Kid is cookin

I got this boy a kid's cook book a few days ago. He's gone through it a few times. Of course the first thing he wanted to make was a dessert. I told him he'd have to pick a dinner to go with. Overflowing with pride and joy here are his results.

Homemade tomato soup. 
Honestly from scratch.
With cupid croutons.

The soup was delicious! He actually LOVES tomatoes and he'll eat anything if you put oregano on it so the soup was a perfect pick for him. He chose the recipe specifically because of the croutons which he was a little let down by because they turned to mush as soon as they hit the soup but this was a total win none the less.

No bake snake cake.

It's rice krispie treats. How awesome did he do?!?! Now, I'm a big fan of sugar. I mean a huge fan. I love candy corn and Cadbury eggs and ain't much on the planet sweeter than those two candies BUT rice krispie treats don't need frosting. Even so, this thing is cute!

Throw in a ton of sun, lots of water, and just enough coffee for this mom and today was wonderful.

  1. It sounds an absolutely brilliant day! The soup sounds great. Not sure I'd have enjoyed eating the cake but yes, it certainly looks very cute.

  2. That is adorable, plus it is a life skill! And you never know when he might need to know how to make a rice krispie iced snake again!

  3. I love that he's cooking! Both of my boys have been cooking with recipe books for the past year or so, and it's wonderful to see!
