Cooking with Emma

Sometimes when I babysit Emma we cook together.

First we go to the store to get supplies. I always make sure Emma is appropriately dressed for the weather, and baby-fashionable.

Then we mise en place all of our ingredients. Here we're making miso soup.

Here we're making Spring Vegetable soup.

Emma likes to watch from her highchair that is next to the counter. She is very chatty when we cook. She enjoys playing with carrots and melons while I chop vegetables and cook. We usually listen to NPR, I think she likes the Brian Lehrer show best.

We then have a delicious mid-day feast. Usually a healthy vegetable recipe for me, and milk for Emma (or sometimes veggies mash, she's fond of sweet potatoes).

We then tidy up. Griffin likes to help with the dishes as long as it is sunny.
