Cooking with Kids: Pizza


 One of my most favorite and vivid memories, was making pizza's with my mom when I was little.
Even back then, my mom liked to start her cooking adventures at night, so I remember my sister and I standing on stools, in our adorable pink frilly nightgowns and aprons, rolling (as best a 7 year old can do) the pizza dough. 

My brother's love to join in my pizza making (and cooking in general), so for Christmas I bought them their own special aprons and let them make pizzas.

I shaped the dough into little circles, set out the ingredients, and with little direction let them at it.
(as good chefs do, they were "tasting" the ingredients along the way)
The clean up was easy and I think they had a great time, especially watching their pizzas through the oven window. 

Miss those monkeys so much

The aprons that you bought them look great! Maybe they'll make a visit to you soon? Sometime in summer maybe? I know cooking with little ones can be challenging but they always seem to enjoy it and have a lot of fun!
