Will you let your kids cook a meal today? If they are anything like my son, they’ll make a big mess when cooking. But that’s okay, their learning important skills. These skills will help them eat healthier and become independent.

When my son was younger and helping me in the kitchen we would sing a short little song. I’ll spare you my singing voice and just give you the lyrics.

Cooking with mommy,
can be lots of fun,
when it is done,
We'll eat it Yum Yum!

WE'LL EAT IT, YUM YUM!

Kids in your kitchen,
stop your bitch’n,

Yes, they may make a mess,
but I want to impress,

the benefits derived,
helps them thrive!

Start with a simple dish,
something they find delish.

They may break a few eggs,
please try not to nag.

Yes, they will spill,
but their belly is full.

Cleaning up the mess,
another lesson, I guess.

Let them have fun,
when it is done,

eat every crumb
Yum Yum!

"Tomorrow is national 'have a maid come clean your kitchen' day. If you haven't scheduled already, you might be too late." Ha ha.

You called it!

Yes! I knew it! Thanks for confirming. :D

Normally, I would accommodate a reader's request. Unfortunately, I am busy stuffing my face, oops, I mean researching tomorrow's topic, Cream Filled Donut Day.

Dang, maybe I should start doing some posts on food like you do. The research part sounds fascinating!

Its a tough job, but someone has to do it.

Thanks for taking one for the team!

Can't wait to see what Matteo is going to do once he takes over the kitchen. That'll be a real mess for sure ha ha.

My husband always told me the bigger the mess I made cooking, the better it tasted. He once asked me how I managed to get flour on the back of my shirt. So, I hope he makes big mess!

So I take it you are a chef with extraordinary skills : )

I have a few things I make well. My sister is the professional chef and she has asked me for recipe or two.

You have a minor misspelling in the following sentence:

More importantly, they are learning skills that will help become independant.
It should be independent instead of independant.

Thank you, I will correct the spelling.
