I have been baking with Lexie at least once a week. The past few weeks we've done a couple things. Lexie helped smash the strawberries for jam. And then helped clean the sugar measuring cup by licking it.
Today, she helped shape the pizza dough for dinner. Since I was grilling the pizza she was not able to help put the toppings on. And since it was close to 100 degrees out today, I wasn't even letting her on the deck to watch.
In both cases, she refused to try the end product. In both cases she loved the products that made up the final product but still won't eat it. So those who say cooking with your kids helps them eat more needs to meet Lexie.
Hopefully the next projects go better. I'm going to think of things she'll be willing to eat and participate more in making.
