My Cozy Kitchen

There are so so many things in life that I love to do, problem is, I get bored with things very quickly. It is a piece of my personality that drives my sweet husband crazy! I love to accomplish things & move on! One thing I never get tired of is cooking. I love to cook!

Cooking is an outlet for me, everything in my life can be crazy, but there is peace in my kitchen :)  I have no 'real' skill, no education, just a really good taste testers (aka Big Daddy & lil bug). The downfall is- my waistline. My theory is if you cook it, than the calories you consume do not count for you- seems fair to me! IF ONLY...

I remember always helping my mom in the kitchen. I always enjoyed spending that time with her. It is so much fun to now get to share those moments with my sweet girl. The minute I say "its time to cook", she grabs her stool & runs in to help. She is a very good helper. Every night she sets the table & gets drinks ready. Not only do I love getting to teach her about cooking but she is also more willing to try food she helps make. On Valentines Day, she made brownies all by herself! I gave her the tools & she knew exactly what to do- I was so proud of her! There are times when having two extra little hands can create a bigger mess or can slow me down, but at the end of the day the mess can be cleaned & these moments are priceless.

Kar cutting peppers for the 1st time with a REAL knife.  She thought she was such a big girl!
(Please excuse the bottle of cleaner on the counter! :) this is a real house- things don't always get put away! ;)

Sampling her Brownies :) DELISH!
