Chef in Training

Porter comes by his culinary interests very naturally. Matt and I have been trying to include him cooking tasks that he can handle without too much mess or danger. He, however, has other ideas. On more than one occassion, he has been found with all sorts of 'recipes' all over my kitchen. His favorite toys seem to be my Pampered Chef gadgets. Reguardless of how many toy kitchen gadgets we get him, he always goes back to my utensil organizers and finds the 'perfect tool'! The scarest times are right after we watch Iron Chef America. He loves to find a 'secret ingredient' and then make his creations. I hope that we have him understanding that he is not, under any circumstances, allowed to play with the eggs!

Some of his efforts are producing nice treats. One favorite new sandwich is Peanut Butter, Honey and Cinnamon. Another was a sorbet of sort...he mashed (with a tart shaper nontheless)bananas, blueberries, strawberries together with redi-whip and then froze the concoction. It tasted good. He is learning some helpful skills. Here are some pictures of him rolling out his very own homemade flour tortillas!!!!

More adventures await....I'll keep you posted!
