Dinner Teamwork

Tonight, around dinnertime, Dallin was browsing my recipe book for an appropriate option for his Sunday night meal.  Ezra was nearby and noticed an intriguing recipe featuring pasta and bacon.  He had strong feelings about the recipe, and had a great desire to make it for dinner, so he and Daddy made it together!

Ezra does take an interest in cooking, but has never been so focused in the execution.  I think it had a lot to do with one key ingredient--bacon.  At any rate, Ezra was grating cheese, adding milk, stirring pasta, and sprinkling in green onions and bacon.  It was a true father-and-son effort!  I was so pleased to see his interest.  Of course, he was so proud of his contribution and soaked up the positive feedback like a little sponge.  Three cheers for Daddy and Ezra, the heroes of our Sunday dinner!

Ezra and Maren chipped in together to help me make brownies after dinner.  They each took turns adding an ingredient, stirring with their whisks, and then licking them when the job was complete.  Hooray for teamwork!
