A Cook and Shopper in the Making

Yesterday morning, Jenna helped me make a small fruit salad! I thought to get out the step stool so she could reach the counter without me holding her. She thought she was big stuff! She enjoyed stirring the fruit and sampling it. I affectionately call that "cook's profit"! She's learning the concept early. Yesterday afternoon she also helped me make chex mix too. She's definitely going to be a big kitchen helper.





Last weekend, I tried my hand at making my Papu's fresh apple pie recipe for my Dad's birthday. It was definitely a success so I'm sure Jenna will be helping me with those in the future too. We served it hot with french vanilla ice cream. YUMMM!!!!

Here's a picture of the finished product:

This weekend, Jenna and I also went shopping twice! Usually, she's pretty anxious to get in and out, wants to get out and walk, etc. However, she was a little angel both trips! I think we have a born shopper on our hands! The second trip was supposed to be a short one, but she fussed so much when I put her back in the carseat that I took her to another store, and she did great for another hour!

What fun we will have with many shopping trips and cooking experiences!
