Homemade Lasagna

It's about time Mama learned how to make home-made lasagna.  Not hard at all!  Emma was a great assistant chef.  And there was so much that we ate it for several meals!

October Cookies

Black cats, white ghosts, orange pumpkins, oh my! And don't you just love her adorable smiles! We may be a little messy, but we have a lot of fun making sweets in the kitchen!

Ace of Cakes

Emma thoroughly enjoys time helping out in the kitchen. She gets so excited with the simplest tasks like making a boxed cake. She doesn't have a sweet tooth. So Scott and I try to eat it by ourselves within a week!

Baker Girl

Emma really wanted to make sugar cookies one day. So her sweet Daddy picked up some ingredients at the store during his grocery trip. She happily put on her baker's jacket and hat and tested out her play utensils. No, we did not use the toy blender. But she did use her rolling pin and cookie cutters. Playing with the flour and adding the sprinkles were her highlights. And she did actually like her creations this time! (That's because there wasn't any chocolate!)

Emma the Baker

It's a long slideshow, but the last few pictures are priceless! You'll see that Emma LOVED baking and was so excited to eat a cookie when they cooled . . . but after her first bite she remembered that she doesn't like chocolate! "Ew, yuck! I don't like chocolate!"

Making Cookies

The three of us whipped up some chocolate chip cookies one Sunday afternoon. Emma did a great job of pouring in the ingredients and stirring. Here is a video of her in action. My next blog post will include photos of the entire baking process. Emma enjoyed this activity so much that she's asked to make cookies several more times since then. We had a second go just last weekend.
