checking back here for updates on what I'm calling my "Fun with Food" 20% Project!

Sarah- Love this! and I'm sure your kids will too! I learned to cook by watching my mom cook. She would let me stir things and toss salads and be a part of it with her! Maybe you can set the tone for your children and make it a fun family activity by including them! To this day- when i go to my mom's I still sit on the counter while she cooks and I watch and help when I can

Congrats Sarah! This is such a rewarding project to take on! Your kiddos are so lucky. I grew up LOVING to cook (still do!) and have so many fond memories cooking with my family. Can't wait for the first post!
