RE: Cooking with Kids: Strawberry Crepes (004)
Couldn't agree with you more about it being a great time to talk with the kids and teach them some valuable skills. It's not just about cooking, it helps with math, following instructions, patience, working as a team, communication skills, and more. For such a simple everyday thing there is a lot to be learned by a young child. Think it's truly overlooked as a way to bond with your kids.
My kids call it "Brinner", it's like Brunch except breakfast for dinner.
You are absolutely right; all the skills involved are necessary things in life. And unfortunately, it does get overlooked; probably because it's extra work and messy :) but at the end of the day, it's a pittance compared to the rewards received by children and parents.
Love "Brinner" as well, very clever kids there!
I really think that part of it is they think they are to busy to cook. Seriously I can make most meals in under 30 minutes and that is with working with my kids. It takes me that long to run and grab fast food and get it on the table. The only challenge is making sure you have food in the house.
