This year we have had Firedrake cooking a family dinner once a week and we have been very consistent with that. Her reward for cooking dinner is that I do the dishes that night:) For Christmas I bought a blank recipe book that I have had Firedrake write down some family recipes in. These are the ones she really likes and either I or my husband make.

| I won't pretend that she actually loved this idea! I am hoping she will appreciate it when she moves out on her own and has to remember to cook her own meals:) |
 |
| She writes down the recipe as she is cooking as I don't always used exact measurements so this helps us both to figure out the measurements for certain ingredients! |
 |
| We have a few recipes written down already |

I intend to do the same for MarioFan when it is his turn to learn to cook! Like I said hopefully in the years to come she will learn to appreciate this Christmas present and the effort she has put into it to create a personal cookbook of her favorite childhood recipes. A mother can dream, right, LOL:)!
That's a great idea!!!
ReplyDeleteI did similar for my girls but gave them card boxes and they were supposed to write or print recipes on them ... I think they've average writing up one recipe a year ... lol Mine were gifts to them too ... I feel your pain!
ReplyDeleteOh,, I am sure she will be happy you had her do this one. I worked with my children on cooking and my son's wives love that their husbands no how to cook. They are all really. good cooks. I loved this one.
ReplyDeleteBlessings wished for you all and enjoy the your new cook's dinners.
