Mother Daughter Cooking

We were recently given a huge stack of books, among which was the American Girl Molly's Cookbook.  I gave the cookbook to Emily to look at and she immediately started asking if we could make just about every recipe in it.  So, we sat down and planned out a dinner that we would make together.  She chose meatloaf, mashed potato volcanoes, peas, parsley biscuits, deviled eggs and applesauce cupcakes for dessert.  I had so much fun teaching her how to cook and bake and she had a lot of fun helping out in the kitchen.  I think that we've just started a tradition, as she wants to do it again and RJ is interested in helping with meals too!
