The easiest way to teach my kids the basics of being in the kitchen includes preparing simple dishes with minimal ingredients and steps.
As a child, I felt like I was creating something straight out of a Martha Stewart magazine and it bolstered my confidence enough to eventually start baking from scratch and even creating my own recipes.įast forward 30 years and you’ll often find one or both of my kids on their step stool, at my side, measuring, pouring, and mixing as we talk about the art and science of creating delightful meals. At the time, my “baking” consisted of opening up a box and adding in the required amount of eggs, milk, and oil.
Several times a week, my mom would oversee the baking of muffins, scones, cakes and other treats. My love for baking began in the kitchen of my childhood home.
