This is my daughter and me. A couple of years ago for about a year I would cook with one of my children, whatever they wanted to learn how to cook. Anna Caryn decided she wanted to cook roasted chicken, homemade macaroni and cheese and green beans. I want my children to know how to cook but healthier than how I learned by watching my mom. I love my Mom and I am very thanful to her. Her and my grandmother are the reason why I cook so well. Toot, Toot! My mom did what she new best and I love her for instilling in me the enjoyment of food and the beauty of cooking it. I hope I can instill in my children the enjoyment of cooking but just a little healthier than what I grew up with eating. We are from Louisana so you can guess it was some pretty heavy foods. Good but fattening. We sure do love our butter. I would catch my mom licking the butter paper before she threw it away. Sometimes I find my oldest son doing that too! Oh My! I still have my work cut out for me! 
I don't want my children to turn out overweight like me. I love my children but I don't want to show them love with food. We had a great time cooking together. She did a great job and I am really proud of her. She even thanked me afterwards for the time we got to spend together. That is the kind of love I want to show my children.
Blessings!!!
