Jesikah has become very interested in cooking this summer. And, I'm very interested in her learning as much as she can, because the more she does... the less I have to do. :) For me, baking desserts and things are ok, and breakfast and lunch are easy, but I hate cooking dinner. My kids always cry about dinner no matter what we're having, and it feels like I go to the effort of making dinner just to punish myself again by making them eat it. She's learning to make some dinners, so maybe eventually I'll turn it over to her. :)
So far, she's learned to make a few things, and she has gotten very good at following a recipe. She will make mac n' cheese quite often for lunch all by herself and it turns out great. Her favorite thing to make is dessert, of course. She made this cake from a cake mix, frosted it, and decorated it 100% on her own. I think she did a good job. It was cooked perfect and tasted very yummy. She took this picture and asked me to put it on the blog. Anyway, I'm glad that she is learning to enjoy cooking.

Very cute! You will have to tel her that she did a good job! Yeah, for years i wondered why my mom hated cooking dinner....slowly i'm starting to see why(Jared's not picky, but I tease him for being a child cus sometimes he complains about what i make).
Yummy looking cake, JB!! I can't wait to talk to you again soon. Love, Ally
Great job Jesikah! It is too cute.
I hope my daughters do that too. Cute cake, Jesikah! But what you said about making dinner and then punishing yourself again by having to make everyone eat it--TOO true!! I don't care what it is--not everyone is happy at the same time. I need to figure out a way to teach these people to be grateful for whatever slop I put in front of them. :-)
