Great article, Nancy! I'm impressed with what Logan decided to make for you and it sounds so yummy. The hardest thing for me when the kids cook is not getting too involved/taking over. 🙂
Thanks Heidi, he did a great job. Not getting over-involved is my challenge too, but he's gotten a lot better at letting me know when he wants to cook on his own!
