Cooking With The Kids

OK, I've been on a kick to make sure my teenage sons can cook.  Every month, they have to make dinner for the family.  Well, I tried something different this weekend.

I realized it's good to teach them to cook, but that's only half the battle.  This time, I let them pick out a recipe and then we went shopping.  They had to make a list of everything they needed for the recipe and shop for it.  Then when we got home, they had to prepare the dish from scratch.  My oldest son made Beef Parmesan and it was fabulous!!.  I will try something different next time...I am going to give them each a budget!!  Let's see how that works out!
