Foodie Friday - Tasty Recipe...can your kids cook?

I am thinking to do this post a little different than usual!

Today was a very productive day and during the day of course I cook meals for the family. I love cooking with my children. It is actually a highlight to my day!

Since they were babies I have always had them partake in cooking. Of course when they were babies they would sit on the counter and help stir! As they have grown their duties grew. They began measuring and stirring. Then they began to cook on the stove. Well reading recipes with me standing by to help was the next step. Now I can just step back and they can cook the meal pretty much on their own.

To be honest sometimes I miss doing all the cooking. It is my thing! But I know that I want to prepare them for life and I don't want them to always eat out or microwave a dinner!!

My daughter can literally cook breakfast and plan the meal out whether it be tofu with potatoes, pancakes or biscuits. The list goes on actually and she is only eleven. I am sure she will surpass my cooking ability and she has already surpassed my baking abilities!!

Today we (the kids) made stuffed shells. My children and I are vegan and my husband is not. So in our house we make two variations of our meals. My son made my husband's shells and my daughter made ours!! They were delicious 😋! I wanted to leave you with the vegan stuffed shells recipe and hope you are able to try them out and see what you think! Eating to the Glory of God never tasted so good!!
