As part of a summer experiment and teaching opportunity, we decided to have each of the kids try their hand at playing chef (planning and preparing the meal for the family). They had to choose what to make, check the pantry for ingredients, make a shopping list for what was missing and then prrepare and serve the meal on their night. Each week, we had a night where it was someone elses turn. They loved it!
Goose went first and planned a big meal of chicken lasagna, garlic bread and jello parfaits. It was all delicious but I forgot to take any photos. Silly me.
Spiderman here chose homemade pizza, fruit salad, and this cake for dessert. They relished every step, from what to make and how to prepare it. Can you see the big smile?
Jaybird chose to BBQ for his meal and you can see the hot dogs and burgers sizzling on the grill. He paired that with chips and salsa and pumpking pie (his favorite dessert). Oh the power he weilds with those tongs...
Boo had a more creative touch with her meal plans. You can see her showing off her ocean themed seashell mac and cheese topped with octo-dogs. Finish that off with a big bowl of dirt and worms (chocolate and gummy respectively) for dessert and we all felt like kids again.
GOOD JOB KIDS!

LOVE IT! How nice for you, some time off, and nice for them to learn how to cook! (They did have to do clean up as well, right?!) :)
