So, the title of this post. It, of course, refers to Isabelle. On my quest to get Isabelle to try to eat more vegetables, I thought I’d bring her more into the cooking process. Hmmm…stubborn duck. That would work for Alan as well.

But anyhoo…back to what I was saying, getting Isabelle into the cooking process.

Isabelle will usually help me with baking. She’s a great little mixer. And she loves adding ingredients to the bowl. But she’s never been at the stove top.

I am a worry wart. I worry that she’d burn herself. Then one day, Alan mentioned his coworker’s kid, who is younger than Isabelle, making stuff at the stove top. And, so, I thought, well if that kid can do it, Isabelle can too.

Ok, so on that particular day and that particular picture we were NOT making something with vegetables. But she was at the stove top.

She was actually making Cinnamon-Espresso Churros (minus the espresso):

Bwa ha ha! So healthy.

Ok. Seriously. We have been trying. She made this homemade pizza practically all by herself. She poured all the ingredients in and rolled it herself. She put on the sauce and cheese and even the “tomato explosions”.

Did she eat the tomatoes? Um…NO. But she ate the rest of the pizza that DID have tomato sauce on it. Well…a step at a time, right?
