My daughter just turned 10 this past week and now that she is in “double digits” she feels VERY grown up! She and her cat Lucky Lou are always very interested in what’s cooking in the kitchen and love to help. It’s really kind of funny… Lucky just wants to smell everything, not taste it. Once he is given a sniff he is satisfied and happy to curl up on the floor and watch the goings on. Brittany is a great helper and loves to pour in the ingredients and stir things. Our contribution to the family Thanksgiving feast this year is dessert. Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake has specifically been requested. No Problem! My 10 year old is ready to make it “all by herself”, and the great thing is that she can! I can just see the light in her face when she gets to tell the family (all of those older cousins) that she made the dessert this year! These are moments that Homemade Gourmet makes possible for my family. How about yours?
