A bunch of gals at church decided to start a bookclub and I was a little overzealous in wanting to be one of the first to host the bookclub. I didn't think about all the preparation that went in to making your home spotless and goodies to share and enjoy. Luckily, I had a little helper who made life a tad bit "easier" for me by helping me prep and make some cookies for those coming over.
We made oatmeal fudge bars and (for the most part) Lily listened very carefully to all the instructions and put everything into the mixer herself. I was the assistant (eggs, scraping, doing the fudge on the stove, etc.). She did a phenomenal job and was so excited to wash her hands before (and numerous times during). But I think that through the whole process she was the most eager to turn on the mixer and sift the flour. I was not allowed to touch these things as they were clearly her job.
When the cookies came out of the oven I made sure Lily got to try them very first, before anyone else. She worked so hard at helping me with this little project that I made sure she was rewarded for all of her hard work.
If this is a little snippet of what is to come, I am so excited for her enthusiasm of working in the kitchen. I can't wait to continue to teach her new things and watch her learn and grow and love to cook!
