Kids Cooking Breakfast

I often cook with the kids because I want them to be capable of preparing food for themselves. To further reach this goal, after Christmas I added cooking breakfast to the daily list of school tasks for my nine and eleven year old. Each day one of them gets the responsibility.

My daughter likes to cook from her memory. She has prepared things like eggs and breakfast burritos depending on what's available in the house. She loves shepherd's pie and even made that for breakfast once too.

My son has created his own cookbook to help him prepare breakfast. It has directions for things like scrambled eggs, oatmeal and grilled cheese.

They love cooking breakfast and I like it when they cook too. Now they have control of what we are eating so they're happy. I'm happy because if they're making it, they're not complaining about it. Plus, I have more time to do laundry, clean house and the other 101 jobs on my daily chore list. This was and awesome change to the daily schedule and I highly recommend it!
