Cook!

Unless there’s a particularly compelling show on television, each time I begin my dinner preparations in the kitchen, I hear the pitter patter of little feet as four-year-old Kyle comes in to ask, “Can I help you?” He doesn’t even wait for an answer as he heads over to pull the step stool up to the kitchen island.

Creative Summer DaysHaving the kids help me in the kitchen is fun for them, and it’s a character-builder for me. I have to slow down and remain calm, and be willing to take a little more time to clean up the bigger mess that it creates. It’s absolutely worth it. In the short run it encourages them to try new food, because they see where it comes from, but in the long run maybe I will be able to kick back and watch my favorite television show while my kids are cooking my dinner.

Just last night, my nine-and-a-half year old daughter told me that she would like to cook more dinners (by herself) this summer. I told her that she could, but she had to plan ahead, and pick out some recipes so that we could shop and be prepared. Children’s cookbooks are great, because they have recipes that can be prepared with a minimum amount of adult supervision with great pictures so that she knows what it’s supposed to look like.

yumo.jpgIf she’s armed with a good step-by-step cookbook, the right ingredients, and a willing Mommy standing by, she does a pretty good job of putting a meal together.

Yum-O: The Family Cookbook is Rachael Ray’s newest cookbook. This book has so many positive features:

  • As Rachael Ray says in the introduction, one goal of the book is to “make eating healthier as a family easier, more affordable, and fun.” I tested out a recipe for Penne-Wise Pumpkin Pasta which uses canned pumpkin and whole grain pasta. My family didn’t love it, but they ate it, and it was an easy and healthy recipe. I might tweak it and try it again soon.
  • Each recipe has a sidebar which guides you towards how “The Itty-Bitties” can help (by beating eggs, squeezing spinach dry, mixing dry ingredients etc.), which can encourage you to let even the youngest of children join you preparing dinner.
  • One section is devoted to “rollover dinners” which allow you to cook once and eat twice (or more) with some quick variations.
  • Other sections are devoted to breakfasts and lunches and snacks, which are helpful in trying to break out of the same old menus that could be replaced with better alternatives.

    I’m always looking for new recipes to try – especially ones that are fast, easy, AND healthy! This cookbook looks like it offers recipes that fit that criteria.

    P.S. I blogged about this contest in my Tuesday Tours column this past Tuesday: http://metropolitanmama.net/2008/06/tuesday-tours-whats-happening-on-the-web-30/.

    My stay-at-home Mom always had me help her in the kitchen. I was 14 (and the oldest of 5 kids) when she went back to work. I got a “job” making menus and grocery list and preparing dinner for the family several nights each week. It was adventageous for both of us, and I felt a lot more prepared to take care of myself when I went away to college.

    Love love love RAchel Ray and as her fellow italian sista I need this cookbook. Well really I need it because I have 3 kids and meals that can be ready in 30 minutes or less is perfect. I dont’ have time to cook in the evenings if it takes more than 30 minutes and my children living on hotdogs is not a good idea LOL

    I’d like to win this book. I need recipes my teen son can do easily.

    This quote is funny…I tested out a recipe for Penne-Wise Pumpkin Pasta which uses canned pumpkin and whole grain pasta. My family didn’t love it, but they ate it, and it was an easy and healthy recipe. I might tweak it and try it again soon.

    I make up my own recipes, and sometimes they don’t come out the way you would think. I tried to do a pumpkin lasagna using canned pumpkin and lasagna noodles. My family didn’t love it either, but they did finish it. My kids will taste anything, as long as I don’t try pumpkin lasagna again.

    This is something that I know I need to improve in as mom. My boys really love to help but I have been so hesitant to allow them to help me much in the kitchen. Just reading your post was an “aha” for me. I’m like – oh yeah, they could squeeze out the spinach. Never thought of something like that.

    I wrote a post and will put the button in my sidebar but the button isn’t working right now.

    You are on the right track when it comes to teaching your children to navigate the kitchen. All of my children help out in the kitchen and my oldest two can prepare meals.

    Patience and perseverence builds memories now and reaps benefits later on.
