RE: Cooking with Kids: Biscuits and Gravy
awesome post @thedarkhorse!!! This post and the time you spent with it and with your daughter is clearly a labor of love - well done!
and the food looks great too!
Thank you sir! It's great hearing that others liked the effort put it. The Cooking with Kids theme is one I want to continue. Some are going to be completely simple dishes and others a little more complicated. But in all I think they will all be ones that can be done with kids as prep time will be under 20-25 minutes or so which is about the attention span I find works.
one of the joys of my childhood, my Mom got me a 'cookbook for kids'. my very first attempt, as I recall was cooking oatmeal for breakfast. It also helped me earn my 'cooking' badge in Cub Scouts.
And more important than what your daughter cooks is that both of you will remember the memories and good times shared in the kitchen.
One thing I can be proud of is my kids will never hear the song Cats in the Cradle and understand the emotion that some of us feel when hearing that song. My girls have had at least one of us home their entire lives and for the most part both of us working from home. Our schedules are so flexible they get attention when they want it.
Tomorrow afternoon is horse riding lessons for the first time. 3:30pm and 75 minutes away...not to many parents have the opportunity that both can commit to something like that on a Monday. They are so excited and I can't wait to watch!
I remember the song well. I believe that kids spell "Love" like this - "TIME" - seems like not enough kids get Time, their parents are too busy trying to get ahead by worldly measures and miss the treasures that are right there at home.
And I am, sadly, guilty, of spending too much time trying to provide for my family and not enough Time with my family.
