Young Chef's Academy

Ethan went on a field trip today to the Young Chef's Academy. He had so much fun! They learnred how to make oven fries and caramel popcorn and fresh squeezed lemonade. After, we went to the park for lunch and some playtime.

The academy was pretty cool! They have the most colorful kitchens! They offer classes there too. A little pricey for my family of 4 but it gave me some ideas of what I can do at home with Ethan myself! Now to convince Kevin to paint my kitchen so bright and colorful. Hahaha!

The Grillmaster's Sidekick part 2

A great website for cooking with kids!

I'm not sure why I can't just add a link that can be clicked on. Sorry :)

This website is full of wonderful ideas! They even have a 7 week cooking camp curriculum that you can order for less than $10.

The grill master's sidekick

We had a combined family birthday party yesterday and Ethan was outside helping Shawn grill. Ethan told his daddy that he knows how to grill all by himself now :) Thanks Shawn for letting him be your sidekick!
