One area of our
homeschool that I am focusing on this year is teaching the blessings to cook.
When I moved out of my parent’s house I had no idea how to cook. I was never
taught except when I was in home ec in high school. Even then I had no idea
what I was doing. If it did not come in a box with directions then we were not
eating. I did not truly learn how to cook and I mean learn to cook from scratch
until my mid-20’s.
I want my two blessings to feel comfortable in the kitchen prior to them leaving home. They need to know the terms used in cooking. They need to know how to double or triple a recipe. They need to know how to properly measure items. They need to know how to cook for their future families. They need to know how to be independent.

Each week my 13 year
old daughter has a night of the week where she makes the entire meal. I sit
back while she cooks but I am there if she has any questions. I have noticed a
difference in her confidence. With each new week I see her more confident than
the week prior.
The best part of all of
this????
Mom does not have to
cook!
Win/win!
