Cooking Mama

Erin has always enjoyed helping me in the kitchen. As she gets older, though, she's able to do more and more, and really BE a help!  This morning, we started cooking a crockpot recipe for dinner tonight (Meat-Lover's Slow Cooker Spaghetti Sauce, if you're interested), and Erin was right there with me, helping ready the onions and sausage, and later the beef. She then opened all the cans of tomatoes, and stirred everything together, before turning on the crockpot to work its magic.  I love that she's taking an interest in cooking this early, and look forward to spending lots of time with her in the kitchen as she gets older. And I can't wait for dinner tonight.  It's going to be really delicious!!!
