Our weekend was full of hanging out at home and cooking. The kids helped out with all the meals . Isabella wanted me to make something yummy that included her carrots that she grew..

Here they are.. Tiny cute carrots...
We decided on Beef Stew..

Here is my Bella working away....
So you should find things that make cooking fun ..

Like playing with your food and making shapes..We decided a heart would be the best choice..

There you go..we made Beef stew..
Here is the recipe I find to be family friendly...
