She did a wonderful job! Look at that adorable expression she has.
Mine are older, even my baby is a little older than Sally Mae, so some of them do quite a bit in the kitchen.
Kay (19) likes to cook regular food – she is a seat of the pants type cook. She likes to get in there and just throw something together with whatever she thinks might taste good. Most of it is pretty good, and some of it is great (just a couple of duds). She does quiet a lot of the routine supper cooking.
Ri (17) likes baking best. She keeps us well supplied with cookies, and really enjoys making pies as well. She does fine with the regular everyday cooking, but prefers following a recipe, although she will alter one to suit her/our taste, or our pantry contents.
Bree (12) likes to do it all, and is coming along nicely with everything she’s trying.
Beenie (10) just likes to help – not the most “stick with a job ’til it’s done” type person, but we’re working on that. If she had it her way, she’d break all the eggs, stir things together, and run off with the beaters while you finish up.
T.Lynn (8) loves to help in whatever way I’ll let her – I just need to remember to call her in to help more often.

What a lovely smile of accomplishment on Sally’s face! My daughter (24) started as the “biscuit maker” around Sally’s age, and it wasn’t too long before her dad and 3 brothers preferred her biscuits over mine! Today, she can prepare whatever she wants, and they want whatever she prepares! It takes a little more time on the front end to do what you are doing, but the payoff is enormous later…in blessings for your family table, and also in blessings for her own table someday. “Train up a child” doesn’t only refer to godliness. We train in every area of life that involves service to others.

Looks lovely! I love those little loaf pans for gifts for Christmas . . .

No girls yet, but my two year old son loves to help me cook. His favorite is anything in muffin form, which he calls cupcakes. Doesn’t matter if they are the healthiest, whole wheat, honey-sweetened sweet potato muffins, it’s still a cupcake. And that is fine by me!

Best,
Sarah

Baking with your daughter is rewarding! Love her picture!

you will be blessed for taking time to spend with your daughter and to teach her lessons such as these. One day she will hopefully remember what her mother did for her when it is her time to bake with her daughter

Your daughter has such beautiful eyes. I’m so glad you are teaching her to bake. My girls now have families of their own, but we baked together as well. They are wonderful cooks, so all those years of patience has paid off with some wonderful meals.

“don’t want to teach her to be impatient with her children” I needed to hear that today!
